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.

  • I absolutely love the sleek packaging. The product smells AMAZING but I feel like it does not last as long as I would like it to (after application).

  • So excited Glossier is now sold in Sephora. Allows you to go in and try all the product. So far I have tried the Cloud Paint in Storm & the Milky Jelly Gentle Gel Cleanser. So far I like them. The cleanser is especially great for added hydration for my dry skin.

  • I’ve used Glossier on and off since their launch in 2014. I’ve tried almost all of their products at this point. I used to really love their products and their mission in the early days, but lately all of their newer products have been so underwhelming. Nothing is innovative or “holy grail” status for me. Most of their new launches feel like watered down versions of time-old favorites from K-beauty, J-Beauty, and French pharmacy products. Their formulas are fine if you’re just getting into skincare or makeup as a teen or early 20s, but if you’re older these products will be mediocre at best.

  • I love the lash slick and the generation g lip stick (but I use it as blush), glossier is a great company, It feel effortless and it's not intimidating which I enjoy. I've never used any of their skincare products but I love their makeup.

  • I have tried several products from Glossier, and will continue to try more. The perfume has been my everyday scent for several years and I don't see that changing anytime soon!

  • A bit overhyped. Love their lip balms, especially after they reformulated and changed the applicator. FINALLY no more sticky fingers.

  • I love these products that I have tried so far including: You Perfume, boy brow, lip gloss, and eyeliner all of which I would repurchase again and again. I do not love these few products: the solid You perfume ( a little too heavy and not useful although very pretty), lip G in Zip (too orange on me and not moisturizing), and the brow flick (much prefer the boy brow). Their packaging is always cute and their products do last a long time.

  • I used to love glossier, however I feel like they are reformulating all their products, but their makeup is perfect for light minimalist makeup. I especially love their old balm dot com formula, the new one just isn’t as hydrating :( I will say i love the experience of opening my glossier package, or even shopping in store. this brand has truly reinvented the shopping experience.

  • Not a fan of the makeup products as the coverage is way too light for my preference but I love the fragrance! Whenever I wear glossier you I get tons of compliments!

  • I use their milky jelly cleanser on my face everyday. It cleans great but doesn’t make my skin feel dry after.

  • You have to try their lip products right now!! So perfect!!

  • Love the mascara. Deposits color and fullness without fibers, and stays put.

  • really great products and even better branding

  • I love the Balm Dot Com lip balms, especially the birthday cake flavor. They’re good quality. I have also used their eyeliner and liked it. I didn’t love the Future Dew serum, but it may just have not been right for my skin type.

  • My overall assessment is that there is nothing great about the quality of the product. In fact the quality is somewhat inferior. For example, the mascara is thin and insufficient. However their branding is off the hook. They were innovative at the time with the branding. The pink and red zipper pouches are admired by branding folks worldwide.

  • Good products but seem to be outdated, nervous the perfume was reformulated

  • I love their approach to minimalistic beauty and skincare. I use their products for everyday use and at the pricepoint its great value! I love when new products are introduced and always make it a point to try out all their new items! Their super dew is great for giving that everyday glow!

  • I absolutely love the Glossier You Solid perfume! It is the BEST solid perfume to have in your bag because it’s so easy transport and take on the go which makes it a perfect travel essential. I always get soooo many compliments when I wear it! The scent is a little more subtle than the spray perfumes but honestly when you’re reapplying on the go sometimes you don’t want anything too strong. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a solid perfume option :)

  • I like many of the Glossier products, especially the Cloud Paint and Balm Dot Com, but the skincare did not have much of an effect on my skin. I love the simplicity and approachability of the Glossier brand.
