Eyebrow tweezers??

Mine have completely disappeared. They were very old, so it's been years since I've bought any. What's good these days??
Thank you!

I guarantee you will not be disappointed with Rubis tweezers.

They are fantastic and I have had them for 10 years or more.

Tweezerman

I've got a fab set from Ruby & Millie. Picked them up in Boots for around the six pound mark. Perfectly slanted, good grip for even the shortest of hairs.

Tweezerman are excellent.

timidviper · 10/04/2013 15:59

I also have Ruby & Millie and find them excellent

Tweezerman. Mine are ace. Get them along with a really good magnifying mirror. You'll be shocked at the amount of previously invisible hairs! Or is that just me...

Thanks!
Slanted tip? Pointed tip? Another kind of tip (if there is one)?

I've got a couple of Tweezermans but one pair is chunkier (they were in a travel case so I keep them as back-up)
Mister Mascara pair too, not bad.
It's worth paying a bit more for GOOD tweezers.

And a good magnifying mirror definately.

I use a narrow slanted tip, IIRC pointed ones are for single very stubborn hairs (you know when you get one that is very visible under the skin but too short to grab).

Has anyone tried SHAVATA tweezers?

Thanks. Had a look at Tweezerman and Rubis. All the slanted tips seem to be the same dimensions, or am I missing something?
Hijack away Terrys! Doubt there is a pain free alternative to tweezers - it's a hell of a lot less painful that threading that I do every couple of months!

I bought Tweezerman - with the slanted tips- over 10 years ago, and they are still perfect. I balked at paying £11 or whatever they were - but they are def the best at sorting out DH's rampant brows and random ear hairs :)

Allthingspretty · 10/04/2013 17:21

Jml beauty trimmer has little attachmenrs i think that could be to do your brows

I bought some Avon ones that were on offer to take on holiday last year and have ended up using them more than any other pair - think they are £5 at the moment in current brochure.
