Tweezers Can Make or Break Your Brow Routine—These 8 Eclipse All Others
Trust us.
In my time as a beauty editor, I've noticed that it's the small and so-called mundane products and tools that make the biggest difference in my beauty routine. Having a superior pair of tweezers is one such example, as not all tweezers are created equal. If you've ever had tweezers rust—bleh—or had difficulty grasping and eradicating errant hair, potentially leading to irritation or ingrown hairs, you know what I'm talking about.
Investing in top-notch tweezers will lessen your chances of pesky side effects like ingrown hairs and make your overall grooming and tweezing process easier. Like most beauty products, there is a definite hierarchy when it comes to tweezers. And because we're fanatical about zeroing in on the best of the best when it comes to literally anything and everything beauty related, I curated a list of the 8 best tweezers money can buy. Plus, because we're especially brow-obsessed here at Who What Wear, I threw in some additional brow-perfecting products at the end of the article. Looking for flawless brows? Keep scrolling, and you'll be on your way.

The Best Tweezers of 2025
1. Best Overall Tweezers: Tweezerman Slant Tweezer
Tweezerman's Slant Tweezer is a classic. Nearly every beauty editor I spoke to included it as a top favorite. Although I love this chic rose gold iteration, it's available in various colors. The 25-degree professional-caliber slanted tip provides the perfect angle for plucking. Not to mention it's been a consistent award-winning model for over 22 years in the industry.
Pros: Stainless steel, nice color range, easy-to-handle 25-degree slanted tip for precise hair removal, editor favorite, lightweight
Cons: Expensive
Customer Review: "Love this tweezer. I love how precise this tweezer is. The slant on it gives you just the right angle for a nice clean pluck."
2. Best Sculpting: Joey Healy Elite Sculpting Tweezer
If you ever have the opportunity to get your brows done by Joey Healy, take it! Ask any editor, and they will tell you he is an expert at shaping and perfecting your natural arches. Naturally, his line of tools is fantastic, and this elite sculpting tweezer is no exception.
Pros: Elongated and angled tip for maximum precision and control
Cons: Expensive
Material: Stainless steel
Customer Review: "I lose tweezers all the time, But I will be protecting these! I rarely see myself trying to tweeze a hair a second time since 99% of the time, I'll grab it on the first try. These tweezers should be sold to professionals because their quality and grip are amazing."
3. Best for Small Hair: Anastasia Beverly Hills Tweezers
When we think "brow products," Anastasia Beverly Hills immediately comes to mind. And although the brand's pencils, shadows, waxes, and pomades might be more well-known, these top-rated tweezers are one of the best models on the market.
Pros: Custom slanted tip, calibrated tension to effortlessly remove even the tiniest hairs
Cons: Expensive, can dull more quickly than some of the other models on this list
Material: Stainless steel
Customer Review: "These are the best tweezers on the planet. They are precise, sharp, easy to handle, and grab absolutely any hair. These grab even the finest, shortest hair. I'm never buying another brand of tweezer. Ever."
4. Best Multi-Purpose: Benefit Cosmetics Grooming Tweezer & Brush
Leave it to Benefit to give us a totally convenient, two-in-one option for our brow-grooming needs. This model is highly rated and gets bonus points for having a custom-blended brush so you can brush up your hairs while tweezing for more precise shaping and clean-up.
Pros: Multitasking and dual-ended, coated with diamond dust to help grasp and pluck hairs on the first try
Cons: Expensive, don't "grab" as well once the diamond dust coating has worn away
Customer Review: "Benefit Cosmetics is the holy grail brand for my brows. I always go to Benefit Brow Bar to get my eyebrow work done, I love Benefit Cosmetic brow products, so I decided why not go for this tweezer? I am so glad I purchased this tweezer. It can cling to the tiniest of hairs and has never failed me. Great purchase!"
5. Best for Ingrowns: Tweezerman G.E.A.R. Ingrown Hair/Splintertweeze Stainless Steel Tweezer
Sometimes you need a pair of tweezers for non-brow-related jobs like dislodging ingrown hairs or splinters. If that's your game, this pointed pair from Tweezerman will be your new best friend.
Pros: Sharp, pointed tip that easily removes stubborn splinters and ingrown hairs
Cons: Expensive, can be hard to maneuver for beginners
Material: Stainless steel
Customer Review: "Thing I appreciate about the G.E.A.R. model is the larger size and longer tips. For the particular use case of ingrown hair trimmers, it's important to have more careful control, and the larger size makes them easier to use. I especially appreciate that the base includes larger handles for your thumb and finger to rest. It just gives you much more fine-tuned control and precision. It's a small change, but it has a big impact on usability. I don't know what else to say. I'm extremely pleased with these!"
6. Best Drugstore: Revlon Slant Tip Micro Fine Tweezer
If you don't want to spend more than $10, this pair of tweezers from Revlon can be found at the drugstore, comes highly recommended, and rakes in five-star ratings.
Pros: Revlon Lifetime Guarantee; perfectly aligned and slanted tip for fast, precise hair removal; easy to grip; affordable
Cons: Dull faster than some of the other models
Material: Stainless steel
Customer Review: "These are some of the best tweezers I have ever purchased, and I have re-purchased these multiple times. They will grab the tiniest of hairs. Which is a plus when you have dark brow hairs!"
7. Best Budget: E.l.f. Cosmetics Tweezer Trio Kit
If you are always on the go, we highly recommend this mini trio of tweezers from E.l.f. You get three uniquely shaped eyebrow tweezers that work together for easy-breezy plucking, shaping, and even ingrown hair removal. Plus, you really can't beat that $5 price point.
Pros: Affordable; great for travel; includes mini angled, flat-top, and pointed-tip tweezers
Cons: Less precise, lower-quality
Material: Stainless steel
Customer Review: "These are slightly lighter weight than high-end tweezers. Very happy with my purchase. This is my first time having multiple tweezers, and I do find I use them for different things. The deep slant for my brow arch, the lesser slanted for over brow, and the smallest for errant hairs."
8. Best Sharp-Pointed: Tweezer Guru Slant Pointed Precision Tweezers
Meet the choice tweezer among Amazon shoppers. Not only is this do-it-all pair of tweezers budget friendly and made from stainless steel, but it also has a 4.4-star rating and nearly 60,000 reviews.
Pros: Sharp, wide grip for easy tweezing control and execution, easy to hold, Amazon favorite
Cons: Very sharp, can scratch or cut the skin if not careful
Material: Stainless steel
Customer Review: "I've been using a different brand of tweezer my whole life and am so glad I tried these. They are very precise and grab hold of tiny facial hairs without slipping off and coming out empty-handed. My old tweezers seem too thick to grab any hairs without trying several times. These tweezers also come with a little silicone sleeve for the tip to protect them inside your drawer or cosmetic bag. Happy with the purchase!"
How We Chose
To find the best tweezers, I first polled our highly discerning team of beauty editors to find out their ride-or-die model(s) of tweezers. I then took expert advice into account (like prioritizing rust-resistant stainless steel and designs that can firmly grasp and remove unwanted hairs) as I began to comb through all the top-rated, best-selling tweezers across popular retailers like Amazon, Sephora, Nordstrom, and more. We're aware of how important these factors are for a wide range of needs and preferences, so we made sure to list out all the helpful details. Of course, customer reviews were also kept in mind when creating this list.
