Reviews mention

  • Effortless, natural makeup effect

  • Occasional packaging fragility
  • Sticky gloss, drying lipstick

Glossier impresses in reviews for delivering easy, natural-looking makeup—standouts include Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, and the much‑praised Glossier You fragrance—while drawing criticism for ultra‑sheer coverage, inconsistent longevity, and packaging flaws. Reviews say the brand is good for “no‑makeup makeup” days and everyday scent, but skincare feels basic and shade range and recent reformulations (You, Balm Dotcom) disappoint some users.

  • I had recieved a gift over a year ago but due to a break I hadn't used it. I procrastinated approaching Glossier however when I finally discussed it with them they provided me a replacement free of charge. Their customer services where quick, efficient and kind.

  • Glossier was the first "brand-y" brand I ever really bought into. In college I was soooo hard into it and got like every drop. Now I love them for their strengths (boy brow, skin tint, You perfume) and feel like I can see through their more gimmicky stuff (RIP the whole glossier play line). She's a classic in her own way.

  • Glossier has earned every one of its 5 stars in my book. Their products have revolutionized my beauty routine. With a commitment to quality and a less-is-more philosophy, Glossier enhances natural beauty like no other. The skincare range leaves my skin glowing and refreshed, while the makeup products provide a polished yet authentic look. The minimalist packaging is a delight, and their dedication to diversity is commendable. Glossier is a game-changer that deserves a permanent place in your routine.

  • I really like Futuredew, it's kind of like an all in one skincare routine. Balm dot com has also become an essential for me. I have the birthday cake one - i love the subtle sparkle and it keeps my lips moisturized.

  • i love their lip / blush stains ! i like when i can have versatile makeup and that’s exactly what they are!

  • I have enjoyed using ever single product I’ve purchased from Glossier and their customer service is unmatched. They are definitely for someone looking for a more natural look but I think they have a wide range of products that anyone into beauty and skincare would like.

  • I love glossier products! I really love the packaging and makes me feel so girly 💓💗💘 I also appreciate how the products feel very authentic.

  • The solid perfume smells AMAZING! I love the aesthetic of this line. The products look so pretty.

  • I absolutely love glossier and this is a company I hope to work with in the future. If there’s one thing I’m not leaving the house without, it’s my glossier birthday cake lip gloss. Leaves me feeling refreshed and accessories my simple makeup perfectly

  • The brow gel is worth the hype! I have dark brown/black eyebrows and use a shade lower for a softer look. Lasts all day.

  • I love the lip gloss and blush. The lip gloss makes your lips nice and shiny and it's lasts several hours. The blush is so versatile and can be used even on top of bare skin. This is not my go to brand anymore, but it is a close second.

  • This review is solely based on the perfume. 12/10 stars. The comments I have received 👀. It smells funky the second you put it on but that quickly subsides. One whiff and my partner can’t keep their hands off me.

  • I have used the moisturizer and replenishing eye bag cream. Great eco-friendly products.

  • I tried so hard to love this brand, For a while I was able to just love it based on aesthetics. The actual use of their products was just so underwhelming. I tried most of their skywash and lidstar colors, and there is basically no coverage. I understand that this is a minimalistic approach, but you should be able to notice something if you are using a green color at least. Some of their serums are okay, but you can find better for cheaper. If the products had some more coverage their products would work fine. Like I said, I really wanted to love this brand!

  • have tried quite a few of their products over the years and overall they have really strong products imo. skincare : the jelly cleanser is very lightweight which works for my skin is pretty sensitive / don't like super harsh cleansers although for others, it may not be enough. their balmdotcom is a glorified vaseline tbh but again, that works for me because i'm generally just looking for something to seal moisture into my lips. i like both of the moisturisers and currently am using the rich one. really like the super bounce and prefer it to TO's hyaluronic acid / marine hyaluronics. future dew is nice but sometimes i'm not sure if the dewy look just comes off a bit oily so won't be repurchasing. makeup/fragrance: i loooved generation g lipsticks (esp cake & leo) HOWEVER they need to FIX the packaging. idk but after a while the lid cracks and then it doesn't stay on anymore so when its in my bag, the lid always comes off. PLEASE fix this glossier bc i love the shades & texture. also really like the monochrome eyeshadows, good pigment and nice shades - prefer it to lidstar, bought it once and never really used it. cloud paint is nice but still never fully gotten used to finding the balance of liquid blush application. i love their you perfume, not too floraly or overly sweet.

  • Glossier is a game-changer! Their products feel luxurious and they really understand skin needs. Truly a fan!

  • I love the simplicity of this brand. Packaging is simple but cute. The perfume smells so amazing. Boy brown is my absolute favorite product by them and right next to that is the Futuredew. Absolutely stunning.

  • I've only tried the Glossier Lipgloss. It gave a high shine without feeling sticky. My lips felt so protected and moisturized while looking good. It didn't take long though and I would need to retouch.

  • Have not tried the skincare yet but..... the makeup, especially the boy brows and the lip balms, goes with me everywhere. It's just what I need - nothing more, nothing less, gets me out of the house in 10 minutes. Although - if you are looking for products with more actual "makeup" effect, the lipsticks or stains are great. But the other ones are more for the "no-makeup makeup" looks in my opinion. If you have a store nearby, make sure to go visit! They'll make the experience as personalized as possible for you!
