What Are Soap Brows? Your Step By Step Guide To Fluffy Brows

Post Image

Growing up, my eyebrows were blonde. This caused me to kind of forget about them, and they took a back seat in my beauty routine. Yet towards the end of high school, they suddenly started getting darker. On the one hand, I was excited. I finally had eyebrows! Yet on the other hand – ah! It was like growing a new body part. Suddenly I had this whole new piece of my face to learn about and take care of. Coloring, shaping, and tweezing were all totally new to me.

Because of this, I guess eyebrows are always the thing that I struggle with the most when it comes to makeup. I just always feel like I’m one step behind everyone else. But one thing that helped me tremendously was learning about soap brows. Keep on reading to learn about soap brows, my shaping sidekick.

What Are Soap Brows?

The reason you’re here today – to answer the burning question “What are soap brows?” Well, the phrase refers to both the look and the technique. This method is the perfect replacement for your brow gels and mascaras (and will last longer). The basic idea is that this method of grooming involves using a bar of soap to shape and set your eyebrows. It will give you a look similar to eyebrow lamination. And it’s a great alternative to more desperate measures such as using hairspray on your brows.

Soap brows work best on people with darker and medium or thick eyebrows. Those with thin or sparse brows can also benefit and get fluffy brows if they use an eyebrow pencil or pomade, although the soap might move the pigment around.

You can also try a syndet bar, which is a soap alternative made with synthetic surfactants. It also won’t upset your skin’s pH balance, meaning that there’s less of a chance of irritating your skin in the process. Which brings me onto our next topic – what is the best soap for soap brows?

There are a few things to look out for when buying eyebrow soap. For instance, you’ll want to make sure to use one that your skin reacts well to, especially if you have sensitive skin. You’ll also want to look for glycerin soap, which has plenty of benefits including that glycerin is a natural ingredient and that it can really help keep you moisturized. Your soap should also be unscented and uncolored.

There are plenty of eyebrow soap bars for you to choose from. For example, there’s the WBCo Soap Brows, which has the perfect packaging to be portable and sanitary. As opposed to regular soap, this is specifically designed as a leave-in product that will moisturize your skin and strengthen the hair of your eyebrows. It’s gentle yet effective which is ideal for anyone who has sensitive skin.

You can also check out Pears Glycerin Soap, which is enriched with glycerin and natural oils. And there’s also the Ownest eyebrow soap kit, which will add thickness, volume, and texture to your brows.

Soap Brows Kit Essentials Explained

We mentioned the West Barn Co company above, and we’re back at it again to talk about their Soap Brows Essentials Kit. The kit is designed to give you whatever look you desire, whether it be fluffy brows, groomed brows, or a more natural look. Calling itself the “holy trinity of brow kits”, the set includes a brow brush, brow soap, and a prep and hydrate mist.

The set’s brow brush is angled in a specific way in order to help the application process and let you style in the easiest way possible. The prep mist comes in three different scents – coconut, peppermint and watermelon. It works great in conjunction with the Soap Brows to set your look and moisten the soap bar, but can also be used as a facial mist for you to use before you apply your makeup.

And then there’s the Soap Brows. Regular soaps are by nature designed to be washed off, whereas this product is intended for leave-on use. Whereas continuous use of regular soap might eliminate natural oils from your face, Soap Brows’ ingredients will moisturize your face and make your eyebrow hair stronger. It’s gentle on the skin, and it won’t lather. Furthermore, the packaging makes it easy to carry around and easy to keep clean.

How To Do Soap Brows

Part of what makes soap brows so great is the floooofy look, how long it lasts, and how little it costs to achieve. The key to using the technique properly is to do your best to only get the soap on your eyebrows. This is because if you get some on your foundation and other makeup, you might get patchiness and fading throughout the day.

In order to achieve the perfectly groomed soap brows look, take a spoolie and dampen it with water or with a makeup setting spray. Then run it back and forth several times over your chosen soap. Start with a little product, as you can always add more after. Plus, you’ll get a better hold and be able to better control the hair placement if you apply the soap in thin layers.

Next, in order to get full and fluffy eyebrows, use the spoolie to brush up your eyebrows and then backcomb them down again. Keep repeating until you’ve achieved the desired look. And there you have it! Totally fresh, fluffy brows at your fingertips.

Conclusion

A bad brow day can really raise some eyebrows, and not in a good way. Taming and styling can be hard, especially if your brows are on the thicker and darker end of the spectrum. Maybe you’ve already tried a dozen techniques, or maybe you’re just starting out on your mission. Either way, soap brows are for you.

It seems almost too good to be true- a simple, cheap, and effective way to treat one of life’s biggest annoyances. Thank goodness this trend has taken off, as it’s been a real lifesaver in my book. With fluffy brows being the look it’s a relief to find a natural and non-expensive way to achieve them! And now that we’ve given you the lowdown, it’s time for you to try it out for yourself!
