  • 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.

  • The products are drugstore quality at a much higher price point in my opinion. I’ve never been thrilled with a Glossier makeup product, but they’re fine. I do love the perfume though. That seems well priced for the quality of the scent.

  • LOVE this brand. The 5 products I use on a daily basis for the past 3 years are the mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, skin tint and perfume. Their products are easy to use, give me a natural look, and don't irritate my sensitive skin. I also believe they are reasonably priced considering how long they last.

  • My girlfriend gave me the milky jelly cleanser and that was the single best skincare product I have ever owned. It's effective, smells good, feels great, and it makes your face smooth af.

    It can be a little drying. Not a problem for me, but something to keep in mind.

  • Love the skin tint! And packaging is so cute good for sensitive skin

  • honestly, wasn’t for me. I bought every serum they owned and used the whole bottle and I truly felt like it just sat on my face and didn’t impact it at all. My friend swears by the exfoliator so I will be trying that at some point but the serums are a huge NO for me.

    Do you research on your skin type and maybe wait for a sale. I would never pay full price for this brand. Very e-girl.

  • my favorite product from glossier is their perfume you. it’s a gorgeous scent that enhances your natural scent which will have heads turning.

    shipping can be slow but it’s so worth it in the end.

  • I’ve been a fan of Glossier since 2014 when they started! The first thing I order was the Rose Balm Dot Com. They’ve come out with a lot of great products like Lash Slick, Ultra Lip, and Glossier You. Glossier You smells amazing and I love that it changes on each person. I’m also a big Ultra Lip fan because there’s a variety of shades with a lower pigment load so they end up being more like a tint. I love how moisturizing they are. I recently got one of the new candles they launched and it smells so good! It also burns pretty evenly and has a decent throw.

  • Have been a huge fan of Glossier since they came on the scene - I remember getting my first balm dot com like it was yesterday! I think the brand is going through some growing pains right now but I do still love many of their products - lash slick, BDC, the entire Body Hero line is to die for, I'm obsessed with You and their new candles smell absolutely incredible and burn evenly. Im interested to see where this brand goes now that they're going into Sephora.

  • I have tried probably half of the products in the line and overall I am very happy with them. They really do hold to the “no makeup” look so I mainly used them when I was staying very minimal. The mascara applies a thin coat but it stays on well and doesn’t flake or smudge. The lip products have more pigment but ultimately look more like a lip stain once applied. The concealer is super light and somewhat oily so if you have significant dark circles or fine lines it might not be for you.

    Overall nice products that apply evenly and look good. Very minimal coverage on foundation and concealer (def a “no makeup” makeup line!)

  • the glossier zit stick burned my skin and took about 1.5-2 weeks for my skin to heal again. even if i tried covering it with makeup, you could tell my skin looked weird under the foundation.

  • I was super into Glossier when they first launched, but over time I became less impressed with the products. They seem to pour more money into marketing and branding than they do into the actual products. I have grown more into clean beauty over the years, and have since stopped buying Glossier products as I am not impressed by the ingredients list. This was most obvious to me when I purchased the You Fragrance and immediately felt sick and got a headache from the scent. They are mediocre products with too much hype.

  • I love their products. They have really helped my skin to look healthier. Love them

  • Love their balm and I use it as a chapstick replacement nightly. Have repurchased many times over the years!

    Feedback

    Love their balms!

  • I've only tried the balmdotcom but it's my favorite and is so moisturizing! Lots of different scents/flavors available too and a good price

  • I've purchased many different Glossier products through the years. Some are super good, some are just ok. I keep coming back to them because of their price point, ease of online/in-store ordering, and commitment to a simple, glowy aesthetic (which I appreciate).

    Feedback

    The top product that I will continue to buy is the perfume- I truly get so many compliments about it! Cloud Paint and Boy Brow are so hyped that I was expecting them to be amazing, but I'm underwhelmed every time. I prefer the versions from Merit Beauty.

  • Some of this stuff makes me break out -- but I love the lip balm and blush!!!

  • I love the bomb dot com and the lipgloss. Both are so hydrating and look beautiful on! Anytime I pull a glossier product out of my purse, all my friends ask to use it!

    Feedback

    I wish the lipgloss was in a larger tube! I ran out so fast.

  • Great no-makeup makeup! I specifically like the bundles that Glossier sells at a slight discount. Products are easy to apply, blend well and come in a good selection of shades. I also like feeling that I can get though a makeup product fully before it goes off. I continue to find new products that I like!

  • Only tried skincare from this line, and it didn’t stand out. The packaging is pretty and you feel cute when using it, but the price doesn’t justify the experience.

    Feedback

    The only product I’ve found that’s unique enough to purchase are their balms- the cookie butter one stays in my purse.

  • Glossier is affordable but not the best quality products compared to products in their price range.

    Feedback

    If Glossier focused on their quality I would buy their products more often.
