Tweezers are small tools used for picking up objects too small to be easily handled with the human fingers. The tool is most likely derived from tongs, pincers, or scissors-like pliers used to grab or hold hot objects since the dawn of recorded history.

Tweezers come in a variety of tip shapes and sizes. Blunt tip tweezers have a rounded end which can be used when a pointed object may get entangled, when manipulating cotton swabs, for example. Flat tip tweezers, pictured at right, have an angled tip which may be used for removing splinters. Some tweezers have a long needle-like tip which may be useful for reaching into small crevices. Triangular tip tweezers have larger, wider tips useful for gripping larger objects. Tweezers with curved tips also exist, sometimes called bent forceps.
How do you choose tweezers?
Your tweezers should be made of strong and durable metal. If you've had to replace your tweezers multiple times, they are not doing their job. A good pair of tweezers should last a very long time – potentially a lifetime. Tip: keep the protective casing for your tweezer tips + put it back on after every use.

I purchased these after losing a pair of Revlon tweezers. I really like my previous tweezers, so I thought they would be tough to replace. My Revlon tweezers were good, but these tweezers are GREAT. I was very impressed with their ability to grab and hang onto the smallest of hairs. I ended up ordering an additional pair of these for my mother and she loved them too; she said it made plucking hairs hurt less, probably because of their precision (less likely to grab other hairs and skin). You will need to take care of these as the tip appears delicate. It comes with a rubber tip protector. My only complaint is that these don't come with a little storage pouch like my previous pair. These are a little pricey, but they are a good product. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Tweezer Info
- Slant Tip Tweezers are the classic type of tweezers and are most commonly sold in stores. Best known for precision, they are mainly used to tweeze brow and facial hair. The slanted tip is perfect for easy brow grooming.
- Tweezers have become a popular staple in beauty routines thanks to the eye brow era. They come in many different colors and materials like stainless steel (our fave!). Having a solid pair of tweezers can last a lifetime if taken care of properly.
- Mini Tweezers are essential for grooming on the go. They have the same precision as regular slant tip tweezers but the mini size make them perfect for traveling.
