Good Tweezers for Shaping Eyebrows
Well, last post I shared with you why I prefer to pluck my own eyebrows, and now I’ll tell you how I think you may want to shop for and pick out the best pair of eyebrow plucking and shaping tweezers.
All tweezers were defnitely not created alike, and going on the cheap when purchasing a pair of tweezers may not be the best idea, since a cheap pair that is not specifically made for eyebrow tweezing may not even pull the hairs out firmly like you need them to.
Many tweezers I’ve tried (and subsequently thrown in the trash), were too smooth on the ends, and I would dry desperately to grab one single hair unsuccesfully until giving up in dismay, that one tiny stray hair irritating me to no end.
Well, I finally found the right pair, and I might just have to fight anyone who dares try to take these things.
They grip even the tiniest of eyebrow hairs, and don’t let them slip away at all. The pair I use now I’ve actually had for several years, they are by Revlon, and I believe they still make them, although I will say that mine work better now that the years have worn away a little of the edges, making them a little rougher, so they grip a little better.
Just be sure when shopping for tweezers to pluck your eybrows that you really examine the grip tip of the tweezers - this is what is going to give you great brows vs. overgrown brows, waiting for the hairs to get long enough to pluck!
Gentlemen:
Can you help me. I cannot find any effective eyebrow tweezers that come in a scissor grip.
The closest I have come to finding scissor tweezer is Tweezerman scissor tweezer. However, it has a thick square tip and does not properly grip onto the eyebrow hairs. Is there an effective scissor tweezer product that you would recommend.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Penny,
I know this is going to sound like a weird suggestion, but here’s my favorite, best gripping pair of eyebrow tweezers : I bought them about five years ago, and nothing can part me from them. They are a simple pair of Revlon tweezers (I hope they still sell them).
They have a simple grated metal grip on the end of them. If you spray that grip end with hair spray and let it dry, you will get a much better hold.
Like I said, unconventional but it really works for me, even on the TINY eyebrow hairs that are hard to grasp. You may need to spray them a couple times with the hairspray and let it dry. The more you use them, the better they work, honest truth. I hope this helps.
