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 haven't used all of their products but their perfume is to DIE FOR. I get compliments EVERY time I wear it and always enjoy it.

  • I have mixed reviews about the products but I do like the branding and packaging. I love the unboxing experience and the Cloud Paint and Generation G lipsticks. I don't really like the brow flick product.

  • Really great range of products = some of which have become staples in my collection. Their Cloud Paint, Boy Brow, Balm Dotcom, and Lip Gloss are my favorites. The Glossier You perfume was also great before they reformulated it, it smells very different now and not in a good way:(

  • the only product i have purchased from glossier is the boy brow. while it is a great product - it is so overpriced for the amount that comes in the package. there are many competitions that provide the same amount of value with more product and a lower price point. I have tried their cheek tints while in the store and i cant say i was impressed at the amount of time it stayed for

  • The body hero wash and balm dot calm both work wonders for lips and skin. The glossier you fragrance and candle smell amazing and the candle fills a room in minutes.

  • I wore glossier’s “you” perfume for my wedding day. The smell is unlike anything I’ve ever worn before. It’s unreal. Every time I spray it I become obsessed all over again.

  • I have to say I have mixed feelings about Glossier. It seems like many of their products are geared towards younger users, and as someone who's not exactly a spring chicken anymore, it sometimes makes me feel a bit left out. But, and this is a big "but," two products have completely won me over; Cloud Paint and Generation G lipsticks. These gems have become my go-to staples in my makeup routine. The Cloud Paint gives me the perfect natural flush, and the Generation G lipsticks offer this effortless, lived-in look that I can't get enough of. Seriously, they're amazing. So, while I might not be the exact target demographic for Glossier, I can't deny the magic of these two products. If you're looking for a lovely blush and some killer lipsticks, definitely give them a shot.

  • At first thought it was quite overpriced, decided to see for myself. I think some of the products aren't as good as people hype them up to be like the brow flick, but they have really good products like their blushes, my go to!!

  • Absolutely love glossier’s packaging and all around branding! My favorite product is the boy brow!

  • Some of Glossier's products appeal to me and I have tried their skin tint and lip balms. I found that the skin tint was pretty greasy, even with my dry leaning skin and the balms almost had a balm-like texture. It definitely tends to be higher in price than the quality that is provided but has a cult-like following that push it no matter what. If you like it go for it but otherwise steer clear.

  • Beautiful packaging on skincare products. Absolutely love the cloud paint, it gives me the perfect glow while also having great color payoff. Also blends like a dream

  • Boy Brow is the best ever of course. Everything else is not good at all. No staying power, low quality. Except boy brow !!

  • I’ve tried a lot from this brand. Whereas I’m not a fan of lash slick, the moisturizers, serums, and boy brow are consistent re-buys!

  • Love the packaging and the fun unboxing element. The mascara is my go-to product. I miss the ‘Play’ products as these were great for events and fun evenings. Fast shipping , always.

  • Have tried the balm dot com. A nice lip balm. There’s better but it’s really nice and the packaging is pretty.

  • Love Glossier’s You perfume! It’s truly the most natural scent and I get asked what I’m wearing every time! :)

  • Nice products, really love the packaging! The only product I did not enjoy was the jelly cleanser, as it did not remove my makeup well enough. The body hero products are awesome!

  • If you want your face to look flawless, this right here is what you need🫶🏽🫶🏽

  • Love using their foundation and fragrance! Foundation is very lightweight but the color still shows, it was exactly what I needed for the summer. Something to give me a tan shade, and light consistency. Fragrance is refreshing and good, I always get compliments for it!
