What’s a beauty bag without your favourite pair of tweezers? Whether it’s tidying up pesky brow hairs before your next appointment, giving your partner the ultimate pamper sesh or, like myself, removing the mountain of chin hairs that PCOS so graciously leaves behind, tweezers are the ‘it’ product many of us couldn’t bear to live without.
Do I need to invest in a good pair of tweezers?
Having the right pair to hand really does make the world of difference. The struggle of using bad tweezers is not to be taken lightly; not only can they cause hairs to snap rather than be removed during the plucking process, it can also be really painful.
Which brands do the best tweezers?
So, to save you having to go through the trial and error of finding a good pair of tweezers, I’ve compiled a list of the 6 best pairs for precision and effective plucking. From household names to Insta-worthy designs, I’ve got you well and truly covered.
Tweezerman Slant Tweezer
Tweezerman is a household name, and this classic slanted tip makes plucking and getting a professional-like finish effortless. Available in an array of colours, including bubblegum pink and midnight blue, I’ll always vouch for these – my pair has lasted for a good few years without any rusting.
REFY Tweezers
REFY has taken the brow world by storm with its Brow Sculpt, pomade and pencil. So it couldn’t have been more fitting for the brand to add tweezers to the mix. These are great for precise plucking, particularly for those hard-to-reach hairs. And at only £8, they’re such a steal.
Rubis Gold Classic Slant Tweezer
Who said tweezers can’t be practical and stylish? Rubis has once again proven that you can get the best of both worlds with this golden pair. They’re great for removing stray and even ingrown hairs without any snapping or irritation to the area. If you’re looking to invest in a high-quality pair that won’t break the bank, then add these to your list.
Brushworks Combination Tweezer Set
Brushworks’ set contains four tweezers for different purposes. Inside, you’ll find a slanted tweezer that is for plucking brow hairs, a straight-tipped tweezer that works wonders when applying false lashes, a pointed tip that helps to get a hold of small hairs and lastly, the multipurpose slanted-point tweezer. While there’s no harm in having one pair for all uses, this set has all your needs well and truly covered.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Tweezer
Anastasia Beverly Hills has created a game-changer of a tweezer. Made from high-quality stainless steel, this efficient, effective pair gets to the root of those hard-to-reach areas, and removes the need for tugging, for the easiest plucking process possible.
Mavala Gold Tipped Oblique Tweezers
Instead of the classic slanted, straight tweezers, Mavala’s unique clawed tip makes it easier to grip hairs without aggravating the area. This is especially great when it comes to shaping the brow and plucking those hard-to-catch areas above and underneath. They even have gold-plated tips, for an added touch of luxury.
