A little while ago, in the first of this two-part series on It-girl brand Glossier, I wrote a review of Glossier skincare and body products, which are — spoiler alert — almost all definitely worth the hype.

This time around, I will be reviewing Glossier’s makeup, as well as their fragrance.

One of Glossier’s mottos is “Skincare first, makeup second,” which in practice means that all of their beauty products (or at least the ones I’ve tried) are simple, easy to use, and make you look (or smell) like yourself, only “better” (i.e. fresher, glowier).

So, if you’re the type of person who likes to use full-coverage foundation, brightly colored eyeshadows, bold matte lipsticks, and complex fragrances, then Glossier’s beauty products probably aren’t what you’re looking for.

But, if you prefer a very natural, fresh-faced look that takes only a few minutes to create, then it’s probably worth it for you to check out what Glossier has to offer.

Now, without further ado, let’s jump straight into Glossier’s makeup and fragrance!

Makeup

Generation G

Generation G is Glossier’s lip color, and is also, along with Balm Dot Com, the first Glossier product that I ever bought. (See my Balm Dot Com review here.)

Generation G aims to give a sheer, diffused, matte look that is meant to mimic the look of blotted lipstick. It comes in six different shades: Cake, which the Glossier website describes as “a subtle peachy nude”; Like, “a light powdery pink”; Crush, “a hot raspberry pink”; Jam, “a deep berry magenta”; Leo, “a warm cocoa brown”; and Zip, “a poppy red.”

Each shade comes in a lightweight white plastic container (that to me, at least, looks more like the packaging for cheaper a lip balm than a lipstick), and twists up like a normal lip color. However, in spite of this, I actually find the packaging to be pretty cool and unique.
