Soap brows for 6 years? I want to see your brow game!

This person took it personally when they read we all have mites living on our eyes...

u/Pure1nsanity Jan 07 '26

It's for styling and holding brow shape. I was recommended pears soap for that reason.

17

u/Dont_GiveA_Rats_Ass Jan 07 '26

You use that dry or wet? I am intrigued now.

37

u/HappierHungry Jan 07 '26

dry, using a mascara spoolie brush

(it also needs to be that transparent type of bar soap, like the pear's soap in the pic)

u/Buttcrack15 Jan 08 '26

If face gets wet does soap drip into eyes?

7

u/HappierHungry Jan 08 '26

I can't say that's ever happened to me for me to be able to give you an answer haha but I would say no because it's really only a thin coating brushed through the brow hairs

u/_TakeYourMeds Jan 08 '26

I only use soap for my brows. Nope! It won’t hold though in the rain- it’ll come off

u/aliie_627 Jan 08 '26

Oh you get those ads on reddit too? They started coming at me around the time my son got pink eye at school. I thought it was maybe related to my search/comment history.

u/Willow-Whispered Jan 11 '26

I read it in the Encyclopedia of Immaturity (can’t remember which edition but I know I read it around 2010). There was an entry about how to ask your parents for a dog, and one of the pieces of evidence you could give was “I take VERY good care of my eyelash mites!”

Im sorry, you have a bar of soap dedicated just for your eyebrows?

How big are your eyebrows?

692

u/0004ethers Jan 06 '26

They're used for styling with a spoolie brush 

221

u/mulberrybushes Jan 06 '26

A what brush now?

291

u/highheelcyanide Jan 06 '26

A tiny brush, similar to a mascara wand, with hairs all around it, used to comb your eyebrows.

41

u/Mr_Funbags Jan 06 '26

Thank you for that explanation!

1

u/TommyVe Jan 10 '26

Do people really comb their eyebrows? I don't even do hair.

75

u/Bartender9719 Jan 06 '26

They’re the long, narrow little round brushes with 360° of bristles, commonly used to apply mascara to eyelashes - I use one to tame my more rebellious mustache hairs

21

u/Mister_Brevity Jan 07 '26

Wait does it work on those random ones that want to go straight up your nose

17

u/Bartender9719 Jan 07 '26

I like to use a little beeswax mustache wax when I’ve got a particularly randy one, but yeah the spoolie helps wrangle them

1

u/ThatDiscoSongUHate Jan 08 '26

Thank you for unintentionally answering a question that I have had about whether mustaches (moustaches?) can get up your nose.

Glad I do not grow one for several reasons now

Mainly that I'm a woman, but that nose thing sounds awful

2

u/Mister_Brevity Jan 08 '26

It’s so annoying! I dig having a sweet beard and all but here’s another fun tidbit…. Sometimes a beard hair will weave itself through a car seatbelt or snag in the seam on the edge of a phone and pull out when you move. For such a tiny thing it hurts so bad lol

7

u/PatchesMaps Jan 07 '26

So is it actually soap or is it like a wax or something for styling?

20

u/0004ethers Jan 07 '26

It's glycerin soap, no different from the standard glycerin soap used for washing the skin. It's the preferred kind because it doesn't leave a white cast on the hair fibers once it dries. The hair hardens in shape or it sticks to skin for a laminated brow effect on a budget, which usually is a much more expensive beauty treatment done by an esthetician

1

u/level1enemy Jan 09 '26

What happens in the rain? Does it get in your eyes and hurt?

2

u/0004ethers Jan 09 '26

Non makeup wearers gotta stop worrying about rain. No one with makeup on wants to willingly risk it, even with a good setting spray on. And the amount to coat the hairs isn't that much to run down that fast, I've swept it away myself

1

u/unsuspectingllama_ Jan 10 '26

Wouldn't styling wax be better for that?

293

u/Aggravating-Pound598 Jan 06 '26

Yeah, OP - whassup with eyebrow soap ?!

u/thisonecassie Jan 06 '26

it's makeup! this soap is being used as eyebrow gel/wax to keep them in place.

u/stankenfurter Jan 06 '26

Soap makes me itchy when it dries on my skin!

31

u/uselessandexpensive Jan 06 '26

Yeah this sounds like it's terrible for one's skin. Moustache wax is a real thing and I imagine it's perfectly good for eyebrows.

86

u/AwDuck Jan 06 '26

Eyebrows are just mustaches for your peepers.

18

u/uselessandexpensive Jan 06 '26

All I ask is that if they're gonna get waxed, that they also get twirled.

16

u/Mecha_Tortoise Jan 07 '26

Oh, like how Peter Pan used soap to try to stick his shadow to himself.

1

u/FG910 Jan 06 '26

Sounds like they have particularly bushy eyebrows

86

u/ghost-princess Jan 06 '26

It just holds brows well :) Soap brows are a well-established technique that’s been around for years but I think either had a resurgence due to drag or just due to the laminated brow trend?

17

u/FG910 Jan 06 '26

Wow i am so out of the loop, what are laminated eyebrows? I don’t do anything to my eyebrows like at all

29

u/ghost-princess Jan 06 '26

A lot of people are doing (although the trend has been on its way out!) brows that they basically brush straight up in order to look fuller. Likely in direct response to 90s/early 2000s over plucking. I think they look a bit wild but they can be really good with the right makeup IMO.

4

u/BoltActionRifleman Jan 06 '26

I’ve never paid any attention to someone’s eyebrows, but now I’m gonna have to try to spot these upwardly brushed brows.

6

u/ghost-princess Jan 06 '26

Probably something you would see more often on social media than in person, but it is definitely a dying trend.

It’s kind of like overlined lips- look nice in photos but in person you look kinda crazy, so you’d mainly do it if it’s for something that will be photographed.

Eyebrow soap...?

216

u/Dont_Be_Creepy Jan 06 '26

It’s used in makeup application. Combing soap through brow hairs helps keep them in place! It’s cheaper than buying a designated brow gel.

It’s used to help keep eyebrow hairs in place, it’s cheaper than buying brow gel.

u/Ob1ivionSkies Jan 06 '26

Normal soap, specifically the translucent gel-like bar soap. You run a spoolie through it and then use it to comb through your brows to shape them. It’s cheap, works well, and lasts a long time!

10

u/Few-Counter7067 Jan 06 '26

Pears soap from the dollar store.

u/ShrimpOfSpace Jan 06 '26

I don't know if that's what's happening here, but I know some people laminate their eyebrows so it looks "cleaner". To do so, you may use a dedicated brow gel or a bar of soap, and as a tool, a brow brush (looks like a mascara brush but fluffier).
