As of February 23rd, Glossier products are now available to shop at Sephora in-store and online. Glossier is known for advocating skin first, and makeup second, by creating a line of products that naturally enhance the face. As a fan of Glossier products, I’ll be sharing my personal opinion on Glossier products I have tried by listing what’s worth the purchase, and what isn’t.

Futuredew SERUM

This serum is an oil-serum hybrid meant to be applied at the end of your skincare routine or on its own as your shortcut to looking as fresh-faced as you are when you finish your skincare routine. I prefer doing just that, on its own if I want a bit of a natural glow on no-makeup days or underneath my makeup. It may not be best for oily skin, but it works well on my normal/combination skin.

Stretch concealer

I love this concealer for no-makeup makeup days. It’s light, doesn’t crease, and melts right into your skin. It applies for decent coverage and is buildable, but don’t expect to build to full coverage either. 

CLOUD PAINT

As a fan of cream or liquid blushes, I’d say that trying Glossier’s cloud paint was what started my love for them. It leaves a soft, blurred look on your cheeks. Similarly to the stretch concealer, it melts right into your skin and is buildable, although be warned that a little goes a very long way.

SOLAR PAINT

I was hesitant to try their solar paint bronzer as I had never tried a cream bronzer before, but I was impressed. It has a lightweight, whipped consistency, and is best applied with a beauty sponge. I wouldn’t call it my favorite, but it looks very natural on your skin and does the job of adding warmth to the face. 

lip gloss

As a fan of very thin and smooth lipgloss, Glossier’s lipgloss is the only gloss with a thicker consistency that I’ll accept wearing. It’s not too thick, but the pigment and shine from their glosses are great. I own both the red and holographic shades, which both work well as a lip topper or on their own.

There are plenty of other “holy grail” products such as their Boy Brow, Lash Slick, Generation G lipsticks, Ultralips, and Glossier You perfume. I have yet to try these, but I’m sure they may be worth a try. Now moving on to a product I have tried but do not recommend, which is the Perfecting Skin Tint.

This skin tint is a watery formula, which is not a bad thing, but it provides little to no coverage. While aware that is the purpose of the product, I don’t find it worth the money, as it’s set to the price of $26. There are other similar products to this that are worth the price and use, and achieve the same effect and more. If I’m looking for a low coverage base, I prefer using the Morphe Hint Hint Skin Tint. This skin tint has the ability to achieve a barely there look by simply evening skin tone, but can also be built to a medium coverage.

Hopefully this helps make your decision on what products you should turn to as a first time buyer. Enjoy your shopping!
