Check out everything you need to know about soap brows below, as well as how to do them and more interesting facts about the most popular technique of recent times.
Soap brows: what is it?
The term “soap brows” has been appearing heavily in all types of popular makeup tutorials in the country. Influencers, for example, quickly took hold of the technique after realizing its growing success and simplicity. The literal translation into Portuguese varies between “soap eyebrows” and “soap eyebrows”, but the rule is clear about which product needs to be used to achieve the look.
The effect that soap brows offer is a natural, voluminous and fluffy eyebrow appearance. Its practice consists of using a bar of soap, usually made from glycerin, to straighten the eyebrows. This is done with a small makeup brush, one of the simplest makeup brushes, like an eyelash brush, for example. This way, it is possible to say that the technique has no secrets and anyone can do it, as it is cheap and economical.
Benefits of soap brows
One of the biggest benefits of soap brows is the fact that any eyebrow shape ends up benefiting from the technique. Even though fuller eyebrows are simpler to style and maintain, there are still many tricks for any other type. Stronger products to keep them in place, for example, are a good option.
Plus, soap brows last all day. Soap helps hold hair in place for a long time, and touching it up can be very simple. However, you will need to pay attention to the weather conditions of the day or the oiliness of your skin. Very hot places or very oily skin will make the effect last less, as the soap will gradually melt. Therefore, a great option is to choose products that last longer on the skin and are drier, such as pastes, in this case, glycerin soap.
Other soap brow formats
For those who don’t trust the power of soap, there are other alternatives that offer the same effect, products designed to achieve the effect of soap brows and use them without fear. Makeup artist to the stars Patrick Ta, for example, has a specific kit for the task, which includes wax and brush. You can choose between two types of wax: the lighter one, for blonde and red hair, and the darker one, for dark hair. The recommendation is to always use the wax wet to ensure the perfect look.
How to make?
There is no secret to making your soap brows yourself. First of all, comb your eyebrows upwards, leaving them raised. Then, correct any flaws, if necessary, but not before combing your eyebrows well. Finally, comb again with the chosen product, be it glycerin soap, hair gel or a specific product to achieve the effect. Because glycerin soap is the simplest to find, the option is the most valuable, practical and economical.
