  • Weightless, blurring complexion finishes
  • Creamy, brightening concealer formula
  • Natural‑looking, defining brow products
  • Hydrating, glossy lip oils
  • Occasional concealer creasing under eyes
  • Inconsistent, yellow‑leaning shade undertones
  • Clumpy, flaky mascara texture
  • Premature formula separation and odor

Kosas earns strong reviews for delivering natural, skin‑improving makeup that works—standouts like Revealer Concealer and Cloud Set powder blur, brighten, and wear weightlessly—while Air Brow and Wet Lip Oil draw repeat loyalty. Reviews also flag drawbacks: occasional creasing or dryness with concealer, overly yellow undertones for some complexions, clumpy mascara, glowy finishes that can run oily, and reports of products separating or smelling “off” over time.

  • Kosas products are in line with what I’m always looking for in make up: high quality, cruelty free, and long lasting. This was my first time trying the mascara and eyeliner and I love them. The mascara applicator is shaped so that every lash gets coverage. The eyeliner goes on smoothly and neatly, and lasted all day. I would not hesitate to purchase again. I found my new favorite eyeliner and mascara.

  • I tried three products and was incredibly impressed with all of them. The brow gel shaped my arches without leaving crunchy gel cast or flaking. The blush was a lovely color, went on smoothly, and lasted all day. The lipstick in rose water was absolutely beautiful, and felt nice on the lips. I was very impressed with all of the products, especially at this price point.

  • I can only speak to the blush I've tried, but I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. I have the color "Butterflies" and based on photos, I thought it would be very glowy, but it looks pretty matte on my skin. I do have dry skin but generally still see a glow with glowy products. The color is very pretty, and I like that it's pigmented but still easy to sheer out for fairer skin tones like mine. Because of the finish I just don't find myself reaching for it.

  • Kosas is a go-to for me! The cloud set powder takes away shine while still leaving a "glow". It's not cakey, but it blurs, but it also makes me look alive - ya know what I mean? Another product from them that I wasn't expecting to love is their lip liner. It has great staying power and the shade "Mega" is my perfect "my lips, but better" shade.

  • I’m a Kosas girl through and through. The Cloud Set is my holy grail — truly my go-to powder. It gives that soft, smooth, airbrushed finish without feeling heavy or cakey. It’s the perfect balance of coverage and glow, like your skin but with a filter on it. I reach for it every day because it just works. It sets everything in place, evens out your complexion, and somehow makes you look naturally put together without trying. Verdict: Lightweight, flawless, and low-effort — exactly what I want in my makeup routine. If you want that “clean girl, but still polished” finish, Kosas Cloud Set is it.

  • This is a great treatment deodorant. I use it three times a week and it keeps bad smells away. I use it at night after my shower, letting it dry and then putting Shea butter or my basic facial moisturizer on afterwards. I don't recommend using it everyday because it would be too irritating. It has a nice smell too. Try not to rest it on the flat head or else the roller will get goopy over time.

  • I’ve been using the Kosas concealer for years now and it’s become one of the only makeup products I actually reach for consistently. I’m not great at makeup, but this one makes me feel like I know what I’m doing - it blends so easily, feels hydrating, and makes me look more awake without looking like I have anything on. If I had to nitpick, it can crease a little under my eyes if I don’t set it, but that’s about it. It’s one of those products that just makes you look instantly better with minimal effort, which is exactly what I want from a concealer.

  • The skin improving foundation is such an easy path to perfect skin! Easy application and blends in well. Suggest shopping in person to find the best match for your skin tone - I got mine at Sephora. Based on the rep's recommendations, I got a shade that's slightly lighter than what I would have picked myself, but once it blends in, it looks so natural and glowy. Only downside is that I wish the SPF were a little higher than 25. The air brow is also great - brush applicator makes it look very natural. Would try their other products as well.

  • My must have eyebrow pencil! It fills in my brows so easily that I feel like I can never make a mistake with it. I use it daily and my face feels naked if I haven’t used this to add some umph to my brows.

  • This is a lightly hydrating and lightweight concealer that can be built up if necessary. They have a great shade range so finding a color match isn’t difficult! It applies evenly and has minimal creasing throughout the day. If you have very dry under eyes you will want to use a moisturizer underneath and I find this formula layers nicely over one.

  • I have the revealer concealer and I love the texture! I do find that it is a lot of product at once to apply so you have to wait till it dries a moment to then blend in. It does have a nice consistency on the skin. I also like that the brand is “clean” and minimizes use of toxic chemicals.

  • I really really like their transparent liquid eyeshadows and so I have a lot of faith in the products I will use in the future from them. It’s natural, not cakey and good for all ages! Would recommend!

  • IF YOU WERE TO GIVE ME A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF THE KOSAS FACIAL MIST AND OF THE KOSAS TINTED SUNSCREEN I WOULD NEVER COMPLAIN AGAIN.

  • I've used a lot of different types and brands of eyebrow products in the past. I really like this gel by kosas. It coats the eyebrows filling them in and making them look fuller. I use the auburn color which is the perfect shade for me since I have dark red hair. It lasts all day. It has a smaller brush making it easier to use and less messy.

  • I don’t really care for clean beauty but Kosas is such a good brand no matter what you like. I have their baked blush in butterflies. And it’s such a flattering color. I end up wearing it practically everyday even though I have a million blushes.

  • This review is for Kosas Air Brow product, which I have been using since getting a sample with my makeup order. This product is a great option to get that brow lamination effect without committing to it permanently. I really like how it only takes one swipe of the product to achieve results, and that it’s invisible! I will be ordering a full size tube asap.

  • I bought the pressed powder and it the best! I love the shade range and the match is perfect and the powder itself is very soft. I love how it is talc free, makes me feel better to use it and it has caused any issues for my skin.

  • Love the fine face powder, it literally blurs the pores out and has a perfect colour for me. And I have 3 lip oils. I bought a fuchsia coloured lip oil twice already! Didn’t like their mascara though, I found it very clumpy to the point I couldn’t use it. And the brow gel is ok-ish. I have taupe and it turns out to darken my brows too much. See through one has cute iridescent like bottle and makes brows fluffy but not too hard.

  • i don’t spend lot money for every day items think i find just as good at drugstore. 1 that’s vital to my beauty routine esp given i’m very active, i have never found a complete match is deodorant. i’ve tried all brands & combos esp last couple yrs rise natural ones. i read review kosas new “kosasport chemistry” deodorant. so thought try & just end up bottomless pit almost new ones. i had 20% promo code so also added lip tint “kosasport” lip balm in pulse color. lot ppl seem love. with code deodorant not much more expense than store bought

  • This one of favorite brands. It gives the coverage I need for dark circles. BONUS! Kosas is a clean brand which means no chemicals or toxins for your skin.
