We need to talk about Glossier Cloud Paint in Haze: Review + Price + Swatch

I went the extra mile and spent my extra cash for this "awesome" cheek tint by Glossier. Here's what I think about it.


Here's a review on Glossier Cloud Paint in Haze.

PRICE: 18USD (Approximately P900.00)
FROM: Glossier.com
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available through local resellers

 THE VERDICT:

Like any diligent Beauty Blogger, I give in to reader requests and beauty product hypes all for the love of reporting what's hot and what's not in the world of makeup. Such as the case of the "holy grail" Glossier Cloud Paint. Even if it's mighty expensive for a cheek tint, I bought it anyway because hey, a tropical gal like me can always use cheek tints.

Talk me into it, will 'ya. What's so great about this thing?


Glossier Cloud Paint is dubbed as a gel-cream cheek tint that's designed to be user- friendly, seamless, sheer, and buildable. Formula features Collagen and blurring powder pigments in a hypoallergenic, dermatologist- tested, paraben, fragrance, and cruelty- free formula. It comes in 4 shades.

Ingredients

 Product comes in a box with a transparent packaging.

Haze is one of the popular shades, especially among Filipinas who I know own this product. It's a deep berry shade that is perfect for warm skin like mine. It's like I had a choice between the shades-3 out of 4 look insanely light for my skin tone.

Texture is bouncy and hydrating. It is unscented too. The packaging isn't the best for the formula as I always find myself squirting out more than I intend to get no matter how I control my squeezing.

Another thing to note is it stains the fingers big time and it takes a couple of washes before they come off. Don't worry, they don't last for more than a day.

Let me start with the good side: the product is indeed seamless and easy to apply. Also, it can be used on top of makeup with little fading of the layers. Staying power is okay too.

Now onto the bad side: the photo shows my cheek after I layered the product three times. Literally no coverage, just a faint touch of pink, which my cheaper cheek tints can give.

I've tried using this product many ways: I applied around 5 layers continuously and waited 1 minute in between before applying the succeeding layers. I applied it over makeup. I swiped it across and dabbed it on. But nothing seems to work for me here: the cheek tint still looked faint. It's faint that I prefer applying it over makeup for me to at least see that my 900 pesos didn't go down the drain. I know that the product said it's sheer, but I didn't expect it to be THIS sheer, plus the advertising collaterals showed the product to be pigmented.

I applied it on the lips and it worked okay. Nothing magical about it though.

I think Glossier Cloud Paint is best for those with fair to medium skin tones as I find the tint lacking in pigmentation or anything that makes the pigment adhere to the skin. I sold my tube. At least something good came out of it!

No, I won't recommend this product. Best to check out the other makeup products of Glossier.

Here are other cheek tints that you're better off spending P900.00 on:

1. Etude House Water Color Blusher- P348.00
2. Colourette Colourtint- P229.00
3. Smink Beauty Cheek Tint- P150.00
4. Tony Moly Liptone Get It Tint- P478.00
5. Ellana Lip and Cheek Tint- P220.00

  1. Such an honest and informative review. I love the fact that you really voiced out your opinion on this. You also suggested other alternatives we could spend the 900 PhP on, which is a big help especially for people like me who are always on the lookout for affordable products because of my tight budget as a student. Thank you so much for this, Ms. Martha!

  5. Hi Ms. Martha. I had the Ellana Lip and Cheek tint and I must say I super loved it. A little goes a long way and it's super pigmented. More hygienic kasi with pump yun tint. More than a year na pero di pa ubos. Super duper worth it ang 220.00 pesos.
    Love reading your blog as always. Straight to the point ang reviews.
    More power and God bless always Ms. Martha!!!��

  7. Wow! Thank you for this honest review. You saved an arm and a leg of those people who are considering getting this. I like that you have suggestions which are more affordable and better as well. Maybe they should consider making one for those for ladies with morena skin

  8. For the price, I was expecting something spectacular, especially since cheek tints are pretty inexpensive. The packaging looks great, tho. Haha :D

  12. Colourette Colourtints are really bomb, highly raved and very cheap! Shades like Thalia and Naomi are mostly out of stock but it's really worth checking out!
    Thanks for sharing other better options Ms. Martha! You really provide honest-to-goodness reviews of stuffs. :)

  15. I've seen a lot of youtuber go gaga about this Glossier, I was so close to purchasing one but I just can't seem to go for it. I need to make sure that my money will be worth the product not just the hype. So thanks for the review. And i think with cheek tint the Etude house one seems to have a lot of good review. I might purchase that instead of this :)
