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 have only tried glossier's concealer, but it is my absolute favorite. it offers light and glowy coverage that doesn't dry my skin out and I am currently on my third pot of the stuff with every intention to repurchase when I run out again.

    Feedback

    If you're someone who likes heavier or matte coverage, you probably won't like glossier's concealer.

  • I wear the Glossier You perfume everyday since Fall of 2021. Not a single day since has gone by that someone does not tell me I smell great! This scent somehow manages to morph with each and every person to best complement them. It is officially my go to scent for the rest of forever!

  • I don’t use the skin care but the makeup is so good! I use Boy Brow religiously, it’s perfect for fluffy brows. Their concealer totally melts into your skin and doesn’t get cakey or crease. Love!

  • Fun branding. High shelfie score. The product itself doesn't feel high end and i've never actually been a repeat customer.

  • I absolutely love the mascara but the rest of the products were just meh for me. So I washed the tube and use the applicator because it’s perfect for my short lashes.

  • First exposed to glossier through my sister. Love the packaging, formulation and effectiveness of each and every product.

  • Absolutely love the skin tint. It’s a very lightweight product that just evens out your skin tone without looking like you have makeup on. You don’t have to use much.

    Be sure to figure out which option best matches your skin tone.

  • I've used their lip balms and their glossier you perfume.

    Feedback

    I absolutely love the smell and aesthetic. Perfume is my favorite!

  • I use their exfoliating body bar, deodorant, and body oil. Deodorant - 4 stars. Love the packaging + smell, but its a little "wet" going on. Body bar - 5 stars! Body oil - 3 stars with the miss being the packaging. Its a glass spray bottle that's hard to push down, and slippery oily hands + glass just do not mix. Def need a redo on this one!

  • I am the typical poster girl for Glossier - Millennial, city dwelling, female, into a minimalistic routine. I have some HG items I purchase over and over, and own a few merch items too. I've been following the brand since the "Phase One" skincare set days (IYKYK) and it breaks my heart to see all the reformulations happening recently (balm dotcom, priming moisturizer rich... and milky jelly next).

    Feedback

    Pay attention to recent reviews, especially in light of all the reformulations. Customer service has changed as well, they seem to be less generous/forgiving with their return policy nowadays. Free shipping threshold is also higher now.

  • Used their 3 step skincare routine and had my skin feeling so soft and supple. The lip balm doesn’t dry off early and does it’s job perfectly

    Feedback

    I love it

  • I've never gotten something from Glossier that I don't like, but there's also not a single product that I'm in love with or feel like I couldn't get somewhere else. That being said, I think my favorite skin care products are the 3 serums - I love how they feel and my skin likes them. I also like Futuredew although it's a little sticky for me. I usually use it more for makeup than for skincare. I was a little disappointed by the moisturizer moon mask - I just don't like the texture and thickness of it personally and I didn't feel like it did much. I do think maybe their makeup products are better but I haven't tried a ton of them yet.

  • Glossier makes some of the best skincare I have ever used. Their packaging is top tier and their products are some of the best on the market!

  • decent products at a decent price point but nothing to write home about! lots of better indie brands at comparable prices.

  • I love the brand. I love their cloud paint blushed and the balm doc com lip balms. I preferred the older packaging on the lip balms, but i have chronically chapped lips and this is the only lip balm that helps me. I also like their solid perfumes, i wish they had more scents.

    Feedback

    I am not a fan of their serums, there are better ones out there for the same price range. I love most of their face makeup products and would recommend them to anyone who loves the clean / minimalistic makeup look.

  • have combo/dry skin and this is perfect! I use it along side Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser and Solution - I think I’ve found my new favorite skin regimen! The scent is very mild. Feels wonderful on and gives a subtle glow. I like how it’s a thicker formula; a little goes a long way! My skin looks happy and feels hydrated and healthy.

  • their products are really amazing, i love their simple and clean approach to beauty! and their aesthetic is one of my favorites.

  • This brand is fine. Everything feels a bit expansive but also muted and small. For how subtle the products are, it would be nice if they were cheaper
