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.

  • Cute packaging. Fav product is cloud paint- love my cream blushes!

  • Was advised by a Sephora lady to get their eyebrow glue or gel. I personally love it. The area where I do not have brows it works as a decent adhesive for my pencil to fill it. My brother apparently uses it and has told our mom about it lol. Idk who told him but 🫶🏾

  • AMAZING skincare. The lidstar eyeshadows, concealer, and lipgloss are my favorites. There is a lot of product in each container, so I think it’s worth the price.

  • I feel like Glossier got me into the makeup and skincare world honestly. Their approach is so gentle, it's like here's what you need, we did all the work already. I've used their facewashes, concealer, and balm dot com for 5 years straight. When was the last time you used a brand for that long??

    Glossier takes feedback so well. If you ever have an issue - EMAIL THEM. They are so helpful.

  • My little secret to success - "Cachet", ultralip- my holy grail lip balm! Not only does it keep my lips perfectly moisturized all day long, but it also gave me the confidence to conquer any challenge that comes my way. It may seem small, but having soft and healthy lips is truly a game-changer.

    A perfect shade enhances your natural beauty. Youll feel confident. It is not always easy to find a shade that suits your skin tone, but when you do, it can make all the difference. This brand is inclusive so the models can be perfect when choosing shades.

  • Products are middle of the road and a little overpriced for what you get. There are a few shining stars however, and the boy brow is probably the top. It gives your brows some color and definition without being sticky or tacky or stiff.

  • Glossier had the best comeback this year. Honestly, the store and customer experiences are worth the wait and worth every penny. Walking into the Glossier store is like walking into alice in wonderland where all of the products are merchandised beautifully and you can see your purchased bag coming down the assembly line. I couldn't help but purchase 6-7 items because of the fun experience I had in the store.

    NO complaints. I love this brand. It'd be amazing if they sold their zip lock packages separately. I know many people use them for travel purposes!

  • Absolutely love glossier products. The packaging is sleek and the the price point is very good.

  • Love the packaging and brand in general, but some of the scents are a little too strong for me!

  • I love this brand but they are high priced. I have tried several products and they worked well

    If the price was cheaper I would buy this brand more

    The 3 color almond eyeshadow palette is my go to. It comes with a matte and 2 shimmers and they all blend well together. It's subtle, which is a look I prefer.

  • The liquid foundation don't really add anything or cover up anything, I find it to have even less coverage than a tinted moisturizer. Slowly fell in love with the perfume tho! Ultra lip is a bit dry. Love the packaging.

  • I’ve used a few products from Glossier and they never quite wow me. They are all good, just nothing to make me keep coming back. EXCEPT, the balm dot com lip balm. That stuff is amazing

  • I've used the Glossier gloss and it is sooo nice on my lips and stays very long! I also love the brow brush, it gives the best thick brows you want.

    Feedback

    The lip gloss could be a bit less gel-like but still very good

  • I have used the toner, mascara, boy brow, cloud paint, balm dotcom, body lotion, concealer etc... and honestly I think it is nice user friendly makeup, there are probably higher quality options out there but for the accessibility of it now at sephora I think it will stay popular

    Feedback

    The price could be better, not in love with the product for the boy brow

  • Love Glossier! None of the products are revolutionary, but they're all simple, effective and look super cute on your countertop. The cloud blushes are my favorite!

  • I’m a huge fan of the perfume and love that you can get it in a solid that is easy to pop into a purse when traveling, etc. It’s not overwhelmingly perfume-y, just subtle and feminine. I recently had an order stolen from my porch and the customer service could not have been more gracious in replacing it quickly and without question.

    The packaging is cool and very aesthetically pleasing, but also kind of wasteful — so much extra material (eg rubberbands, specialized boxes, etc)

  • I like this brand ok, some of their products seem low quality

    Feedback

    I love their boy brow product

  • Love their blushes and their sheer matte lipstick, the packaging is cute but I have had a couple issues with it - one of the lipstick caps will never stay on so the product inside was damaged, and one of the tubes of blush popped at the side seam so product seeps out of it if not careful. But the formulas themselves are lightweight natural and easy to use.
