The formulation features ‘micro wax’ particles, which I assume are more similar to microcrystalline wax particles. The colors range from very light to very rich dark tones. Having 12 shades means that the range is quite inclusive. Next up is the Glossier Stretch Concealer, I have it here in G9, but there are a total of 12 shades which is quite generous for a ‘minimalism’ line. Product #3: Glossier Stretch Concealer $18 The shade I have here is in Brown since I prefer my brows to be in the same color range as my eyeliner to prevent stark differences. There are a total of five different shades including a clear one perfect for those with bold thick brows that want something to tame and hold. The built-in fibers help to create volume and mimic brow hairs to create a natural fuller brow. The brush tip is quite small and great to create corners and smooth edges. It has built in fibers and feels like a strong hold brow gel. Glossier advertises the Boy Brow as a ‘grooming pomade’, a brush on wax that will lengthen, build and hold. The coloring will balance out once concealer and setting powder are applied. Due to the nature of it being sheer coverage, going with a slightly darker shade will actually give the appearance of a healthier complexion.

My advice for picking out the right color for this product is to go with a shade that is a little bit darker than your actual skin tone. This often results in what know more commonly as ‘caked’ look. There are a lot of popular foundations and tinted moisturizers on the market with fast-drying formulas, sometimes TOO fast which causes the product to set in patchy bits. This provides lots of time for foundation brush’s circular motions, or beauty blending dabbing before it can set into the skin. The texture provides enough ‘give’ in terms of time for blending purposes. The tint has a fluid-like consistency, so the formula is quite runny. In the pictures provided, there are clear differences in terms of texture and coverage. The G11 shade was purchased in early 2019 and the G9 shade in late 2021. It also seems that Glossier may have tweaked the formula over the years to provide more coverage. The formula is quite light, but the product is buildable to an (almost) medium coverage. This skin tint is exceptionally light-weight and does not cause close comedones. Eventually it was discontinued and the subsequent versions performed below par. It was a serum-like consistency that had buildable medium coverage. At the time, Lancome Teint Visionnaire was my go to foundation.
The Perfecting Skin Tint was the product that I was first most intrigued by. Let’s begin today’s review with the top selling product from Glossier. Product #1: Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint $26

loving new eyeliners, collecting MAC pigments of all kinds, chasing all the latest and greatest limited editions.
At the time I was still spending frivolously on cosmetics, e.g. I eventually caved in 2017 when Glossier opened up their first pop-up store in SoHo, NYC. Over the years, influencers became a huge part of Glossier’s product marketing.
At the time I was hesitant to try their products because their products were only available online. I first learned about Glossier through social media back in 2014. Today, we will focus on a few products that I would categorize as ‘minimalism makeup’ from Glossier. Posts such as my 2021 Christmas Gift Guides are one since those don’t require real-time purchasing, but are still equally as helpful. However, I was able to find a loophole if you will. It has been a bit challenging, trying to balance the ‘minimalism mindset’ and ‘blog reviews’ are mutually exclusive. Not necessarily just ingredients, integrity and textures, but also the minimalism approach to cosmetics. In the last couple of years, I decided to change how I viewed makeup and skincare products.
