Welcome to the age of Glossier! Through the years, we’ve noticed this brand reign supreme, so much so that not knowing what the infamous Cloud Paints are makes any beauty enthusiast stare at you with a mouth agape in shock. With good reason!
These easy-to-use products are beginner friendly, but just as excellent for advanced, professional-level use—no wonder we can’t get enough! However, with all their great products available, it’s hard not to lug around their entire repertoire of product line at all times. So, to help all us beauty nerds narrow down our Glossier Go-To’s, here’s a list of recommendations and when to use them.
For Quick Trips To The Store
On days I don’t feel like spending one hour doing my makeup for a 15-minute trip to the grocery store, I find that simply curling my lashes and applying a coat of mascara is enough to look put together.
The Glossier Lash Slick is perfect for enhancing what your momma gave you and then some; it lightly coats your lashes for a thicker, more lifted appearance without any trace of clumps! Lengthen and feather out your lashes while strengthening the strands over time with the vegan biotin-infused formulation.
For Days You’re Running Late
Not all of us are blessed with the woke-up-like-this morning flush. Sometimes, we have to fake it! For those that need that extra pop of life but don’t have a lot of time to freshen up, the Glossier Cloud Paint is an absolute essential.
To be radiant and ready to face your day, pat this on and go from sleepless zombie to fresh-faced zom-bae in a jiffy! The formulation is creamy and buildable, making it easy to go as sheer or as bold as you like. A little definitely goes a long way, so you’re sure to get a bang for your buck in each tube.
For Warm, Oily Days
Some days, the Philippine heat makes wearing makeup extra cumbersome. It’s a lot harder to layer on makeup with the fear of it melting all off by noon at the back of your mind, but Glossier’s Wowder does wonders in soothing your oil-breaking worries.
Stay confidently matte while minimizing the appearance of pores without feeling cakey! Aside from this, the packaging is absolutely GENIUS; the mesh built in makes sure you get only what you need, minimizing mess and making sure you don’t waste product.
For First Dates
You know what they say: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” What better way to make jaws drop at first sight than with beautiful glowing skin? Glossier’s Haloscope does wonders for creating a subtle dewy shine, essential for creating that drool-inducing, fresh-out-of-Krispy-Kreme glaze!
Its oil-core not only creates a healthy glow but gives moisture to the skin as well. With a little Haloscope on, your second date is practically in the bag. You’re welcome.
For Dry Skin Days
This product is a certified Calyxta Crew favorite. There’s just so much you can do with it! Aside from being a lip balm, the Balm Dotcom is excellent for soothing dry skin, itchy patches, and moisturizing cuticles.
If you want a light highlight, you can pat some of this on the high points of your face as well. But personally, this product is a lifesaver for those with perpetually dry lips and natural mosquito-attractive skin—oh the woes of living in a warm, tropical country!
For Chilling With Your Friends
Glossier’s Generation G is the perfect lippie for days where you don’t quite want glam, but don’t want simple either. It’s the kind of lipstick that you know won’t ruin your look even if you’ve haphazardly applied it without a mirror—or on the back of a spoon after brunch!
So, whether you’re applying it fresh or reapplying after chomping on popcorn and chugging milk tea, you can count on this sheer lippie to always get the job done. While the pigment does come off more like a stain, you can build it up as much as you like while still maintaining its matte finish.
