The verdict

What the panel makes of it.

Glossier Lip Gloss ranks fifth among AI-assessed options and earns strong buyer approval (4.4/5 across 8,822 reviews) for its glossy finish and shade selection, but the tacky formula polarizes users—some embrace the sticky wear while others report hair entanglement and discomfort, making it best suited for those who prefer a clingy gloss over a lighter feel.

Frequently asked

What buyers want to know.

  • Is the clear lip gloss worth it?r/glossier

    Buyers rate it highly overall (4.4 out of 5 across over 8,800 reviews) and praise the glossy finish above all else. The main trade-off is stickiness—some owners love how tacky it is, while others find it traps hair and feels uncomfortable.

  • Am I the only one disappointed in the lipgloss?r/glossier

    No. Buyers divide sharply on the formula's stickiness, with some finding it genuinely uncomfortable and others calling it a strength. Stickiness scores only 3.2 out of 5 compared to a 4.8 rating for shine, so dissatisfaction tends to center on how clingy the gloss feels rather than the finish itself.

  • What is this lip gloss known for?

    The glossy, glass-like finish. Buyers consistently rate the shine at 4.8 out of 5 and praise the shade range at 4.6 out of 5. The sticky formula is its defining trait—it either appeals to you or it doesn't.

  • Who is this lip gloss best for?

    People who prefer a clingy, tacky gloss that stays put and creates a plump, juicy look. If you dislike sticky formulas or worry about hair getting caught, this is not the right choice for you.

  • How does it perform on comfort and staying power?

    Buyers rate comfort at 4.5 out of 5 and staying power at 4.1 out of 5, so it performs decently on both. The stickiness complaint is less about how long it lasts and more about the tactile feel and hair-trapping during wear.
