Why I stopped waiting for Sephora SG to stock Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation

Why I switched to the Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation

I have spent years looking for a foundation that doesn't melt off my face the moment I step out of my apartment in Jurong. When I saw the Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation blowing up on social media, I was skeptical. However, its formulation—boasting an 89% skincare base—is designed to move with your skin rather than sitting on top of it. In the 2026 beauty market, staying updated on popular products is essential if you want to find formulas that actually withstand 90% humidity.

More about shipping to Singapore

My experience with this foundation has been different from the typical heavy matte finishes we often see in local drugstores. It provides a natural, skin-like glow that actually lasts through a commute on the MRT. Since Glossier still doesn't have a physical presence in Singapore, I had to take matters into my own hands to get my shade.

Correcting the myth that Glossier is unreachable in Singapore

Many of my friends still believe that if a brand isn't at the local Sephora, it's impossible to get without paying double the price to a third-party reseller. This is a common misconception. I refuse to pay a 50% markup to a random Carousell seller when I can just shop US store sites directly. We don't have to wait for local distributors to decide we are worthy of a launch.

Check our guide on Read more: Singapore’s Sephora Drought vs. Your New Secret Weapon for the Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation to see why the local retail gap exists and how I bypass it. By using a freight forwarder, I access the same inventory as someone living in New York or Los Angeles.

My process for buying from the US Glossier store

The steps I followed are straightforward. I signed up for a tax-free US address to avoid paying US sales tax at the checkout. Glossier’s US website often has better deals and a wider shade range than any international reseller. Once my order was placed, I simply waited for the notification that my package had arrived at my US suite.

If you are new to this, here is the step-by-step guide I use to ensure my packages are handled correctly. I prefer using a parcel forwarding service because it allows me to consolidate multiple orders from different US brands into one box, which significantly lowers the total cost.

Shipping estimates for your Singapore delivery

To help you plan your budget, I have broken down the logistics of shipping a single bottle of foundation. I always use a shipping calculator before I hit the "buy" button to avoid any surprises.

I recommend checking the latest international shipping rates frequently, as fuel surcharges can fluctuate. In my case, shipping this foundation as part of a larger haul made the per-item cost very reasonable.

Avoiding shipping traps and restricted goods

Before I ship anything, I always check the prohibited items list. While foundations are generally safe, some aerosols or high-alcohol content perfumes are restricted goods that require special handling or are banned from air travel. Luckily, the Stretch Fluid Foundation is a liquid cream and does not fall into these categories.

I also keep an eye on shipping fees and GST. As of 2026, Singapore's GST applies to all imported goods, so I make sure to factor that 9% into my total landing cost. Even with the tax, I found that I saved money compared to buying from local boutiques that inflate their prices for "niche" US brands. Using comGateway has consistently been my most reliable method for getting these products to my door in Singapore within 5 to 8 business days.
