MAKE-UP trends come and go, and recently, it’s soap brows that have got everyone talking.
Soap brows, which involve using soap instead of brow gel or wax to shape and set your eyebrows in place, go way back.

While bloggers have re-popularised the trick, soap brows, which provide similar looking results to eyebrow lamination, are an old Hollywood hack.
They’re a classic make-up artist and even drag queen technique that have been used for photoshoots throughout the years.
Using soap enables beauty fans to get really fluffy, brushed-up, editorial brows that traditional brow products alone can't quite achieve.
But one woman, who loves her soap brows, has been slammed online - with nasty keyboard warriors claiming she has 'eyebrow blindness'.
Becky Jane Boulton, a 33-year-old mum-of-two, took to social media to show off her bold brows, leaving many open-mouthed.
Alongside a clip which was shared with the caption ‘I love my brows, I don't care what anyone else thinks of them’, Becky penned: “Everyone slating soap brows and I’m just here still obsessed.”
The beauty fan gave her followers a close-up look at her fluffy eyebrows, which she styled using the Pink Honey brow glue.
The mother explained that “nothing’s budging” her eyebrows, and recognised that they’re “definitely not everybody’s cup of tea.”

Despite this, she added: “This is my way of doing them and I love them.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @beckyjaneboulton, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed a jaw-dropping 369,100 views.

But social media users were left massively divided by Becky’s eyebrows - whilst many thought they looked ‘lovely’, mean trolls were out in full force.
Not only did people accuse her of having ‘eyebrow blindness’, but savage haters said that her make-up made her look older.
One person said: “Oh gurl you got the eyebrow blindness, don’t worry we have all been there.”
I'm sorry if they cause offence to anybody but they're here to stay

Another added: “They don't suit you and make you look older.”
A third commented: “I feel like this is gonna end up being one of those things we look back on in the future with shame. Like sperm brows.”
To this, Becky replied: “Perhaps.. but for now I love it.”
Despite this, many make-up fans were eager to praise Becky’s eyebrows.

Meanwhile, someone else penned: “I don’t know why people are hating on soap brows! I love them and yours look great, so neat.”
Kate Middleton's 'Youthful' Eyebrow Trick
AMY Bates, make-up artist and founder of thebeautyrebellion.co.uk shares how Kate Middleton's beauty tricks...
Many people experience eyebrow thinning as they get older - but Kate’s have done the opposite.
The Princess opts for a fuller look, which gives her a more youthful appearance.
Amy Bates, hair stylist, make-up artist and founder of thebeautyrebellion.co.uk, says: “If you have lines and wrinkles under the eye, the right brows can draw attention away from that area and make it less noticeable.
“In her younger years, Kate’s brows were thin and heavily plucked but now they are growing back thicker.
“I imagine a specialist has helped her using a technique such as HD Brows, where the natural brows are tinted and shaped.”
And she also appears to have ditched harsher eyeliner too.
Amy says: “Kate is still wearing eyeliner but it is much softer and not too dark. She now prefers smoky brown and bronze hues, which are more flattering.
“Thick lines can make people look older and Kate understands this.”
BECKY SPEAKS OUT
Clapping back to the nasty keyboard warriors, Becky then told Fabulous: “Make-up’s our own personal choice, everybody likes different things.
“I’ve always loved eyebrows, I love that trends come and go, I've been there for all of them and this is definitely my favourite yet.
“I'm sorry if they cause offence to anybody but they're here to stay.”

Biggest beauty mistakes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do's and don'ts when it comes to beauty.
"No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you’re not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted.
"There aren’t many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime."
- Not wearing SPF: Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital.
- Using expired products: Best case, they’re ineffective and don’t deliver the results they promise, worst case they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products differ - for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months while lipstick can last for 9-18 months. Check the ‘POA’ symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and will have a number inside for how many months it’s safe once opened. If you can’t remember when you opened your product, throw it away and start again, marking the month and year with a permanent marker on the packaging.
- Not knowing your undertones: If you’re using make-up with the wrong undertones, it’ll never look natural no matter how much you blend it! An easy trick to work out whether you have cool, warm or neutral undertones is to check the veins on your wrist - if they look blue, you have cool undertones, if they’re green, you have warm and if they’re a mix you have neutral.
- Skipping heat protector: It might feel unnecessary, but much like sun damage on the skin, excess heat is the most common cause of hair damage. So, if you want shiny, healthy hair, or you’re trying to grow it longer, using a heat protection product is key.
- Not washing your face before bed: it’s as simple as this, if you’re not washing your face before you go to sleep, everything that’s been on your skin during the day is sitting there for even longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare applied on top isn’t going to be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you’re probably going to end up with dirty pillows too - yuck!
