- You can't tell me these brows aren't frozen.
These are stuck!

- Hi, I'm Spenser, and today we're going
to be trying cheap versus expensive brow products.
- So there's a few viral brow hacks that come around.
I feel like every few months, there's a different trend.
And lately there's been a lot of different gels,
there's soap brows, there's like, wax.
- I think because of the pandemic,
eyebrows are way more important than they used to be.
Because like half of your face is covered up.
You know, when you're only like this half the time,
I want this to be like, extraordinary.
- I don't like my eyebrows to be super thin,
they're on the thinner side at the moment.
Usually I'm just filling in my brows with a pencil
and then pushing up my natural hairs with a brow gel.
- I use a lot of like, face razors.
Usually I just brush them up with some brow gel.
I use the NYX Brow Glue, which is pretty good,
but it doesn't hold all day.
- Normally I use a pencil and just feather
fake eyebrow hairs into my eyebrows.
My dream eyebrows would be luscious and thick.
- The laminated look is so in right now,
and I feel like my dream would be for them
to be standing up like, as straight as possible.
- I'm a discount girl.
If the soap brows work,
what have I been spending my money on this whole time?
Let's go see what the hype is all about.

- [Julianna] This is the Rodan & Fields one.
- It almost looks a little futuristic.
- It is tapered, so that's definitely
going to help with the definition of it.
- And it says it's in the shade medium,
so I guess it has some color in it.
- Medium is brown.
I would have gone for a black.
I don't know how it's going to show up on my eyebrows.
- It was $112! (laughing and wheezing)
- $100 and...
- She's expensive!
(upbeat electronic music)
- Brush, brush, brush it up.
Oh! - This is definitely thicker.
Like, the hairs are in the same place,
but like the colored product kind of got on the top.
- I don't really feel anything happening here.
I don't really see anything happening either.
Is it filling in gaps that I have?
Does it?
So it says it has fibers.
- It is definitely lighter.
This is not the fault of Rodan & Fields,
I should have just received a different color.
But I will say, it doesn't look terrible.
It looks like I have lighter brows and darker hair,
as if I like, dyed my hair.
- I had to pump it a lot to get enough coverage out.
It doesn't have like, that stiff feeling that some gels do.
Like it feels like my brows still feel soft.
- This is adding a tint to my brows.
I prefer a product that feels like
it's holding on a little bit more.
It's not acting as a gel and like, holding the hairs up.
A little messy, you got to clean it up.
But my eyebrows look great.
Does it do what I normally want?
No, it doesn't really push up my brow hairs.
- I can see the color deposit and it's gentle,
it does look natural, and that is my thing.
And I do like it, I just wish it was in black.
- [Julianna] It's just kind of like a thicker,
more natural brow.
- The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze styling wax.
People swear by this product.
The first time I tried it,
shook is really the only word.
- Well, it looks like glue, almost.
The consistency is very sticky.
- It's more of a wax consistency.
- I have natural hair.
It's kind of funny, I'm looking at this
and I'm like, this is edge control.
- You want to start small.
So I like to bend my spoolie like this,
and I'm really just like, lightly coating.
- Let's try this brow again.
- Up, up, and away!
I'm trying to do this gently.
I feel it getting and staying in place.
- Well, some people don't like this look of the eyebrows.
This is that laminated look of eyebrows.
And this product really just delivers.
- I feel like this is definitely
more of my personal style at the moment.
This has such a hold to it
that they're already stuck in place.
- I could have put a lot less of the Brow Freeze on here,
because look at how much is left,
and this brow's basically done.
See, this is why I normally use like, a pencil or something,
'cause I would love to fill this in a bit more.
- Personally, I think that this product
is a little hard to use with other products.
What this product does with such
a little amount is wild to me.
- I don't know if I pull it off.
I feel very like couture runway brow.
Okay, I think I do like them,
because I can't stop staring at myself.
- If you want your eyebrows to look super duper natural,
I do feel like this is a great way
to make them really natural and also have them not move.
These babies are not going nowhere!

From Neutrogena, it's a transparent facial bar.
- You want a transparent bar of soap
that has glycerin in it.
If you look at the ingredients,
you want to see the word glycerin.
That will help the eyebrows stay up.
It'll help the products stick.
- This is definitely the biggest trend version of this.
I think everyone's seen this on like, Instagram and Tiktok.
- You're going to use a setting spray.
Start rubbing my spoolie on the soap.
It's a little bit more like, goopy than anything.
It's not lathering.
- Apparently like, celebrity makeup artists
and hairstylists had been using this hack for a while.
This is all of it.
It's working.
It's kind of feels like the Anastasia Freeze.
- So this definitely has that higher look to it.
It's like a tiny bit of white cast with this,
which might be just the kind of soap I have.
- Wow, this is pretty great, look at that!
So similar, but almost like,
a little less intense than the Brow Freeze.
- Wow, I'm impressed! (laughing)
I just wonder like, how long does this last?
The Brow Freeze from Anastasia,
like, that's never coming off.
- This definitely looks the most natural
and the most similar to what I do every day.
Just kind of like, a little bit of a lift.
Soap definitely achieves the look for less.
- Wow, okay!
Easy to use, easy to mold around.
Look at that!
- I definitely feel like I have the laminated brow effect,
which is like, my favorite effect.
I really like it, wow!
Wow.
- I think that they all did something.
I think that the Rodan & Fields was maybe
my least favorite for the price.
It needs be doing a lot more for me.
- It's a little bit of a different criteria,
because you're using different colors
and different shades for the brows.
A great product nonetheless.
- The Anastasia Brow Freeze might have been my favorite one,
just because it has like, a dual purpose for me,
popping brows and popping baby hairs?
Anastasia was a definite win for me.
- If you want to go for the laminated look,
you can't go wrong with the Brow Freeze or the soap brows.
I'm still shocked that my eyebrows
look like this using soap.
- I had a really good time.
I'm definitely going to be using this again.
I highly recommend the Brow Freeze.
I'm going to put it back on and wear it today. (giggles)
