Reviews mention

  • 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.

  • Of all the "no-makeup makeup" brands, glossier is the one that feels the least offensive on my face. I've tried the lip balm, the concealer, the milky cleanser, the eye shadow, and the perfume. I'm a big fan of the line, but less of a fan of the "girl-bossy" culty-ness and the price tag. I will say I still save and use all of my bubble mailers <3

  • I really like glossier's skincare and body care products. not enough to continuously purchase, however, because I think they focus a little too much on presentation and being aesthetically pleasing.

  • Definitely worth a try! I absolutely love the perfume, would highly recommend.

  • My ultimate go to fragrance, soft, powdery and floral without being overpowering

  • As much I always want to LOOOOVE this brand, it always leaves me hanging with the quality-price relationship. This brand is great, but the price point is too high for what I am getting. It does not give me the feeling of quality when I use it. Their products feel like add-ons to my routine more than they feel like staples. Again, would love to love but ehhh.

  • Eh. I had a lip-gloss from them that I really liked but they recently changed their formula and its not as good now. It's very runny and leaves a weird film.

  • Tried multiple of the products and most we're very irritating on my skin. The milky jelly cleanser was the only product suited for sensitive skin.

  • Love their products. Nice packaging and shipping boxes. Great customer service and friendly staff and the mango balm is to die for. My must have for everyone.

  • Greta products! I use the body oil wash daily and obsessed. The smell is amazing and my skin feels so soft. I also use the cover up and it covers so so well.

  • Love their boybrow but wish it came in more shades. They need a dark brown between the brown and black.

  • 5 stars for Glossier You! 4 stars for everything else. Glossier has created such a FUN brand that I totally got sucked into :) I have made many purchases, am a boy brow enthusiast and love their store experiences. They make makeup and skincare accessible and cool. I definitely waited in line for their Seattle pop-up (before they established the official one) and had such a great time. Quality is good for price, over time I've found a few dupes that do the job, but there will never be a dupe for Glossier You - it's the all-time best!

  • I love Glossier’s cute packaging and overall look. I’ve tried several makeup, skincare, and fragrance products and there are definitely a few standouts. Their You perfume is a really nice, light scent at a great price. Maybe not a ton of staying power, but it’s nice to have as an option. I’m also fully obsessed with their cloud paint. Somehow every single color looks great on my very fair skin (in varying amounts) and it blends and stays all day! They also carry a great clear gloss that’s not overly sticky. Nothing I’ve tried is a holy grail that I keep in stock, but I order from them when I think to.

  • I love makeup, but sometimes I feel like something a bit more minimal. Glossier is my go-to for these days, with skincare, balms, creams, and pigments that leave me looking and feeling fresh-faced.

  • Absolutely loved the brand when it first launched! The ‘clean girl’ aesthetic and the millennial pink branding were great and completely on point. My favourite products are the future glow and boy brow eyebrow gel.

  • I love their makeup and branding but I'm not super blown away by their skincare. My favorite products definitely have to be the lipsticks and the cloud paint! They have a beautiful array of shades that look super natural on the skin.
