Reviews mention

  • Effortless, natural makeup effect
  • Beloved, compliment‑magnet fragrance
  • Lightweight, comfortable textures
  • Iconic, chic packaging
  • Sheer, low‑coverage bases
  • Inconsistent scent longevity
  • 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 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

    Friends with Glossier
  • 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  • Good products but seem to be outdated, nervous the perfume was reformulated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.

  • The You perfume smells SO good!!! I use it everyday. It’s light and not too over powering but gives you that nice hint of freshness. Highly recommend.

  • A lot of what made the brand appealing to me was the the experience of buying the product in NY. The fun pouches and stickers made receiving the products fun, but the showroom really was like a makeup wonderland. The products themselves are great and I love all the fun balms.

  • Obsessed w their You perfume and candle!! I also love the new grapefruit candle. Haven’t tried a ton of their skincare or makeup, but the CS is super helpful and responsive. Glad they’re making a comeback.

  • There are some standout products (Glossier), and a few misses. Overall, a quality brand at a good price point.

  • I am a huge fan of their perfume, boy brow gel, and liquid eyeliner. Love this brand!

  • Very hip brand. Really enjoy the cloud paint, really wish it was in an easier to use tube. I didn’t love the lip stain lipstick which was very disappointing; it felt very dry and drying. I would be willing to try other products.

  • Great products for a natural makeup look. Wish more of the face makeup had SPF and that the company prioritized using clean ingredients, but I like the quality

  • I have used their Cloudpaint and also their gel cleanser. My feelings on both are neutral, the cleanser is so average, nothing special about it and very similar to Cetaphil, which is drugstore. Cloudpaint has fun packaging, the colors are useful, but again nothing to write home about.

  • LOVE the glossier perfume. I receive compliments almost every time I wear it. The bottle is excellent value.
