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.

  • I've purchased many products from Glossier over the years. The one product that I continue to rebuy is Boy Brow. It is excellent. Overall, I'm not impressed with the other products but Boy Brow is incredible! I do think this is good for entry level makeup.

  • I’ve just tried the brow gel (clear and brown). I absolutely loved them! My brows had never stayed in place so long. It’s unlike any other brow gel. I’m obsessed.

  • I got the mini rollerball, the scent is nice, but doesn't last very long

  • Simple products, good packaging, great marketing. I’ve repurchased the mascara and boy brow gel. Its easier to buy now that there are physical stores open/ they are carried in Sephora.

  • consistently underwhelming despite not promising a lot-- i always feel like i want to like the products more than i actually do

  • I went to the IRL store in LA when visiting and it was great experience! I bought the mascara in brown and I think its a good one and done mascara for no makeup days. It's not the best for holding a curl and lengthening on my short straight Asian lashes. However, at the store it felt so personal and about you because they write your name on the bag when they give you your order. I can see why people love the mascara as their target is for a natural look! I just throw it in my bag for quick makeup.

  • Love the packaging and they have a lot of shades to find the perfect foundation match. Love their in store experience in London too!

  • My go to perfume is glossier you! Perfect scent for daytime. Wish the staying power was a little stronger though cause it’s so nice.

  • I have mostly tested Glossier makeup. Love the generation G lipsticks, it reminds me of the makeup I use to wear when I was a kid, in a good way! It looks very natural.

  • Some products are better than others. 5 stars for Boy Brow - great formula and use it religiously. 3 stars for the concealer. It's buildable yes, but almost too buildable where I feel I don't get much coverage. Balm dot com not sure it's worth the money. 5 Stars for Cloud paint. Lovely. 5 Stars for this perfume. I always get compliments. I love this brand and mission, it's just finding what works for you and your skin type.

  • I’ve been a Glossier customer since 2017. This is my go-to beauty brand for makeup no makeup look!

  • This perfume smells so amazing and fresh. I get compliments on it all the time. Great price point for the amount of product and the packaging is so cute!

  • Cute packaging, but overall didn't win me over as a long time customer. I liked the balm dot com and boy brow (but that runs out so quickly). I found the cloud paint was way too pigmented.

  • Their lipgloss is perfect and has the right amount of gloss and hydration.

  • Amazing high quality product my girlfriend loved it 100% recommend

  • I have been using Glossier since launch in 2014. Their Boy Brow remains my holy grail brow product, and I am never without it. Their perfume also has earned its cult status - its the perfect soft daily scent.

  • Love the cloud paint, I have tried multiple colors and looks very natural. Only negative. It does not last all day. Cost is very reasonable for quality of product.
