Glossier reviews and discussion

What can I say, Glossier's branding and packaging got me. I first bought their products online without ever having sampled anything. Their makeup line is really fun--I'm especially a fan of their lidstar eyeshadow, which gets applied with a wand (like a lipgloss) and comes in pretty, very wearable colors. Also, their Wowder (loose setting powder) is AMAZING--a makeup mainstay for me, I genuinely don't use any other. Also love their balm dot com, which comes in adorable flavors (birthday is the my favorite) and is pretty moisturizing. And, I mean, the products just look great on your dresser!

I currently have the following products from Glossier and have been pleased with all of them. - Lash Slick mascara in black: a very subtle look, think "your eyelashes but more defined", I would wear it more often but it has sadly flaked every single time I have used it. - Boy Brow eyebrow pomade in brown: looks great and I have had no issues with it, this product is more for evening out color and brow hair direction than hold. - No. 1 eyeliner Pencil in Kiln red: I was looking everywhere for a red pencil eyeliner and this is the best one, it goes on smooth and dries down well enough that I have worn it during a workout and had no smudging. - Cloud paint in Storm: the color is amazing and the formula is the right amount of buildable. - Balm Dotcom in Rose, Birthday, and Cookie Butter: all three smell and taste amazing and I would love to try more, however, it seemed to be marketed as a tinted lip balm and the colors just did not show up or last more than a couple minutes. (This product is also not unique enough to warrant the price so I would only get one if you are curious instead of three). - Generation G lipstick in Fuzz: I was a bit disappointed in this formula as it ended up creasing a bit weirdly and the other colors available are not flattering on most people. - Ultralip lipstick in Ember: I liked it at first but I find that it becomes uneven after about an hour of wear. My recommendation for this product would be to only wear it if your lips are fully hydrated and to reapply more often. - Glossier You perfume: it smells amazing! My first purchase came with a free sample and the scent profile is modern, youthful, and honestly a little addicting. I have not bought a full bottle though because it is quite expensive. In addition, when I was in D.C. I was able to visit their Georgetown store and try almost all of their makeup products (available in the summer of 2022). - Boy Brow in clear: does dry down with a slight white cast so if you have darker brows I would opt out of this one. - Generation G lipstick: the colors are a hit or miss so I would recommend trying them on when they are available in Sephora stores next year. - No. 1 eyeliner pencil: I was able to try each of the shades and all of the formulas were opaque and dried down well. - Lip Gloss: the texture was nice and I loved the gold color - Pro Tip liquid eyeliner: great standard liquid eyeliner - Lidstar: did not blend out well and was disappointed with the texture - Skywash: did not blend out well, the formula was chalky, and the colors did not hold up well - Stretch concealer: amazing, very buildable - Monochromes eyeshadow: I wish the shadows were more pigmented and had more variations in color options - Perfecting skin tint: good for evening out color and redness but don't think of it as a foundation - Brow flick: very precise tip and seems natural - Solar paint bronzer: okay but when blended out it doesn't really add anything - Haloscope highlighter : nice, I wish there were more shades

Very beginner friendly, easy to use makeup! I love their blush and brow gel. My only qualm is that it can be easy to accidentally dispense more product than wanted with the blush tubes. The mascara is my all-time favorite; I can't use anything else at this point. The most natural-looking mascara I have tried, looks like you're not even wearing any, but still does the job a mascara should do. It keeps my lashes curled all day, even if I workout. The balm dot coms too omg! So nice, and great scents! (except mango, I hate the mango scent but several of my friends have tried it and liked it)

I have only ordered from them once and so far my experience is average at 3.5 stars. I feel that for the quality and size the prices are a bit high but overall the products work well. For my first order, I purchased boy brow, You solid perfume, and the balm dotcom.

cheap products, basic scents, meh

Glossier is one of those brands that once you take the plunge and get the products, I think most people will really love them. If you are looking for a full glam look, this isn't the brand for you. It is very much a clean, no-makeup makeup brand

This brand is adorable and addictive. And one of the only makers of a non-comedogenic bronzer I could find!! I can't do any pore blocking products due to lovely adult acne and Glossier knocked it out of the park with their solar paints for such an affordable price. I also adore their lip glosses and scented balms (the rose makes me feel like pure beauty). Big, big fan!

Have tried a lot of glossier, only product I think is A game changer is boy brow. Otherwise, I’ve found it’s pretty average.

Glossier has slowly been trying to work its way back into the mainstream and has started to gain some traction once more with an influx of physical stores allowing people to begin to try products in person and purchase them. I was able to purchase a few products in store and really enjoyed them.

Such a variety of products, but generally enjoy all of it, with a few minor drawbacks on a handful of items (any of the eyeshadows, etc). Boy brow, lash slick, perfume, all deserve the cult status.

Boybrow is unparalleled. I haven't tried any of their skincare but I find the makeup is meh. There are better products out there.

I went in store at the Soho location in 2019 for my first (and last) purchase. The products were by no means bad, I just did not find them to live up to the hype that surrounded them. Great price point for the items though!

I have and will continue to love Glossier for years. The brand ethos is so unique and they started a big trend of simple makeup in the beauty industry. My absolute favorite products are lash slick, Glossier You (so ahead of its time), cloud paint, super pure, and ultralip.

I love glossiest original line of products but the newer ones can be hit and miss. Balm dot calm and boy brow are great basics

I've been a tried and true Glossier customer for years. Their products are fantastic for the minimal look, but also buildable as desired. They're simple in the best way, and are perfect for everyday use. Some favorites include cloud pain, generation g lip, ultralip, boy brow, balm dot com, and glossier you fragrance.

What you get depends on what you want from this brand. There are other products, that aren't as expensive, that do really similar things at this point in time. Those products are also frequently easier to access (although Glossier is coming to Sephora). Their classics are super solid (Cloud Paint, Gen G lipstick, the mascara), but again, they aren't as unique as they once were. I believe most products will perform in a low impact, but easy to use way, which may be what most of their customers are looking for. The customer support has always been top notch for me.

Used the invisible shield sunscreen. Really enjoyed it, super lightweight

I like their minimalistic approach and they have some genuinely great products but I think their color selection is too narrow

I love the glossier cream blush and highlighters. I have had my blush for YEARS and there's still a lot of product in it. And, over all these years the quality and pigment is just as good as the first time.

Love the branding and the feel of the products but many can be substituted easily with drug store brands. That being said, I have yet to find a comparable boy brow dupe!
