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.

  • 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.

  • Slowly but surely, my beauty collection is transitioning to almost exclusively Glossier products. I love how innovative their products are, and have found that they deliver on the promise of a "no makeup makeup" look. I never go anywhere without Boy Brow in my brows and Generation G in my purse. Every time they drop a new product, I'm first in line to try!

    Feedback

    I'd love to see Glossier products more widely available for purchase.

  • I have tried Glossier's boy brow, cloud paint, and lash slick. While the products themselves are quite good and look very cute, I would hesitate to repurchase from the brand following allegations of racism and a toxic work culture, which the brand has responded to but has not taken any actions to remediate.

  • Love me some Glossier! It's pretty much my entire routine, and gives me a natural, clear look. Boybrow is awesome, and I recently started to use the skin tint with the stretch concealer, topped off with the wowder. It doesn't even feel like I'm wearing anything!

  • I started using Glossier over 5 years ago and their products have been part of my daily routine ever since. The mascara is unlike any out there and is the perfect everyday natural lash enhancer. The Gen G lipsticks are another go-to and give you that blotted look without trying. The body wash oil is extremely nourishing and has a great smell to it.

  • Love the simplicity and usability of these products. Perfect everyday skincare and makeup.

  • I enjoyed the Glossier products I've tried, which includes the priming moisturizer rich, the balm dot com, their concealer, and their skin tint. The moisturizer is probably my favorite product overall. The texture and feel is very nice and it makes my face feel very moisturized. I got a sample of their You perfume and it smells so good.

    Feedback

    I didn't love the skin tint, I felt that it was patchy and greasy on my face. However, that could just be my skin type and texture; it may work great for others. I wish Glossier was carried in Ulta or Sephora because having to order online and possibly pay for shipping is annoying.

  • I started with the lip balm and was hooked! I’ve since bought three more flavors as well as the perfume. I can’t go a day without putting on the perfume or lip gloss.

    Feedback

    The perfume cap sometimes separates when I go to open it only the red cap will come off leaving the pink cap inside.

  • Caused breakouts because of the ingredients. I'm acne prone, maybe this will work better for you if you're not that.

    Feedback

    Formulations that are safe against breakouts.

  • This isn’t what I reach for when I’m having a breakout. But when I’m feeling confident in my skin and want to illuminate and sculpt and glow, I love glossier. The product I keep coming back to is cloud paint. I just love it. I have many colors and they’re super blendable. Love futuredew and boybrow too! Their mark on the industry is undeniable and I love the trends they innovate and take part in.

    Feedback

    The monochrome eyeshadow doesn’t pack much of a punch—I’d love to see some more fun colors, and also reimagined packaging (like 4 quadrants instead of 3?).

  • You will be my forever scent! I get soooo many compliments and copy cats in my friend and family circles. The Body Hero oil wash is incredible for shaving. Affordable price, love the branding.

  • Love my perfume! I get compliments every time I wear it. Very soft and subtle, perfect for everyday wear.

  • I’ve tried a range of glossier makeup + skincare at this point and have never repurchased anything other than their perfume (which is amazing). To me I know if I don’t repurchase something it was just meh and I can either find a more affordable dupe or a better product altogether. Their perfume is incredibleee though and has been my scent for the last few years, always get compliments.

    Feedback

    In terms of skincare I’ve tried the masks and cleanser, which I felt I could get similar results for less elsewhere. In terms of makeup I didn’t love the formulas of a lot of what I tried (haloscope, cloud paint, mascara, gen g, lip gloss). I did like boy brown but was able to find a $4 dupe at the drugstore lol

  • even though i’m hesitant of any brand that gets as much hype as glossier did, i do really like a lot of their products. several have become staples in my daily makeup routine. i think the products are a good quality, even if the prices are a little more expensive than i would like.

    Feedback

    i would love to see some new products from them!

  • Used to love Glossier but it is so expensive for low quality
