Eyebrows are great to style, whether thin and delicate, straight or naturally bushy, like so-called soap brows. But what exactly is that and how do you get the look yourself?
In the morning, men and women could always stand in the bathroom forever, because there is plenty of beauty just for eyebrows that is just waiting to be bought and then used. Whether an eyebrow pencil to trace, fill in and emphasize the eyebrows, light eyeshadow to accentuate and highlight the eyebrows or eyebrow gel to perfectly shape the brows, your beauty cabinet could literally overflow without make-up.
Maybe he does too – but do you really need all of that or can you save a little of it in the future? We say YES, because you definitely don't need eyebrow gel if you want to recreate the trendy look of Soap Brows. We'll tell you what you need and what you need to consider.
What are soap brows?
Soap brows are, in the truest sense of the word, eyebrows that are brushed with soap and perfectly shaped, which are usually natural and thickly bushy. It might sound a bit strange at first, but it isn't at all. Even better: the styling is super easy, doesn't cost a lot and doesn't require any prior knowledge. With this look you are guaranteed to be an eye-catcher.
Which soap for soap brows?
You shouldn't just use any kind of soap for your eyebrows, because many soaps contain dyes and fragrances and they only irritate your skin unnecessarily, can cause redness and leave a white, unsightly veil on the eyebrows – and nobody really wants that.
If you rarely or never put on thick make-up, you can go for one Glycerine soap or Curd soap to grab. At best, these should come in neutral and natural colors so that there are no colored residues on the Eyebrow brush to leave. Alternatively, special "brow soaps", which you can easily get in beauty stores, are also suitable.
If, on the other hand, you put your make-up on your face rather thickly, you should do without soap brows and continue to shape your eyebrows with conventional eyebrow gel, otherwise your make-up on the face can be loosened by using soap.
How does the eyebrow look work?
Make-up artists have been using soap brows for a number of years. Her insider tip: To brush and fix the eyebrows perfectly, use soap instead Eyebrow gel, because it thickens your eyebrows even better, gives the eyebrows a better hold and makes them look fuller and more natural in general. In addition, your eyebrows won't get as hard after using soap as compared to eyebrow gel. What more could you want in beauty!
That's how it's done:
- Moisten the eyebrow brush with a little water.
- Then move the eyebrow brush up and down over the soap until the brush is completely wetted.
- Then go from bottom to top over your eyebrows and bring them into the natural shape you want.
- When the eyebrows are dry, you can use one Eyebrow pencil – with as little pressure as possible – trace the lower edge of your eyebrows.
- Small possible gaps in your fine hair can also be used with the eyebrow pencil or with a Eyebrow powder condense by painting fine, short strokes. But it is absolutely not a must!
- If you also want to put the fine hair in the limelight, you can finish with a shimmering one Eyeshadow or one Highlighter apply below the eyebrow. Your soap brows are ready!
