The latest brow hack will save you having to buy new products

It works really well to be fair.

WHAAAT?

You might have thought using pencils to create curly hair was the maddest beauty trend to date but no, the latest craze is to put soap in your brows to make them thicker.

YouTube vlogger Desi Perkins is a fan of the soapy brow, so much so that she dedicated an entire video to chatting about it.

Even she acknowledges that the idea is completely off the wall, captioning the video ‘Soap Brows WTF’, but there appears to be some substance behind the idea.

It’s only Desi who’s shouting about the benefits of soap brows either as several esteemed names have got behind the idea including *drumroll* Anastasia Soare, the powerhouse behind Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Check out the ‘Soap Brows’ video posted a couple of days ago if you’re interested in trying out the trend.

Apparently, standard soap, the old-school bar you’d find in the bathroom, is the secret ingredient to thick luscious brows and I am definitely giving this particular hack a go.

Apparently, it’s an old school Hollywood makeup trick and even the Pixiwoo girls swear by it.

That it, Tuesday night plan is perfecting the ‘soap brow’.

It’s getting a huge amount of love on Instagram too with one person saying that you can use soap instead of brow gel.

Here’s more examples of the soap brow in action:
