ExcellentCatalog connected · 147 products

Revlon holds a dominant position in AI discovery for hair tools and foundational makeup staples. While heritage and editorial coverage provide a strong base, there is a clear opening to win more trend-driven Gen Z shoppers through targeted content on the Glimmer and Illuminance collections.

What we see

  • The Illuminance Skin-Caring Foundation has gained significant visibility in 'skincare-makeup hybrid' queries over the last year.
  • Reddit-based recommendations on r/MakeupAddiction are the primary driver of visibility for the ColorStay line in Gemini and ChatGPT responses.
