Glossier reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Effortless, intuitive application
  • Natural, dewy finishes
  • Compliment-magnet fragrance
  • Chic, memorable packaging
  • Sheer, low coverage base
  • Inconsistent pigment payoff
  • Fragrance longevity concerns
  • Fussy, fragile packaging

Glossier delivers a polished “no-makeup makeup” look, say reviews, with standouts like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the wildly complimented Glossier You perfume; however, skincare feels basic to many and several formulas or shade ranges, pigment, and longevity draw criticism. Reviews praise easy application, natural finishes, cute packaging, and store experiences, but note issues such as reformulations (especially Balm Dotcom and You), light coverage, packaging flaws, and inconsistent product hits, making it a brand best for minimal, effortless looks rather than full coverage.

  • sucker for the lip balm! i swear i have like 20 tubes lol

  • I miss the old applicator I find the new one tends to leak but this lip balm I swear will never run out

  • I've tried a handful of Glossier products. Most of them I have loved, but there was one lip product (I can't remember the name) that I didn't love due to the smell and how it went on.

  • the glossier you perfume, especially in the solid but also in the candle and regular spray, is amazing. love the scent so much! not super original now but still smells amazing and gets compliments all the time. i also love boy brow and have yet to find a better brow product for the price. the cloud paints are also good, great intro to blush.

  • I have enjoyed just about every product I have from Glossier. One key key factor for me is their makeup ingredients include zero pore clogging ingredients. You can always count on Glossier for not breaking you out! Their makeup is light and always leaves you looking dewy. My favorite is their concealer. Their skin tint is really nice, their brow gel is really nice, their blush is fantastic. Their skincare is actually extremely effective. & I think their prices are reasonable! I've been a stan of this brand for years & will continue to restock my products of theirs.

  • Used to love this brand and was an early adapter! I have noticed, however, with their collaboration with Sephora most recently that their products have really decreased in quality. From the packaging to their effectiveness and because of this, I cannot recommend this brand anymore. They have definitely sold into general capitalism, making the most by spending the least.

  • To be quite honest, Glossier has a cult following but I have thought they are just okay. I think it's pretty expensive for what it is, and I've gotten better lipstick with less color transfer for less.

  • I love their cloud paint but otherwise I think some of the products aren't my favorites - packaging and brand are super cute though!

  • Glossier is a master of hype and fomo. They're like Supreme for millennial women. But - they do have some great items in their line. The lash slick mascara is absolutely wonderful. I also really enjoy the Lidstar eyeshadow for a one-and-done swoop of color that's really easy, versatile and carefree. I can do without the brand's marketing tactics, but I do really enjoy these products.

  • I'm obsessed with the perfume. The solid perfume is perfect to travel with. The skin care are just okay, I didn't see a difference when using the Milk Jelly Cleanser nor the toner. The only makeup I'd recommend is the cloud paint, it's natural and buildable.

  • I've loved every item I've purchased from glossier, I love their products and transparency.

  • Cloud Paint blush goes on smoothly and delivers a very natural "flush". It is also buildable for a more dramatic look. It is easily the most natural looking cheek color I have ever used.

  • Enjoyed the instore experience very much! Products didn't feel that special, unfortunately! Got lip balms, and moisturisers. But did love the cloud paint blushers! Would recommend the cloud paint blushers for sure!

  • Disappointed in a number of their reformulations over the past year - the perfume used to be my go to and now smells completely different. The reformulation of balm dot com is grainy as well. I also think the quality has taken a hit since being offered at Sephora.

  • Glossier has lost it's charm. I used to wear almost exclusively Glossier, but their formulation has changed for the worse. I can find better, cheaper alternatives of every product.

  • smells soooooooo good. need this scent in a candle immediately. want to smell it for the rest of my life.

  • I recently purchased the Glossier Cloud Paint Cheek Color and I have to say, I am absolutely in love with it! The texture is so smooth and creamy, making it incredibly easy to apply and blend in with my fingers. The color is also gorgeous and buildable, so you can achieve a subtle flush or a bolder pop of color depending on how much you apply. What I love most about this product is that it gives me a natural-looking flush that lasts all day, without feeling heavy or cakey on my skin. Overall, I highly recommend the Glossier Cloud Paint Cheek Color to anyone looking for a versatile, easy-to-use blush that looks beautiful and lasts all day.
