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 wear Glossier products on a daily basis. You typically can't go wrong, especially at this price point. My daily essentials are boy brow, their perfume called YOU, Lidstar eyeshadow, and Futuredew. I get so many compliments on the dewiness of my skin, all thanks to Futuredew!

  • branding is fun and products are good. the body hero lotion is amazing and the lip balms are really smooth.

    Feedback

    the "balm dotcom" lip balms tend to separate after a while into oil and wax.

  • I have purchased multiple products from glossier. I absolutely live by the boy brow, glossier you perfume, and balm dot com. I have recommended this brand to anyone and everyone. My husband loves having a minimal makeup option with their stretch concealer.

  • I want to love it, but sometimes I feel it is a little overhyped. The Cloud paint can be very pigmented and has stained some of my clothes, but I love the Boy Brow.

  • I absolutely love Glossier! Their milk jelly cleanser is the only one I use now, and their perfume smells amazing.

  • I've been shopping here for years! Really good for the no-makeup makeup look, and very versatile pieces. I love the mascara and boy brow - they're effective and cute while not being overpriced.

    Feedback

    I wasn't crazy about the eyeliner, because I felt like it wasn't super opaque, but that's just my personal opinion.

  • The branding is fabulous, and they have basically created a new category. I just think that there are now better options out there for a lot of the products at this pricepoint.

  • My go-to skincare and makeup for years — prices are usually $15-30 and many products have been consistently better than $50+ alternatives I’ve tried. Can’t say enough good things. Top products with a spot in my daily rotation are priming moisturizer, boy brow, cloud paint blush, generation G lipstick (+ maybe haloscope highlighter). Mileage may vary more on newer products — they didn’t become staples for me in the same way — but core bestsellers are still unbeatable. Awesome customer service and easy free returns every time too.

  • Not so great for sensitive skin, especially when you have hormonal acne and on daily tretinoin use. There’s definitely additives for scent (which smells great!) but can be irritable for some people. Be cautious and do a test patch. Works for some and not for others. Which is completely expected!

  • I love glossier’s products. The lash slick used to be my all time favorite mascara when I preferred a look that was more subtle but enhanced my features. The cloud paints are my favorites because I love their shades and they are nice when you want to use a nice, subtle makeup look. This brand is what started a lot of the clean girl makeup trends which is what has caused brands like rare beauty to succeed.

    Some of the skincare is overpriced for what you get. It isn’t really innovative and for that price there are definitely better things on the market.

  • Long time Glossier user over here. There have been very few products that I haven't liked. My favorites are: Haloscope, Cloud Paint, and Body Hero body wash.

    Feedback

    Either the Solution face wash or Futuredew made me break out - not sure which one because I bought them at the same time.

  • Overall good packaging and pretty makeup products. On the pricier side of makeup but if you like the effortless no make up makeup look, then this is for you.

    Feedback

    Packaging allows for some product to spill, especially after a long flight.

  • A few hours fiduciary are great but most are just ok

    Feedback

    Boy Brow is great color. Rest of make up isn’t great.

  • Glossier fills the gap in the beauty industry of “no makeup” makeup. Amazing brand.

  • This is an unusual circumstance but my niece is an adult with an intellectual delay, so when I look for gifts I want something that is useful for her lifestyle, but not too adolescent. These products fit the bill. They are a great gift because you can customize the set for any price point and they come nicely wrapped and feel luxurious.

  • All of Glossier's skin care products work well for me, particularly their cleanser and serums. Compared to most other skin care brands their prices are very affordable. I haven't tried too much of their makeup, but their concealer is the only one I use. I also love their packaging and stickers.

    Feedback

    I would love if they came out with more new products.

  • Love Glossier! Love the packaging, love the product, love the way it makes me feel special when I use it! Their perfume is so delicious I don't know why anyone bothers with anything else.
