Glossier is the brand we've grown up with, one of our first Insta crushes, with products we want to photograph, post and slather across our skin, body and brows. They're also proof that great formulas don’t have to come with a hefty price tag. It’s no wonder that nearly every new launch becomes a viral sensation, steadily growing our list of must-have Glossier products.
Founded in 2015 by Emily Weiss, Glossier was born not from a boardroom, but from a beauty community. Its formulas were shaped with input from readers of Into The Gloss, Weiss’s cult-favourite website, making the brand feel personal from the start. The millennial pink packaging became an instant lesson in modern branding, while each blush, mascara, and brow gel offered an easy, skin-first approach to makeup.
If you’re yet to experience the magic of Glossier or want a refresher on all their best products, consider this your ultimate guide. We’ve rounded up the best Glossier products that GLAMOUR editors swear by - from skincare staples like the Milky Jelly Cleanser to makeup icons like Boy Brow, and even home essentials like the Glossier You scented candle, inspired by the fragrance that has zillennials hooked.

And if you’re in the market for something new, allow us to introduce you to Glossier’s latest recruit: Fleur, an airy and luminous floral perfume that’s sure to be your next obsession.
Like Glossier’s other beloved fragrances, Fleur is designed to be a personal skin-scent enhancer, with warm musky base notes that adapt to each wearer. “Glossier You Fleur is perhaps my favourite of all the impressions of You yet, it's our take on a floral," Weiss tells GLAMOUR in an exclusive interview.
“It all started from me saying ‘I don’t like florals’, and then our head of product said ‘I don’t like them either’ and suddenly we were all on a quest to make a cool-girl floral that’s not too flowery." Mission accomplished. Fleur is delicate and pretty, yet effortlessly edgy. “It has this salty, mineral-y top note that makes it feel really raw,” says Weiss, striking the perfect balance between softness and strength.

I’m not a huge fan of trad florals and it turns out Emily Weiss founder of Glossier isn’t either, which was the inspiration behind the new scent You Fleur. It’s billed as a modern, city floral with a clean edge, thanks to the salty mineral top notes and soft apricot skin accord blended with warm radiant notes of Osmanthus and Ylang Ylang. Plus the musky ambrox base of Glossier’s iconic You fragrance. It’s soft and luminous, so it's an easy daytime wear, and it’s my new fragrance go-to for sunny Spring days. - Camilla Kay, GLAMOUR'S Executive Editor
I’m in my lip liner era thanks to these Lip Line Enhancing Pencils. They are an easy way to shape and define lips and make the perfect all-over base before adding a balm on top for a natural but polished finish. I keep a couple of shades in my makeup bag (Hold and Grip ) so I always have the option to go lighter or darker. - Camilla Kay, GLAMOUR's Executive Editor
I’m a liquid blush convert. For me it’s the most natural, healthy-looking way to perk my cheeks up and Glossier’s Cloud Paint is the OG and still the best. A teensy amount goes a long way and the shade range is beautiful – there’s something for everyone. I personally don’t like to match my blush colour to the shade I would actually flush. Coral-y coloured Dawn helps my complexion feel lifted and it works really harmoniously with the bronzy shades I like to sketch across my eyes and cheekbones, too. - Elle Turner, GLAMOUR's Senior Beauty Editor
From the moment I tried Glossier Boy Brow it became a hero of my everyday makeup bag. As a fair haired girly I have always needed a little help with brow definition but have always favoured a low maintenance approach, especially on weekday mornings. Boy Brow is the perfect solution, a couple of quick swipes just before I run out the door is all I need to give subtle definition and tame stray hairs. I tend to switch between the clear and blonde shades depending on how much definition I want but both are great for a subtle look with no stickiness or crunch. - Eilidh Willamson, GLAMOUR'S European Design Director
I’m fussy with mascara – and I’ve been firmly attached to a certain, TikTok-viral formula for the longest time. But when Glossier Lask Slick landed on my desk recently, my team couldn’t quite believe I’d never tried it. Testing it once couldn’t hurt, I thought – so I took it home and slathered my lashes in it before a dinner with the girls. I’ve been using it almost every day since. The wand’s teeny-tiny fibres coat every lash from root to tip – and the lift it offers me (particularly when I use my Glossier eyelash curlers beforehand) is unrivalled. Most of all? I love how weightless it feels. My lashes don’t go clumpy and I don’t actually feel as though I’m wearing mascara at all. Next on my wishlist? The brown version. - Sophie Cockett, GLAMOUR's Senior European Commerce Editor
There’s a reason Glossier You is a classic. I’ve been a fan for years, and it never disappoints. Described as a ‘skin-scent enhancer,’ it’s perfect because it adapts to each person’s unique scent, so you’re never smelling like anyone else. It’s the perfect balance of fresh and warm, with a comforting, subtle allure. Plus, it always gets compliments - especially from my boyfriend, who loves it. I’m looking forward to trying the new You Fleur scent as I’ve heard amazing things, but I’m not sure anything can top the original. - Emily Whitwam, GLAMOUR's Associate Manager, Social Media
Cakey concealer is not a look - no one wants concealer which settles into the fine lines and pores of their face. That's why this concealer is so special. The formula is lightweight and dewy which means it never cakes up, and for light coverage for your Zoom meetings over lockdown, there really is no better. I use it to reduce redness around my nose, as an eyeshadow primer, under my eyes to conceal dark circles and on any pesky blemishes that appear. - Sophie Cockett, GLAMOUR's Senior European Commerce Editor
This bronzer has the ability to make my skin look like it's actually been kissed by the sun. The doe foot applicator allows me to apply the product exactly where I want it, so I can simultaneously use it to carve out my cheekbones a bit too. My favourite part, though, has to be the subtle luminosity it gives from the light-reflecting pearls. - Georgia Trodd, GLAMOUR's Senior Commerce Writer
It's ultra gentle and fragrance free, and the light, jelly texture slips on easily and melts away makeup. It's gentle enough to use on eyes, although you may need a little makeup remover help on very tough mascara, and it's pH balanced so doesn't leave your skin feeling tight and stripped. - Elle Turner, GLAMOUR's Senior Beauty Editor
Vegan and ultra-nourishing, the After Baume is Glossier's thickest, most occlusive moisturiser - formulated for very dry and/or sensitive skin. Dryness, be done. Think of it as a puffer jacket for your skin: a moisture barrier recovery cream which protects your complexion after exposure to cold weather, harsh sun or exfoliation. Need proof? In a Clinical Corneometer Hydration Test (a method of measuring the average hydration levels of the outer layers of skin), skin hydration increased 171% compared to baseline immediately after application, 157% after 12 hours, and 53% after 24 hours. Impressive, huh?
One of Glossier's top-rated products is their Super Bounce serum, a Hyaluronic Acid-infused serum which creates a soft, hydrated and non-sticky canvas for your makeup. Fast absorbing and designed to layer beneath foundation and moisturiser, it boasts three molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid which pull moisture deep into the skin (and keep it there) to instantly smooth the skin’s surface. It also contains Pro-Vitamin B5 which promotes long-term hydration and healthy looking skin.

This lightweight SPF50 water-gel formula feels like a serum but protects your skin from sun damage and UV rays. The transparent formula means there is no greasy residue and no white cast on darker skin tones, and it instantly absorbs onto the skin. It plays well with makeup, smells divine, is vegan, cruelty-free and breathable.
