Best tweezers: our pick of high precision tweezers for eyebrow plucking and removing in-grown hairs

TWEEZERS have definitely earned its place among beauty bag essentials, so finding the best performing pair is a must.

They can be used for anything from fixing up your eyebrows and applying false eyelashes, to removing an ingrown hair or splinter, and we have found the best tweezers for every category.

Granted, tweezers aren’t a beauty purchase we usually spend too much time thinking about, but we would 100 per cent be lost without them.

However, we’ve all made the mistake of purchasing a cheap pair once in our lives, right? Big mistake. Investing that little bit extra in a tool that you use every day will definitely make a difference.

Poor quality models lack grip and precision, or just don’t do the job right, breaking hairs instead of removing them from the root, it’s best to avoid those 99p pairs you find.

Luckily, there are plenty of good pairs out there which promise to remove all your unwanted hairs with ease – we’ve rounded them up here:
