No beauty arsenal is complete without a set of tweezers.
Far more helpful than for just removing stray hairs, these beauty tools will work hard, from placing false eyelashes to removing splinters, or even creating nail art.
This grapsing instrument has been around since the beginning of recorded history - all the way back to before 3100 BC - and has a crucial function in scientific and medical practices. Made pocket-sized for the beauty community, there are good tweezers that will stand the test of time and ones you’ll have to continually replace as they become dull and tarnished.
The best of these beauty essentials will be well-aligned and calibrated to ensure control and precision during the hair removal process, while also remaining easy to hold and comfortable throughout. The slanted tips will allow you to pluck those strays around the brow and chin, tackling the hair from the root. Pointed, angled and fine tips allow you to remove tiny hairs without pinching the skin, while straight designs are better for grasping multiple hairs in a speedy fashion.
