  • Effortless, natural makeup effect

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 love glossier and have been a fan of their products since the start. I love their milky jelly cleanser and I’ve tried the other cleanser but like the jelly more. I also like their mascara for days where it just need to look super natural. I like that it doesn’t clump at all and it’s tubing. Also liked the boy brow but some other brands have excellent brow tints that might be better. I like their liquid eyeshadow and the cloud paint, however I don’t think they last all day. I did not like the concealer.

  • I have had a great experience with all the products I have used from Glossier. I think they are really great quality at an amazing price point. The user experience from all sides is great, from in-store to online.

  • Glossier epitomizes beauty, simplicity, and effectiveness. Their products, like Boy Brow and Cloud Paint, offer a natural, chic finish. While their commitment to inclusivity is admirable, a broader shade range could enhance their appeal. Overall, Glossier is a go-to for those seeking modern, easy-to-use beauty essentials.

  • I love the smell of their perfume and have the balm as well. My only issue is that it does not stick the entire day. I have to spray it multiple times to get any scent.

  • LOVE the balms and they last forever. I felt the cloud paint has great color options but no staying power.

  • Solid products (when purchased in 2021–2022) but a string of reformulations makes me wary about growing too attached to anything. I like the BDC scents; the cloud paints also last forever.

  • Amazing customer service. I made an order for a friend's birthday gift and it had shipped, but the date was a bit too far out after the birthday. I emailed customer support and they refunded me with no hassle, and as the items were already shipped they allowed me to keep the products anyway! One of the best customer service experiences I have ever experienced, and it was online!

  • Overall Glossier has a few great products - especially the boy brow. Their packaging could be more sustainable. Currently there are too many mixed materials to make for reasonable recycling. Their branding is solid, and I dig their 'take care of your skin first before make-up' philosophy. Their stores are also a special treat.

  • I love some glossier products so much. Their You perfume is one of my favorite perfumes and has been for years. Everyone I gift it to loves it. Such a good universal scent. I also love their stretch concealer. Some of the products don’t perform as well as others but I think overall they have some great stuff

  • Live and die by the boy brow. Dabble in some of the other products - but less loyal

  • I have tried essentially every Glossier product over the last decade, but I am specifically leaving this one because I have returned to using the Futuredew oil serum hybrid. I had been seeking a highlighter product without sparkle that would enhance some glow without adding shimmer, and I decided to return to Futuredew, which I hadn't used in several years. I have been so glad to add it back to my routine for the additional shine it adds to my skin — a real "from the inside out" look that makes my skin look healthy instead of winter dry and dull. I don't think it does much from a skincare perspective, which is why I dropped to 4/5 on this review, but in terms of use, I know it will stay in my routine. Even when Glossier has disappointed me with changes or quality shifts, I do continue to return to the brand again and again. Futuredew is one of the products that will keep me coming back.

  • Been a long time user of glossier products. Obsessed with all things glossier “you”! All time favorite scent.

  • I wanted to love this brand. I tried the face/body wash, the foundation and roller ball perfume. The roller ball out of the was the only one to live up to what I expected. I liked the smell and I could throw it in my gym bag. The face and body wash I am confused by. It doesn’t feel like it cleanses anything I removed the foundation before my shower and then used the face wash and there was still so much foundation left on my face I am confused on how it’s a cleanser? The foundation I did the match kit they send a million shades to try and thought I got it right but after a few applications it’s in the garbage, which is such a waste of money. I thought it would blend more with my skin but it sits on top and mid way through the day my face looks like a hot mess. For the three items I bought I was not as impressed by this brand as what I had read online. I am back to searching for a great daily face wash and foundation that doesn’t wash me out or create a skin tone that’s not mine.

  • I am a huge Glossier fan. Their products are well thought-out and beautifully packaged. My favorites are Cloud Paint, Boy Brow and Futuredew. Futuredew in particular is one of my favorite skincare products for days when I want just a bit of makeup on, and a clean dewy look. I actually mix it with a tiny bit of concealer and it creates a perfect soft look that smooths out my skin tone.

  • Love the branding and I’ve used some of the products for years. Boy Brow is the best brow product I’ve found but hate that it’s such a small tube for not a small price. Cloud paint is great and lasts forever, I especially love the shade storm for cheeks and lips. Customer service is generally good and the pink pouches are useful.

  • Futuredew is the only thing that gets me through winter, I just wish it lasted longer or came in smaller sizes!

  • It was fine. I was excited to smell 'You' on me and it didn't live up to the hype.

  • Glossier products are such a vibe. From the fun yet simple packaging to the little details, every piece is super fun and delightful. I absolutely love the Glossier You perfume and really enjoy the way it smells. After becoming a mom I wanted a fragrance that wasn't overpowering but still made me feel special. Glossier You was the perfect thing! I especially love the solid perfume as I can control how much fragrance I'm wearing.

  • SAVED MY SKIN. 1000% worth the money. If you have sensitive skin or a damaged skin barrier these are the products for you. Bonus: cruelty free and all natural skincare line 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

  • cult-fave and og grwm! This brand is one of the first DTC brands that I remember... I loved watching their "get ready with me" YouTube videos and overall aesthetic. The price point is perfect because you can try so many different products without breaking the bank and its still chic af. Favorite items I've reordered more than once: Boy Brow, Balm Dot Com, Wowder, Parfum, Lipsticks, Mascara, Stretch Concealer, Skin Tint—like I said, you get a lot for your money. Just totally adore this brand overall. Xx
