  • Compliment-magnet signature fragrance
  • Seamless, buildable cream blush
  • Natural, defining brow gel
  • Gentle, lightweight cleanser
  • Inconsistent shade inclusivity
  • Sheer, short-lasting formulas
  • Fragile, leaky packaging
  • Variable scent longevity

Glossier earns praise in reviews for effortless, no‑makeup makeup staples like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, and the universally complimented Glossier You fragrance, which many call a signature scent. However, reviewers flag inconsistent makeup payoff and longevity, polarizing skincare efficacy, packaging flaws (leaking body oil, cracking lipstick caps, messy Cloud Paint tubes), reformulation disappointments (Balm Dotcom, You perfume), limited shade range, and some products feeling sheer, basic, or short‑lasting.

  • Glossier is litteraly such a pretty brand, packaging, the smell, it feels luxury, the price it worth it so much, glossier products form part of my daily body and skin care routine.

  • innovative and "fresh" a few years back. now it's basically the same as all the brands available at sephora - merit, rare beauty, rhobe...etc. unless you really LOVE a product, wouldn't repurchase again as the price is not the most affordable recent reformulations has been a bummer too

  • I love everything Glossier! I have tried nearly all of their products and the one I swear by the most is their perfume. It is my signature scent and I get compliments every time I wear it. I have recommended so many friends to try it as well, they all love it!

  • Really like the minimalist look of the brand. Also obsessed with their signature scents.

  • I love this fragrance. It’s a clean, strong smell that is good for any time of year. I used Dolce & Gabana ‘Light Blue’ for years and ‘You’ gives a similar smell.

  • I have been using Glossier for years, but their stretch concealer is so worth the hype. Blends so well into the skin and lightweight but buildable coverage.

  • Glossier is one of my favorite brands. I own a few products but Boy Brow and the Cloud Cheek Paint is my favorite and I cannot do my makeup without it.

  • The balmdot com lip product has great flavors and feels nice. It’s not as hydrating as other product though if you have severe dry lips. Definitely feels more of an every day hydrating lip or a nice shine for a no makeup look

  • I love glossier for basics. I have always loved their milk jelly cleanser and have been using it since I was 16-am now 22. The glossier perfume I get compliments on at least twice a day. It smells completely different on everyone but always amazing. I use the lash slick when I want to look like I’m not wearing mascara, but want my eyelashes to no be the normal blonde color they are. Some products are a miss but these three are amazing!

  • I love these products. Always smell good and are applied easily. I only wish they lasted longer for me--I seem to go through a given product very quickly. Especially boy brow--I was having to purchase it SO often. But I really liked the product.

  • The perfume is my go-to and the body wash is underrated, but I feel like the makeup is very good, the lasting power isn’t great and sometimes it’s too minimal.

  • I'm a millennial and I did my generational duty of buying some Glossier products. Also worth noting that I wear very little makeup on a daily basis, and throwing on some Glossier is my version of getting dressy. It's low effort, low pressure 'no makeup' makeup and it makes me feel a tiny bit more polished. Bow brow = does the thing and my brows pop a little bit more. Balm dot calm = I like the packaging, not sure if it's any better than vaseline but it smell good. Cloud paint = it's a smart concept and brings some color to my cheeks. The mascara is also good and doesn't result in an overly dramatic spiderweb eyelashes.

  • I absolutely love the perfume. it smells so modest!

  • I have been wearing boy brow for years. The tube lasts forever and doesn’t apply clumpy. I wear blonde and it gives just enough color for my eyebrows to pop, but still look natural

  • all the formulas are incredible and scents are amazing. only gripe is that the balm dot com's new formula and packaging is just not as good as the old version. i also have the stretch foundation and it is amazing!

  • Glossier is the ultimate it-girl brand. Every time they come out with something, the world pays attention. They have cute and thoughtful packaging, and generally good products. I will say with Glossier, is you're buying more of the brand than the product, so keep that in mind. They have great customer service if you have any problems. My favorites are the You perfume, Lash Slick mascara, and their new foundation.

  • I did not love the boy brow, it did moisturize my eyebrows but it did not keep them in place. It was similar to putting vaseline on my eyebrows.

  • their lip balms smells and tastes like old lipstick.. it's pretty stiff to apply unlike other balms but cute packaging and branding
