Glossier arrives in the UK – Here are 7 products you need to own

At long last, the cult beauty brand is finally here

Chances are you’ve already heard of Glossier – whether you’re a super-fan or the millennial pink packaging has popped up on your Insta feed – but, until now, beauty fiends have been obliged to travel stateside to stock up on the brand’s much-vaunted products.

Ever since it launched in the US back in 2014, the New York sensation has become a cult favourite among beauty buffs thanks to its “skin first, make-up second” philosophy and collection of pared-down essentials.

At long last, one of the fastest growing brands on the market – its Manhattan showroom boasts more sales per square foot than the average Apple Store – has finally landed in the UK.

Here, we share our seven favourite products you should add to your shopping basket right now.

Boy Brow, £14

If there’s one product you should pick up, this is it. The brand’s number one best-seller for a reason, Boy Brow is a hair pomade that perfectly fluffs and defines your furrows using a teeny-tiny brush.

Available in four shades – blond, brown, black and clear – the formula doesn’t stiffen or flake and conditions your brows at the same time.

Balm Dot Com, £10

A hydrating, multipurpose lip and skin salve, this dense, waxy formula works to deal in moisture wherever you put it. Available in five flavours, original is your best bet if you’re looking to gloss over cheekbones or soothe dry skin.

Alternatively, the other shades will add a subtle tint and taste to chafed lips. Choose from Birthday (inspired by Milk Bar’s famous cake, with subtle shimmer), Rose (with a barely-there pink tint), Cherry (with a sheer, juicy red tint), Mint, and Coconut.

Mega Greens Galaxy Pack, £18

For a face mask that will leave your skin tingling and cleansed without feeling stripped, Glossier’s Mega Greens Galaxy Pack should be your go-to. Made with simple, natural ingredients like white kaolin clay, vitamin-rich leafy greens and superfruit antioxidants, it detoxifies by drawing out impurities while leaving your skin velvety smooth.

Stretch Concealer, £15

A brand that wants your skin to look like skin, its concealer is made with elastic micro waves that move with your face instead of caking on top of it. As such, it refuses to settle in fine lines, is buildable and real-looking.

Packed with nourishing oils, it also gives your skin a fresh, dewy finish that covers everything from dark circles to redness and blemishes.

Milky Jelly Cleanser, £15

This formula has been a huge hit online thanks to is ability to remove even the toughest makeup when used dry and gently cleanse the skin when used wet. Luxurious yet so simple, the Milky Jelly Cleanser is fragrance-free and won’t leave your skin feeling tight or stripped.

One of the brand’s best-sellers, it’s made with a blend of five skin conditioners and cleansing agents that are tough on impurities but safe enough to use on your eyes.

Cloud Paint, £15

The ultimate cream blush, Cloud Paint is a pillowy-gel formula designed to leave your cheeks with a beautifully sheer wash of colour. Available in four different shades, it can also be used on your lips or eyes without being too dramatic.

A word of warning here though, a little goes a long way so apply sparingly for a healthy, lit-from-within glow.

Priming Moisturiser Rich, £29

If you suffer from dry, thirsty skin then this moisturiser could make a world of difference – not only to your complexion but your make-up application too. A richer, denser version of the original Priming Moisturiser, it’s designed with an anti-redness complex and oxygenating agent that helps make your skin a smooth, dewy canvas for make-up.
