Reviews mention

  • Effortless, buildable formulas
  • Compliment‑magnet signature fragrance
  • Iconic, intuitive packaging
  • Natural, seamless finishes
  • Sheer, short‑wear pigments
  • Inconsistent reformulation outcomes
  • Drying, quick‑spent mascara/brow
  • Fussy, fragile packaging

Glossier earns mixed reviews: the brand excels at effortless “no-makeup makeup” with standouts like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the Glossier You fragrance, but several users find the skincare average and some makeup too sheer to last. Reviews praise easy, finger-friendly application, flattering shades, and iconic packaging, while noting weaknesses such as reformulations (Balm Dotcom, You), limited coverage and pigment, mascara/brow products drying quickly, packaging flaws, and scent or longevity concerns with You.

  • 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!

  • OBSESSED with the perfume! literally one of my favorites :) Glossier Perfume is pure enchantment in a bottle.

  • This review is for glossier you the perfume. Is a daily scent, I’m not tired of using it, each day I love it more and more. Is very clean, I love the Iris in this perfume it gives a touch to the whole perfume, and the ambroxan. I love that is everything I wanted to smell every day. Super easy to wear. Would improve the lasting power, but because of the change of some ingredients is not the same long lasting. This is a moderate projection perfume.

  • Love the Glossier You perfume, although I heard the new version isn't as good. I am still using their liquid blush after 4 years, and they are still halfway full! And I didn't like their stretch concealer, didn't do much for my dark circles.
