This $12 Beauty Tool Is My Secret For Perfect Brows Every Time (2024)

Best Tweezers Overall

Tweezerman Ultra Precision Slant Tweezer

Stevi Christine, a celebrity brow artist and owner of Naturally By, has had her favorite tweezers—Tweezerman's Hand-Filed Gold Ultra Precision Slant Tweezer—for years. "They are easy to use as a consumer or a professional eyebrow artist. They don't pinch the skin, and they grab each hair from the root, ensuring proper tweezing, leaving no unwanted hair behind," she says. The artist also uses her pair to apply falsies, whether tackling individual lashes or an entire strip.

Tip: Slanted

Material: Stainless steel, Titanium

Warranty: Tweezerman has a free sharpening program

What We Love: Expert and editor-approved; Precise; Easy to use; Doesn't pinch the skin; Can be used for lashes

What We Don’t: Not as heavy-duty as other options

Review for MC: “Straight out of the box, I was impressed with how high quality these Tweezerman tweezers felt. They’re lightweight but sturdy, and the slant tip is nicely sharp—but not too sharp—and perfectly aligned to prevent pinching your skin. I have a lot of fine baby hairs that crop up around the tail of my brow and under the arch, and I could get right up against my skin to pluck them without any pinches whatsoever. These are pricier than any tweezer I’ve ever owned, but in my opinion, so worth it.” — Jenna Igneri, Freelance Beauty Writer

Best Drugstore Tweezers

Revlon Slant Tip Tweezer

When you need a new set of tweezers in a pinch, you can quickly grab this fan-favorite Revlon option at Target or your local drugstore. Don’t be fooled by their affordability—crafted from pro-level stainless steel and designed with perfectly aligned slanted tips, they’ll give you plenty of grip, accuracy, and control while tweezing. They also happen to be a favorite of DeMann's. "These tweezers are thicker with a slanted tip and not too sharp,” she says. “Lately, I’ve been loving them for coarser or longer hair that I’m trying to remove.”

Tip: Slanted

Material: Stainless steel

Warranty: None

What We Love: Expert-approved; Affordable; Not too sharp; Great tension

What We Don’t: Some reviewers note the grip lessens over time

Review for MC: “As someone who prefers to let their brows grow as they please (subtle unibrow included), I really only need tweezers for cleaning up a few stray hairs here and there. I’ve had this option from Revlon in my medicine cabinet for a few years now, and they’ve always been a solid, reliable standby. The body's grid pattern makes them easy to hold and control with no slippage, and the slanted slip expertly grabs hairs and plucks them from the root. The tension on them is not only great, but it lasts, too—my OG pair is still going strong!” - Jenna Igneri, Freelance Beauty Writer

Best Tweezers for Short Brow Hairs

Anastasia Beverly Hills Tweezers

These stainless steel tweezers from iconic brow brand Anastasia Beverly Hills never need to be sharpened and have a custom-shaped head for ultimate precision, which is key when removing pesky out-of-place hairs. Legions of glowing reviews say these are also great for coarse brow hairs and for nabbing tiny brow hairs as they pop up. "These are the best tweezers I have ever used," noted one fan. "They have a good edge and take a long time to get dull."

Tip: Slanted

Material: Stainless steel

Warranty: None

What We Love: Editor-approved; Never need to be sharpened; Good for short brow hairs

What We Don’t: More expensive than other options

Review for MC: “I’m a longtime fan of Anastasia Beverly Hills, and these tweezers don’t disappoint. Yes, they’re a bit pricier than many other tweezers on the market, but they really do have a premium feel. Their slanted tip is much sharper than other tweezers I’ve used, including pointed and needle-nose styles, providing amazing precision and control. Even so, never once have I pinched or cut myself during a tweeze session, nor experienced any breakage. Plus, I really appreciate the fact that they’ll stay sharp—great bang for my buck!” — Jenna Igneri, Freelance Beauty Writer

Best Mini Tweezers

Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezer Classic

This bite-size pair of tweezers is a best-seller for a reason: it has calibrated tension to make grabbing the finest of hairs in a second oh so easy. This top-reviewed tweezer has been hailed as "definitely the best tweezers out there," according to Amazon, so you know your brows are in good hands. In fact, Marie Claire Beauty Editor Samantha Holender considers them the only tweezers she’ll use for at-home brow maintenance, thanks to their expert ability to grab baby rogue hairs. These are also amazing at grabbing super short chin hairs.

Tip: Slanted

Material: Stainless steel

Warranty: Tweezerman has a free sharpening program

What We Love: Editor-approved; Stays sharp for a while; Great for travel

What We Don’t: Some reviewers say the grip area is too small

Review for MC: "Just like the hair on my head, my eyebrows are super fine and slippery. I struggle to get enough tension between the tweezer head and my hair to yank out stragglers—but this little set is always there to save me in a pinch. Plus, they're compact enough to throw in every bag I own." — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

Best Adornment Tweezers

HALF MAGIC Adornment Tweezers

If you like to play with face gems, nail stickers, or anything else of the sort, these are the tweezers for you. Half Magic was founded by Euphoria makeup artist Donni Davy, who is an absolute expert at intricate makeup designs. This pair was "specifically designed to grip accessories like face pearls and studs for easy and safe application around the eyes.” They can also effortlessly fit into hard-to-reach places like your inner corners and lash line.

Tip: Curved

Material: Unknown

What We Don’t: Probably won't pluck your eyebrow hair

Review for MC: “I enjoy a face gem in my inner corners or along my lower lash line from time to time, and, wow, these Half Magic tweezers are a total game-changer. If you’ve ever tried to place a face gem using your fingertips, you know the struggle—these are easy to use and have great tension, expertly grabbing the tiniest of bedazzlements. The longer, curved neck makes it easy to place them precisely where you want them. As a righty, I even used them with my left hand for the sake of journalism, and I still had total control over where I was placing the gem.” — Jenna Igneri, Freelance Beauty Writer

Best Sculpting Tweezers

Joey Healy Elite Sculpting Tweezer

Marie Claire E-Commerce Editor Julia Marzovilla swears by these tweezers to manage her brows. They have a large ergonomic grip, stay sharp, and are made of medical-grade stainless steel. Whether you’re looking to pluck away strays or completely reshape your brows, these make a great choice for the pro and novice alike.

Best Tweezer for Ingrown Hairs

Lune+Aster Point Tweezer

"Pointed tweezers are best for ingrown hairs," says Christine, who also notes that you might want to seek professional help for your ingrowns—these babies can be sharp. However, if you’re brave enough to DIY, these ultra-thin tweezers from Lune+Aster have you covered. They provide great control, and the precision tips allow you to get as close to the root as possible, allowing for easy ingrown removal. Expert tip? Christine suggests warming the brow area with a warm towel to open the follicles, which would make the removal easier and could prevent injuring the brow area. You'll also want to disinfect your tweezers before use.

Tip: Point

Material: Stainless steel

Warranty: None

What We Love: Editor-approved; Great precision and control; Grabs hair close to the root

What We Don’t: Sharp tip makes it easy to poke or cut yourself

Best Wedge Tweezers

Eyeko Tweeze It Tweezers

These unique tapered, wedge-tipped tweezers from Eyeko boast the benefits of both a point and a slanted tip. They provide great control, precision, and grip while allowing you to grab even the hardest-to-reach hairs—even ingrowns!—making them a great choice for both reshaping your brows and regular maintenance. Remember that the sharp point means you’ll need to be extra careful not to cut your skin.

Tip: Wedge

Material: Stainless steel

Warranty: None

What We Love: Editor-approved; Dual-purpose tip; Great precision

What We Don’t: Sharp tip makes it easy to poke or cut yourself

More importantly, they’re designed with ergonomic grip for great control and comfort—no sore hands after a long shaping session! Plus, the gold finish makes them feel extra luxe.

Best Round-Tip Tweezers

Rinocos Round Tip Tweezers

"Rounded tweezers are multi-purpose and can also catch the most stubborn hairs," explains makeup artist Taylar B. They’re also great if you’re prone to cutting or nicking yourself when you pluck, making them a great choice for brow novices. This ring shape in particular allows you to see the hairs you're grabbing while also preventing you from poking yourself.

Tip: Rounded

Material: Stainless steel

Warranty: None

What We Love: Rounded tip makes it easy to catch stubborn hairs; Won't poke you

What We Don’t: Using them requires a bit of a learning curve

Best Affordable Tweezers

Equate Beauty Duo Pack Tweezers

Yes, you read that price correctly—and that's the cost of two pairs of tweezers. While such a low price may initially put some off, Taylar notes that, when it comes to tweezers, expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better. "This duo-pack contains my favorite tweezers—they’re durable and get even the tiniest hairs out of the way," she says. One pair features a slanted tip for gripping thicker brow hairs when shaping and grooming, while the second flat-tipped pair is great for removing finer, barely-there hairs.

Tip: Slanted and square

Material: Stainless steel

Warranty: None

What We Love: Very affordable; Includes two different tweezers; Textured grip for added control; Expert-approved

What We Don’t: Some reviewers find them a bit small

Best Eyelash Extension Tweezers

M LASH Diamond Grip Eyelash Extensions Tweezers

Choosing tweezers for your lash extensions is a little more complicated than picking something for a simple pluck. "My favorite tweezers for doing lash extensions truly depend on the technique and style of lash we are creating," says celebrity brow and lash artist Melina Cespedes, founder of Lash Society Miami. "For classic lashes, I use old-school tweezers with a slant tip. But when I do volume lashes, I switch between L-shaped tweezers and a C-shaped tweezer. My isolating tweezer (left hand) stays the same—slim, straight, and lightweight!" This highly-rated set has all of the above.

Tip: Variety

Material: Stainless steel

Warranty: None

What We Love: Contains multiple types of tweezers; Highly rated; Multiple color options

What We Don’t: Some reviewers note that the grip varies.

Best Easily Accessible Tweezers

Trim Slant Tip Textured Grip Tweezers

DeMann is also a fan of Trim's slant tweezers, which she once picked up at a gas station—you can find them literally everywhere. Extremely affordable (they won’t set you back more than $2), this is the pair of tweezers that's been in your parent's bathroom forever and always does the trick when you spot a rogue hair. One thing we don't love, however? They're made with aluminum, not stainless steel, which makes them more prone to corroding.

Tip: Slanted

Material: Aluminum

Warranty: None

What We Love: Expert-approved; Affordable; Easy to clean; Textured grips for greater control

What We Don’t: Made with aluminum instead of stainless steel
