Glossier reviews and discussion

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 love some of Glossier's products, including Boy Brow, the perfume solid, & Cloud Paint.

  • Products are ok, not great. Like the packaging and the brand story.

    Ok but don't need to buy again

  • Glossier's perfume made me nauseous. I was so excited to smell it and all it did was make me feel absolutely sick to my stomach.

  • hit or miss with these products. Packaging is consistently pretty though!

  • I wanted to like this brand so bad. I really like the natural makeup look and thought Glossier would be a good fit but I feel like it's just average in quality. I used their "the Solution" for a while and it was working but after a while one of my bottles started smelling really bad and so I ordered a different one, and it also smelled terrible. I asked their customer service about it and they said they would send me a new one and they never did. I followed up a few times and still never got anything. I tried a new toner from a different brand and haven't looked back.

    Some products are better than others! It's worth a try if you are into the natural makeup look! They never made me breakout but I can't say it's better than any other brand in my opinion

  • I like their products a lot! I think their packaging is cute and fun which makes it very exciting to receive a package from them. Their mascara, liquid exfoliator, perfume, sunscreen, liquid eyeshadow, etc. are all amazing! I would highly recommend this brand!

  • Love the make up products. Haven't tried skincare. Blush is my most used product.

    Please ship to Finland.

  • Overall, I like Glossier and am a repeat customer. I do think their skincare products are much better than their makeup products. I've noticed the makeup packaging and materials are cheaper and tend to break easily. For example, the brush on boy brow always snaps after a month of use so I stopped purchasing. That being said, nearly the entire skincare line is my go-to.

    If the makeup packaging and materials didn't deteriorate so quickly, I'd buy more!

  • As an early DTC brand glossier was in touch with their customer. However as of late they are completely missing the mark.

  • Really enjoy all products from here! Love the packaging and find the products to be of high quality.

  • Such a variety of products, but generally enjoy all of it, with a few minor drawbacks on a handful of items (any of the eyeshadows, etc). Boy brow, lash slick, perfume, all deserve the cult status.

    Wish there were more sustainable packaging options. Products are small, wish is actually nice since beauty products don't have a long shelf life, but sometimes can feel wasteful.

  • I've owned a few products but the one I keep reaching for is the Generation G lipstick in Jam as it gives off that perfectly blotted look. For the three lipsticks I own, all of their lids have cracked which is super frustrating as the crack causes the lids to pop off in my purse / makeup bag.

    Fix your packaging!

  • Love the concept. Overall like the products more than I disliked. The skin tint goes on nicely and the color match was easy due to the sheerness of the formula. Wowder is great! So light. I did not care for the cheek color nor concealer. The perfume is nice.

    Feedback

    Concealer did not work for me as it emphasized lines under my eyes and also did not blend into my skin. Instead it sat on top and looked a bit patchy. Cheek colors are very pigmented but the product dries very quickly. I would end up with a very bright colored area before I could blend out.

  • Love most of Glossier’s products that I’ve bought. Great quality, long-lasting.

  • I hate to be basic, but man I love Glossier. The packaging and vibes of the brand are just amazing. I went to their Covent Garden store and it's just dreamy. The pink, the customer service, the products are just lovely. I'm obsessed with their lip balms and skincare products, it's slowly taking over my whole routine. I feel boujee when I use their stuff, my skin is always glowy.

    Feedback

    They could improve by giving me free stuff because I love them lol.

  • While I like some of the products I've purchased, I try to stick to their mascara and a select few of their skincare items. I find the majority of their makeup to lack pigment and staying power and really only look good on people who are light-skinned and blessed with perfect skin.

    Feedback

    Just kind of bland, wish there was more personality to the Glossier line. Also very troubling to hear about the racial discrimination of employees of color at Glossier.

  • Love their buildable lipsticks! A great way to warm up to wearing bold colors

    Feedback

    excited to finally have a store in ny!

  • I have bought a variety of glossier products. My absolute favorites are boy brow, body oil and the jelly cleanser. Love the packaging!

  • Overall, I did not love the majority of the products I have used. Body Hero, balmdotcom, milk jelly face wash, moon mask. I did like the Boy Brow and Solution, however I use other products that are similar I prefer.
