The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the Revlon PhotoReady Lifting Brow Gel to a panel of women aged 25-44 looking to perfect their brows.

The lowdown

The sculpting formula: Obviously if you're setting your brows in place you want a sculpted, lifted finish. But not all brow gels are created equal when it comes to a flawless finish. Thankfully our REVIEWcrew members let us know that their arches were defined, lifted and sculpted thanks to this panthenol-rich formula.

The natural-looking finish: 2026 might be 2016-coded in some ways, but we're not trying to bring back blocky brows. So, any tinted gel formula that can give us a natural-yet-polished finish is winning awards in our books. 

How lightweight the finish was: You know that crispy, crunchy feeling some brow gels leave? You're just so conscious of your brows all day that you can hardly concentrate on anything else. Thankfully for us, this lightweight, nourishing formula helps to keep your brows in place all day without the flaky, crispy finish.

Really impressed with how smoothly this goes on and the excellent, natural finish. I usually go for a more natural brow look and this gives just enough hold and colour without making my brows look stiff, too dark or crusty. It really has gives a lovely fluffy brow effect. I loved that it stayed in place all day without flaking or feeling crunchy, unlike a lot of brow gels I’ve tried before. The formula feels lightweight and it made my brows look a bit fuller too without looking unnatural. I used the Warm Medium Brown shade and it blended really nicely with my natural brown brows. A fantastic good affordable option if you want groomed, lifted brows without spending heaps of money on lamination. Will definitely keep using.

This was my first time trying anything from the PhotoReady line, and overall my thoughts are positive! The shade was great and I loved how it applied to my actual brow hair. It gives enough of a tint that it adds more coverage for me and also I loved that it didn’t get stuck the skin like most gels would do. Which is another win. I also felt that with my fine hairs the application spoolie was sufficient enough to almost lock the hairs in place straight away.

I absolutely love the Revlon PhotoReady™ Lifting Brow Gel! It truly does exactly what it claims to do. The formula is lightweight and never feels sticky or heavy on my brows, yet it keeps every hair perfectly in place all day long. I love how buildable it is because I can create either a soft natural look or a more sculpted bold brow depending on the day. The applicator makes styling super easy and evenly coats every brow hair without clumping. It also gives my brows a fuller and more lifted appearance while still looking natural. The colour blends beautifully with my brows and the finish lasts for hours without flaking. Highly recommend this product to anyone wanting easy, long-lasting brows!
