  • Widely loved by brow gel users

What they flagged

  • May not fill sparse brows enough on its own

What the gurus are saying

This one-and-done tinted brow gel is a top choice for those with straightforward brow needs, but it falls short for anyone seeking more definition or filling. Reviewers who prefer tinted gels and don't need additional precision keep it as a top product, but those with more complex brow shapes may find they need additional products to complete their brow look.

"For the brow gel I always go in with the brow gel that adds volume to my brows because I need to do two things when I create a brow: I need to create the shape with a pencil, but then I need to create the fluff and the look of natural hair with the brow gel. This is the Benefit Gimme Brow, it's one of the best. [...] I've used this forever, maybe since high school, and [...] I'll just go in there and add a little bit of volume to my brows with this. [...] It's good, you'll really love it."

I Tried The READERS' CHOICE WINNERS... Allure 2023
"Everybody is obsessed with this brow gel. I'm not somebody who uses tinted brow gels that much, but every time I ask you guys what you love or every time I do these types of videos, the Benefit Gimme Brow is everywhere. I've just never hopped on board because I just feel like I go for clear brow gels way more, actually 100 of the time more than a tinted one. I am going to take a little bit of the shade one just for the front of the brow so that it doesn't feel too over the top for me."

"I'm gonna fill my brows today with the Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel from Benefit in the shade four."

"I really do think it's a good product, it's just that I don't really use tinted brow gels like this. I just personally like a little bit more of a precise brow look. With my brow shape and size, I can't just use a gel, it just doesn't work for me. From what I understand, the reason people like this is because it's supposed to be a one-and-one product, but for me it's just not a done product. I can't complete my brow look with just this. I need more filling in."
✓Yay
"This is my favorite trick. Shade number six is almost like Black, but when I use this it makes my eyebrows look much more dimensional. So I just go through them when my brows are still wet with the brow gel and you see the difference. I'm taking my time so that I don't get any product on my skin. [...] I've got really sparse areas that I need to fill in, but I actually like that it's not too strong. I think if I did it too heavy and too dark it would not look very good."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
