Reviews mention

  • Effortless, natural makeup effect
  • Beloved, compliment‑magnet fragrance
  • Lightweight, comfortable textures
  • Iconic, chic packaging
  • Sheer, low‑coverage bases
  • Inconsistent scent longevity
  • Occasional packaging fragility
  • Sticky gloss, drying lipstick

Glossier impresses in reviews for delivering easy, natural-looking makeup—standouts include Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, and the much‑praised Glossier You fragrance—while drawing criticism for ultra‑sheer coverage, inconsistent longevity, and packaging flaws. Reviews say the brand is good for “no‑makeup makeup” days and everyday scent, but skincare feels basic and shade range and recent reformulations (You, Balm Dotcom) disappoint some users.

  • I have only tried the lip balm because of social media and I can say with 100% confidence it is worth all the hype!

    Cheaper options

  • Glossier is my favorite beauty brand! They have unique and functional beauty products—and they send samples with orders which I appreciate. I love the brow flick, boy brow, and the wowder.

  • Glossier has a few products that it does really well. I really like the skin tint, boy brow, and some of their skincare. Now that there is more competition, their items do not stand out: I am not a big fan of their mascara, balm, and eyebrow pen especially.

    Feedback

    Some of the products are lackluster. A once innovative brands needs to switch things up to keep everything fresh.

  • I used to love Glossier. Their You perfume smells great and my favorite product from them is the Solution. Communication with their gTeam is also swift and problems are resolved quickly.

  • I enjoyed the smell of the perfume but it gave me a headache.

    Better shade ranges and less greasy products

  • I love literally every product I've used from Glossier. Highlights are YOU perfume and Balm Dot Com. Also, the bubble wrap bags they ship products in are incredibly useful.

  • The products are hit or miss. Skincare wise, I think they have really great products and the price point is reasonable. On the makeup front, I think the products are just “eh” and for this price, it should give more.

  • I am obsessed with Generation G lipstick and the Boy Brow. Would love to keep trying more products!

    Feedback

    Was not impressed with the skincare. It was very basic and didn't do anything special for my skin for the price.

  • Glossier has been a makeup staple in my closet for a few years now. Their cloud paint and boy brow have revolutionized minimal makeup! I now see several brands that try to keep the "clean," polished makeup look with a few curated products. I love their packaging and they have great customer service!

  • I have tried almost every one of their products and generally love all of them, have made many part of my daily routine.

  • One of my favorite skincare and makeup brands for years. They've had very few products that have missed. My favorite is the holy grail, Milky Jelly Cleanser.

    It's been a minute since we've seen a 'WOW' product that takes into account skincare first. Excited for the makeup but looking for a differentiator.

  • Glossier is very similar to MILK makeup imo. I'm a huge fan of the latter, so it's nice to find similar brands. It relies heavily on assuming the use already has smooth skin, since neither brand focuses on heavily pigmented items, but that's also where its strength is. The moisturizing elements of the products help it glide on flawlessly, and is super forgiving even when applied on the run. One of the best blush ranges in the market.

    Wish it wasn't online exclusive

  • Glossier’s You perfume is my absolute favorite scent. It’s my go-to perfume in the spring/summertime that has a sweet/ mild floral smell but not too overpowering. The packaging is also beautiful and the bottle is easy to hold. Can’t speak to their other products but love this one.

    Feedback

    Wish the perfume lasted longer

  • Cloud paint is my favorite item from glossier. It’s lasted me forever, blends beautifully and I love the packaging. I’m happy there’s a new CEO.

  • I really like cloud paint, but I’m not a huge fan of their skincare.

    Feedback

    I wish the products weren’t as heavily scented.

  • I have many products from Glossier and love all of them. My top 5 are: You fragrance (10/10. Get complimented on this fragrance by everyone- boys, girls, grandmas, moms, dads) boy brow( perfectly fills in my very light brows without being too much), balm dot com( I have this in 4 different tinta but the birthday cake one is my favorite- it smells delicious), concealer(perfectly covers any blemishes I have) & perfecting skin tint(blends so well into my skin I even wear it in the dead of the summer without it feeling too much)

    Feedback

    They just increased pricing, and the packages are already a bit small.

  • I love the you perfume. I get so many compliments on it and it smells different on everyone.

    Feedback

    More variety of products

  • The perfume is so nice and I always get compliments. It’s very fresh and clean smelling.

  • I have only tried the boy brown from Glossier. It works great but for the price you can easily find dupes that work just as well. I'd like to try a few of the body care products, maybe that would change my mind. Otherwise, Glossier only attracts me for the packaging and marketing.

  • The products I have ordered from there have been quality and service has been consistent. I had an issue with a faulty product (leaked during shipping) and their customer service was great.

    Feedback

    I haven’t been shopping there as much because of the steep price increases. Even before inflation. My go-to product has increased in price by $4. No thanks.
