Tweezerman / My saviour

I love tweezers, and I hate unruly eyebrow stragglers. When I was 15 and eyebrows one hair thick were in fashion, I used to pluck my brows twice a day to make sure no hair was misbehaving. Thankfully, I came to my senses and grew my brows to their potential, but my love of tweezers has remained.

Until recently, I owned an amazing pair of tweezers from a brand called RED. I’ve had them for eight years and they’d never dulled and never failed me. But, being the clumsy tit I am, I officially lost them. And sensing this, my eyebrows grew outrageously until I had no option but to stop looking for mine and buy a new pair.

The only reputable tweezer company I had ever heard of was Tweezerman, and after being recommended the brand on Twitter I took the lunge and got a pretty pair with a case for £21.50 (or rather, my boyfriend kindly got them for me). Within five minutes of being home, I was tweezing my eyebrows into a nice clean arch.

The tweezers are really good. Extremely sharp! The angle is slightly different to my old tweezers and I caught my skin a few times which hurt, a lot, but they grip even the finest, blondest hairs with no problem. The slant to the gripping bits also ensures you can easily weed out a smooth line to your brows during reshaping, as you can work the sharp point to get the exact hair you want to pluck.

So am I a Tweezerman convert? Yes. I still need to get used to the angle of the tweezers, and I still hope my tweezers show up, but the quality of these are amazing. I know that a lot of people would never pay £20 for a pair of tweezers, and are happy to use the freebie Christmas cracker tweezers like some eyebrow peasants (no offense at all if that is you, each to our own eh?) but seeing as eyebrows frame the face and make any look complete, I think tweezers are an investment. My old ones worked out at £2.50 a year and would have served me many more years if I hadn’t lost them, and I’m sure these Tweezerman’s will do the same!

Pros:
Amazing!
Grips any hair, no matter how short or fine
Cons:Expensive
Super sharp if you nip your skin

What do you use to keep your brows primped?
