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.

  • BOY BROW, LASH SLICK AND BODY HERO BODYWASH ARE MY FAVESSSSSS! I looooove love love glossier’s marketing, packaging, and brand experience. However they have gotten lost along the way. I’ve been purchasing for 5ish years, trying out almost everything - the lipstick, cloud paint, the liquid matte eyeshadow, the moisturizer, the exfoliating bar soap, the highlighter… the list goes on. I have sworn off trying their stuff bc I do get disappointed often. However never by my two faves - boy brow and lash slick.

  • I have been using the exfoliate for years now and love it! It has made my skin clear up so much!

    My least favorite item are the balm dot coms. The formula is a little too think for me.

  • I used to love this brand but lately I feel that the quality has fallen off. Their packaging has always been cheap, which is fine, it helps keep their prices low, but the last few items I've tried feel cheap on the inside as well. Boybrow is a great product but I swear there's hardly any formula inside, it lasts me like 2 weeks only!

    Feedback

    Serum was too sticky. Eyebrow gel and mascara have too little product, they only last a couple weeks, which is especially nuts for a mascara.

  • Glossier has been the OG minimalistic brand. Their serums were the first actual serums in the skincare routine that worked and were hydrating. I still use their beauty products like skin tint, concealer, dew, bobby brow, wowder, and more. They don't make my skin breakout like the other brands and they are under the affordable category compared to the new beauty brands in the market.

    Keeping up with the market innovation

  • I've tried a good amount of glossier products. It really tends to be hit or miss for me. I think boy brow is great and their perfume is very pleasant. Their body scrub bar is also really effective. However, their body oil made me break out, their body lotion pilled up on me, and their mascara kind of sucked.

    Make things as effective as they are aesthetic.

  • I have tried various of their products. I like that their products are lightweight and provide a dewier finish. If that is not your thing then you might not like this brand.

  • I really like Glossier. My favorite products are the exfoliating bar soap (which I swear is made from crushed windshield glass and feels amazing), the Body Hero body wash is totally luxurious, and the Body Hero moisturizer. They smell nice and last a long time.

    Their price point is pushing me away from them. That and the lack of discounts unless you buy their groupings which often aren't the products I want.

  • Obsessed with the lip products. I love the product aesthetics. The quality is super high. For a non-makeup wearer, it's very approachable.

    Honestly nothing!

  • Helped me whenever I had dry skin

    Help me understand what products to use

  • I love their Boy Brow, but found the other products were mostly hype and cute packaging.

  • I use almost exclusively Glossier products. I never felt good at or enjoyed applying makeup and Glossier made it easy and natural-looking.

    Feedback

    I wish there were more sets with better discounts.

  • Used to be my favorite skincare brand but felt like it didn’t really do much for me…

  • I love glossier boy brow! And also love the packaging. I alway use the pink pouches for traveling.

    Feedback

    I've had trouble using the skincare products and have found they lead to breakouts for me specifically.

  • I really want to be a Glossier fan — I love the look and followed the founder's blog — but the products don't feel suited for my skin type. I used Boy Brow, Perfecting Skin Tint, Wowder. I have no complaints about the Boy Brow, but I wouldn't say it was any better than similar brow products. I have combination/oily skin and I felt like the Skin Tint and Wowder made my face more oily by the end of the day.

    Feedback

    It has been several years since I've used the products, and Glossier has extended its product line by a lot since then. Not sure if they offer more guidance on best products for skin types, but that would be my suggestion!

  • love some products, could live without others. i don't go to glossier for skincare except their lip balm (which is my favorite product - i have every flavor). their mascara is the perfect no-makeup mascara.

    Feedback

    their skincare products don't give off efficacy to me

  • I have only tried the concealer and I must say I love it! I was not sure the brand was "for me" but I am glad I tried it.

  • Obsessed for years and so many hero products- boy brow, lash slick and the whole body hero range!

    Feedback

    More body products!

  • Absolutely love this brand. I don't wear a ton of makeup, and love to have a quick routine so Glossier products have been the perfect balance for me! I also feel like they have the right amount of innovation... they aren't launching a ton of mediocre products frequently, instead they're launching 1 great product every so often that they really have perfected. I appreciate that a lot! Also, there perfume scent is to die for and I will not be okay if it is ever discontinued. I buy it in everything I possibly can... the perfume, the lotion, the body wash. It smells so luxurious, and lasts all day. I can't tell you how many compliments I get when wearing it.

  • Very minimalistic. Fun products to choose from. Love the mascara ans blushes.
