My Thoughts On GLOSSIER | Full Face Of Glossier | Julia Adams

[@nyankyun]

What I really like about glossier is their conscious decision to not constantly launch makeup products and take their time to launch products that match their ethos (simple makeup). Unlike many of the other makeup brands sold in Sephora who seem to have a new product every month. But I do have to say a lot of their products are underwhelming aside from marketing. The ultra lip actually surprised me the most I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I do. :)

[@lilyrudy5679]

I agree with this sentiment. My understanding is that Sephora requires all brands to provide constant launches in order to get shelf space. It is a business decision to keep customers coming in for the new releases

[@M1995C]

@@lilyrudy5679 omg really... That's messed up

[@JuliaAdamsMUA]

Yes I do really love how little they launch and how well thought out each one of them are (aside from the solar paints)

[@laurencisneros1144]

I agree! I honestly prefer brands that take their time with product releases , it gives me more time to get to know the brand and the formulas of their products - unlike colourpop for example, now I do love colourpop but they come out with stuff multiple times a month it’s impossible for anyone to keep up

[@tasmiahtanjeen5548]

@@lilyrudy5679 Now it makes so much sense!

[@mariesullivan3615]

I think Glossier is sliding by because they have cult favorites like boy brow and the cloud paints (which I do love) as well as their skincare products but their new releases have been super disappointing (at least when compared to other products that are available today)

[@evasofia07]

i like ultralip, i wish they would bring back vinylic lip tho but i agree that the bronzer looks super disappointing

[@thejulietocean]

@@evasofia07 agreed! Vinylic lip is one of my very favorite makeup products.

[@shade247]

I used to view Glossier as just “expensive Vaseline”, but one day upon receiving my paycheck I decided to try out the cloud paint blush blush and boy brow. Placed my order and was I AWE by the consistency of the blush. Also, I’ve used several popular brow gels and none even hold a candle to the thickening power of boy brow. Eventually, I purchased wowder, 3 more shades of blush, and the skin tint. I’m so impressed by everything I’ve bought. :) love that everything is safe for sensitive skin and unscented, as well.

[@nyaaaa2862]

I agree!!! Everything looks so beautifully effortless

[@MisstressLola]

Juicy tip… I love that you appreciate Glossier for what it is, too. I found the brand at a time when I was trying to appreciate my skin and care for it rather than cover it all up with heavy makeup. What a pretty look, I’m for sure going to copy it!!!

[@kelly82485]

They should have used the blush formula as their bronzer the dummies lol I feel like everyone loves the blush from them!

[@ellier659]

THIS IS LITERALLY ALL WE WANTED and they let us down

[@barnes-md7mf]

It blows my mind they didn’t use the cloud paint formula.

[@kelly82485]

Right! How stupid can they be?!? 🤦‍♀️

[@evasofia07]

it would've been so easy! it's literally so simple!! but no, they had to do something 'innovative' 🙄

[@Azuul02]

Why are you all sounding so bitchy? It’s not the end of the world, they might improve the formula and maybe do them with the cloud paint one, If people come forward with it. No need to sound like it’s the biggest issue ever.

[@gmezeng]

I think the bronzer launch is extremely disappointing. With their history you’d think they’d learn about a better shade range. but the darker shad felt (once again) like an afterthought. It’s very red hued and looks more like a blush. For anyone who says that they’re a small company and have limited resources when producing/researching shades, I think you can have a smaller range that is well distributed and thought out. Take em’s recent bronzer launch. They launched four shades that weren’t all in the light tan spectrum. I think they tried to make it much more balanced. Kind of tired of glossier and their lack of care for BIPOC.

[@hpieces]

companies like juvia's place have a wide range of shades but fall under an indie brand...also glossier isnt really a small company at least not anymore

[@thegiraffereference]

I was so freakin sad when I realized it wasn’t the cloud paint formula 😫. That formula is so good, I own literally all of them because it makes the skin look so pretty, even over powder. I’ve been having a horrible time trying to blend it, it’s so patchy, whereas the cloud paints are never patchy.

[@Misshero200]

I feel like they should relaunch the bronzers with the same formula and packaging as cloud paints.

[@sarahrendon2480]

Katie Jane Hughes often uses the stretch concealer as a foundation.

[@ericka8958]

Ahhh this is so nostalgic since I first found your channel when you did that Glossier full face vid! You still had bangs then omg

[@JuliaAdamsMUA]

Thank you for supporting me for all these years 💕

[@muumol]

Ooh I remember that! I found her with the ABH palette review

[@AngelaSevilla94]

Stretch concealer has been my favorite base product since 2016. I didn’t know my brows could look good until I tried their bou brow and I didn’t know about skincare until I tried their serums. For that, I owe Glossier this life changing moment!!!

[@cev9268]

The bronzer isn’t really finger friendly but with a brush it’s amazing. I wore it last night and got complimented on my makeup by someone who doesn’t wear/like makeup lol

[@Rye_Toast]

I know, I rather love the bronzer! I dab on a dot and then blend out with a brush, so freaking easy and natural looking.

[@nicoleferreria8418]

I felt underwhelmed by the bronzers as well. I thought they would do a cream or maybe even a powder version. I still use the bronzer with a sponge and it applies nicely for me! Overall I still love glossier as a brand but similarly have not been as excited for their launches. Maybe it’s just the over saturation of different brands coming out with similar products!

[@betmenen5146]

the skin tint is my favorite foundation product ever. i hate their concealer though i have a lot of creases under my eyes and it creases too much. those bronzer are not going to work for deeper skin like it’s embarrassing 😳

[@samlab2935]

Em cosmetic & Glossier & tower28 & Milk & Kosas & Bare minéral are the best brand out there (for me) … but i really love fenty & rare too 🖤

[@TaraBrooke]

I love Glossier! Most of their products have become staples in my collection aside from their lipgloss- hate that product!

[@unhingedratqueen]

after a lot of trial and error with the glossier bronzer, i found the best way was to apply some to the back of my hand, pick it up with my brush, and then apply to the face. definitely not ideal, but that works well for me and gives a smooth application!

[@zillamandy]

Things I love about Glossier: A year ago they donated $1 million to Black Lives Matter and to Black-owned businesses. They are cruelty-free. Products I use all the time are Brow Flick, Cloud Paints in Puff, and always the lip Balm Dot Com. My favorite lip balms, I currently have three of them. What I don’t like? I’m in my 50s and while fresh, light makeup is a nice idea, I have to have makeup that actually stays on my skin. I don’t use their foundations (and from what I can see happening here, probably not their eyeshadows either). Thank you for such a great, detailed video as usual, Julia. 💕💕💕

[@thought.filledday8854]

Unfortunately, there's a lot of black workers who were not treated well by glossier and had to quit. They even have an Instagram page. They're trying to get glossier to apologize and change how they treat black workers but nothing's happened yet. So I'm not a fan of their hypocrisy

[@zillamandy]

@@thought.filledday8854 Thank you for this information, I had no idea. That’s really a shame. I’ll do more research.

[@annabellewoo5279]

Could you do an entire video on tower 28? I'm really curious on your opinion on all of the products.

[@victoriarutenburg3213]

I love almost every single Glossier makeup product, except the concealer. Other than that, almost my whole daily face is Glossier. I think the brand continues to have a cult following, but our general beauty sources on social media tend to cover newness a lot and Glossier doesn’t launch things often, so they get forgotten.

[@TaraBrooke]

My favorite way to apply this bronzer is to swipe it on the back of my hand, dip a stippling brush into it, and apply it from that.

[@JuliaAdamsMUA]

I’ll give that a try!

[@gabriellerodriguez3039]

Idk I fell out of their brand when there is still an active conversation of not paying their BIPOC workers fair wages and receiving unfair treatment from management. A dismissive HR and customer harassment on their blog and their pop-up/flagship stores.

[@itssccorrinee]

Totally agree! I think this is why the brand isn't nearly as popular and rightfully so

[@NaNaTT549]

That's ONE of the reason's why I will NEVER give them ANY of my hard earn COINS.

[@sweettarrt]

I originally found you from a glossier video and you inspired me to make my first purchase from the brand. Loved seeing your thoughts on the products now ❤️

[@gjgjgjaify]

Most of my makeup routine is glossier haha! I use stretch concealer, cloud paint, lash slick, generation G, and every now and then future dew and lidstar. The lidstar is really hard to blend and looks really chunky and patchy on the eye. It’s just the only purple shimmery eyeshadow I have but it made me realize how much I like purple!

[@batheshebabeautiful9267]

Thank you for giving me the idea to mix the foundation with another foundation so I don't have to throw it away. It's too orange and I don't need color correction, but I do like the formula (which I agree with you to use during the winter months because of dryness). Thanks for helping me save some money. Much love and blessings. Stay safe 💋 🤎🥰🙏🕊

[@arielts06]

I was hoping you would try the other 2 shades of the solar paint for a sunburned look!

[@juliejohnson6634]

The bronzer is great on bare skin! Fingers for blending has worked the best for me!

[@sarahcatgreene]

yes agree it looks great on bare skin!

[@dovelugosi]

I completely agree with you about Glossier, they're getting a bit more discreet because brands are getting into the "skincare before makeup"/natural makeup and there are a lot of new "natural makeup" brands since the lockdown. But this is still my favorite makeup brand, I'm not loving there skincare products I've not been very lucky with them.

[@kyxkyler]

This helped me a bunch when picking between the Tower28 Bronzinos and the Glossier Solar Paints. Definitely gonna go with the Tower28 bronzer. Fell in love with the gloss this summer! Hope they start making more base products

[@michelewu1695]

The highlight of my Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday’s are your videos! ❤️ Your personality is so fun and I love that you are honest about products that you don’t particularly like

[@brynndolfi]

I'm so sad you didn't like the bronzer! I have flare and love it. I thought it blended out in a similar way to cloud paint. I agree with your thoughts on glossier that many brands have emulated the effortless no-makeup-makeup products so glossier doesn't have the same hold on the industry. I'm most comfortable with a glossier style face, but find myself achieving it with clean brands like kosas and RMS.

[@lisshypiper]

The hair is looking extra precious tadayyy 😍

[@ammyammyammy]

I agree about the skywashes. I have one and it takes a lot of work to make it look good. I don't think any of them look particularly great with just the 1 sheer layer, you need to build it up a bit into something good. HOWEVER, that shade on you is like MAGIC for your eye balls! The color of your eyes just really pops against that brown. You should just wear a normal powder eyeshadow of the same shade to save on the time and effort lol

[@EllaOkam]

Ur not the only one I hadn’t heard of glossier for a long time , I had to to go directly to their infra page to keep up with their new products , still shocked they came out with bronzer I have been wishing for that so I’m excited to try it 😊😭 but I thought it would be in the cloud paint formula. The bronzer launch was disappointing tbvh but I still want to try it 🙂

[@pandemmonium]

I've seen Katie Jane Hughes use the stretch concealer as an overall base product, it turns out really natural and pretty!!

[@augustlunaonline]

If you are looking for a good lime green liquid eye shadow, try on of the eye paints from about-face! I have the lime green and it is soooooo pretty! It’s a beautiful springy/summery green!

[@meinkanta]

I love mixing the cloud paints too! Dawn and Spark are too bold for my fair complexion on their own, but I mix Dawn with Beam and Spark with Puff to make a medium orange or medium pink

[@Emma-ug6ik]

I just recently bought one of the solar paints in the shade Flare. And girl same. I had the exact same issues with it. I was super disappointed. I thought it was going to be just like the cloud paint formulation and blend in really easily and beautifully but nope.

[@ttwicecoloredd]

i absolutely love glossier 💕 i definitely love a sheer look, and i've tried so many times to use products recommended by you guys on youtube because you get me really excited about them, and even if i just use a little, it's always too much 😆it's really funny to me when folks dislike glossier because their products are too sheer when they are *the* perfect level for someone like me! i also agree that their staples are *it*. boy brow, cloud paint, lash slick, gen g, and stretch (as a foundation is truly so beautiful). i love trying new products but always, always end up going back to G. totallly understand how they aren't everyone's tastes, but thank you for being you, glossier!

[@alleyhope9817]

I really like mixing the stretch concealer with my Westman Atelier foundation stick on the base. Mostly because I bought too dark of a shade of the Westman Atelier, so I use the stretch concealer to make it a bit lighter to match. But I showed my mom, who's in mid 60s the skin tint and she fell in love with it. She used to always use the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, but it was just kinda getting aging looking. So just the tint was great. So glossier isn't just for the young kids. I like the tint because I really don't like foundation or base in general. But if I get a hint of a tan, it helps bring a bit of color life to my face to match my body so I'm not just pale ghost face. Then I always just spot conceal with Nars soft matte like usual. That's usually all I do for my base anyway.

I love Glossier a lot. Most of my daily make up is Glossier. I love the stickers to collect, and I love how they let you choose if you get the bubble packaging or not to save waste. It's frustrating that their generation g lipstick is so heavily scented because it doesn't seem like it goes with the brand. I would definitely be invested in new launches but I'm also glad they don't just launch stuff all of the time.

Glossier also stopped sending pr too so that might also be why

[@Alex_0823]

I really enjoy Glossier products but the reason I don’t purchase them as often as I would like to is because, I hate saying this, but there’s no instant gratification 😬 while I do shop for makeup online sometimes, there’s something about the ease of walking into a Sephora or an Ulta and know that the product is on hand… not to mention being able to color match and test.

I just don’t understand the concept of a “luminous bronzer.” I was hoping for a product similar to the new elf putty bronzers but a bit more creamy.

I really don't wear it often anyway but it just does nothing for me. It's not exciting at all. I really really wish they used their cloud paint formula! Same packaging and all would have been perfect! 4 matte shades too. We could mix a couple shades together like if they did a more cool tone, a neutral one and a couple warm ones. Mix to get our own color we need! Both depth and tone. I would love it so much and I think everyone else would too I'm sure! We should all write to them! Maybe they'd end up doing it since they already have it down for the blushes it's literally just making different shades! They really missed the mark on this one man!

I think a big reason why we don't see as much hype around glossier's new releases, and a decrease in hype around new releases in general, is a combination of an oversaturation of new releases from many brands, and the shift in marketing from youtube to tiktok. I'm not sure of why/if the short-form content market is truly more lucrative for marketing right now, but I think that more and more we'll see companies leaning towards tiktok influencers for PR rather than youtubers.
