Soap brows are a new beauty trend that’s been taking over Tik Tok in a storm. Many people who have tested this technique online are raving about it. It requires just a couple of items that most people have in their home already and the look can easily last for hours or until you wash your face. This is certainly a fun new trend to try out in 2021!

How the Soap Brows Technique Works

The idea behind this technique is to get a bolder and fuller eyebrow look. Instead of using a brow gel that can sometimes make eyebrows overtly shiny or crunchy, this technique uses soap. The glycerin that’s present in soap bars is what keeps the brows set in place. Of course, it’s very important to make sure that you’re using a gentle and fragrance-free soap that your skin is used to and won’t cause any issues.

What’s Needed to Try It Out

What’s so great about this technique is that it requires two simple items to do. All one needs to try this look is a clean, small eyebrow brush and a bar of soap that doesn’t cause dryness or breakouts. Once the eyebrows are lightly covered with soap and set in place, it’s still possible to fill in the extra spaces with a brow pencil or eyeshadow, if need be, so don’t worry!

The Application Process

To get the converted soap brows, wet the eyebrow brush lightly using water, facial mist, or any type of beauty setting spray. The brush needs to be slightly damp, not drenched. The next step is to rub the brush across the bar of soap to lightly coat it. Brush the brows in smooth, upward motions, starting at the front of the eyebrows. When you get the desired results, touch up the spots that need filling-in with a brow pencil and clean up the edges of the brows!

Don’t have time to head to the salon or try out homemade beauty treatments to conceal your under-eye bags? Then a quick makeup fix can be your savior! And if you want to learn the right way of concealing the under-eye bags and circles like a professional, you’re in the right place. Read on for an expert step-by-step guide for proper under-eye makeup.

Step 1: Prep the Skin

Go for moisturizing eye creams instead of the literal makeup foundation, as it can make your under-eye appear cakey. Put a drop on a fingertip and dab it lightly along the under-eye area. This will plump the delicate skin and cover the visible veins underneath. Use a refrigerated cold roller or under-eye gels to de-puff your eyes.

Step 2: Color-Correct the Dark Circles

Use the color corrector for priming the eyes to make the concealer more effective on dark circles. A shade of a sunny color like yellow, orange, or peach can essentially neutralize the hyper-pigmented bluish dark circles when applied tactfully on the darker eye areas.

Step 3: Contour the Under-Eye Bags

Yes, you can contour your under-eyes with the help of a thicker or stiffer balm concealer. The trick here is to choose one 2-3 shades lighter than your skin tone and apply it only to the bottom of your under-eye bags. This technique creates the illusion of lifting the surrounding skin, receding any ballooned creases.

Step 4: Go for a Creamy Liquid Concealer

Skip this step if your eyes are bagless. Use a creamier liquid concealer closer to your original skin tone as the skin’s warmth softens the formula easily, making it smoother. Wait for 10 seconds after applying to make the formula stick to your skin, then tap and blend using the ring finger.

Step 5 (Optional): Apply Powder to Set

A light dusting of a translucent powder gives the final touch in concealing the creasing texture of under-eye bags. To prevent streaking, use a sponge or a brush to stamp the powder into the skin, making a smoother final appearance.
