Tweezers

Tweezers come in a variety of tip shapes. The more pointed the tip, the greater the precision.

• A slanted tip makes it easy to grip fine hairs and pluck them one at a time.
• A pointed tip is particularly good for plucking ingrown hairs or pulling out splinters. Their precision also makes these tweezers an excellent choice for nail design.
• A round tip reduces the risk of accidentally piercing your skin when plucking your eyebrows.
• A straight tip is great for applying false lashes. You can also use it to pluck your eyebrows, but it’s easy to pluck several hairs at once.
• A claw-shaped tip helps you reach what you want to grab from multiple angles.

Sometimes it’s impossible to get hold of a small splinter that’s worked its way under the skin. It’s even more difficult if you need to hold a magnifying glass or a torch in your other hand. Go for tweezers that have both a built-in light and magnifying glass to make it easier to see.
