PROS
✓Skin Tint ($30) prices below Fenty's Pro Filt'r ($38) and close to Rare Beauty's foundation ($29)
✓Boy Brow ($22) holds brow shape without stiffness. A result most brow gels fail to deliver
✓The entire range is cruelty-free with no China market sales
✓Stretch Concealer ($22) flexes with skin movement rather than cracking
✓The 2023 Sephora partnership means in-store swatching and returns are now available
✓Balm Dotcom ($16) contains no fragrance or flavor variants that cause irritation
CONS
✕Skin Tint offers only 12 shades. Very deep skin or strong red/olive undertones may not find a match
✕The entire brand is built around sheer, light coverage. Not suitable for covering acne scarring, redness, or hyperpigmentation
✕The Sephora expansion began in 2023. Fewer SKUs are stocked in-store compared to established prestige brands
✕No foundation with SPF, no primer with skin-barrier ingredients
✕Ingredient lists are not printed on the packaging. You need to visit the website to find them
✕The "Glossier You" fragrance (both the Eau de Parfum and solid perfume) currently lists Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde (Lyral), an allergen the EU banned from cosmetics in 2021 for skin-sensitization risk. This is specific to the You fragrance line, not Glossier's color-cosmetics products like Skin Tint or Boy Brow
