Our Top Picks

The surgical steel tips of these pointed tweezers are hand-filed and aligned so that they close evenly, ensuring that each hair is removed from the root. "I didn't need to use any force or pressure to pluck tiny hairs," our tester says. They don't just remove hairs with ease, though. These tweezers are also great for extracting splinters, thorns and shards of glass.

One thing the tester called out is the size of the tweezers. "I personally love this pair because I have smaller hands, but if you have bigger hands these tweezers might be hard to use," they share.

Material: Stainless steel | Tip shape: Pointed | Features: Hand-filed tips

For a one-stop shop for all things brow grooming, these tweezers by Benefit are a great pick. They have slanted-tip pincers on one end and a small brush on the other to help shape and style brows with one tool. Brush your brows upward before plucking so you can see where you need to tweeze, and then again after to position brows into place.

"The entire tool feels strong—I don't feel the need to grip or pull the hairs too hard," our tester explains. The durability is in part to a coating of diamond dust (yes, really) which also helps remove barely there hairs sans pain.

One downfall is that these tweezers aren't great at grabbing individual hairs, but rather pull multiple hairs at a time—which makes them better for plucking a large area of hair, such as in between eyebrows.

Material: Diamond dust-coated stainless steel | Tip shape: Slanted | Features: Grooming brush

Anastasia Soare is the woman behind the brows of Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lopez, and Amal Clooney, so you can rest assured that these tweezers from her eponymous brand are top of the line. They boast a custom slanted tip that never has to be sharpened, and a calibrated tension that helps grasp even the smallest hairs.

These smart details scored high among testers. "The tweezers look sleek but feel very sturdy," our reviewer notes. "Plus, they're the perfect size, even in my small hands."

Our reviewer also raved about the tool's efficiency, especially when it came to thin hairs that are difficult to grasp, like in the lower arch of the brows. "I was able to grip onto hairs with just one try," she explains.

Overall, the tweezers' stainless steel tip was a favorite feature because it made eyebrow grooming a tension-free process. "It actually felt nice on my skin," our reviewer says.

Material: Stainless steel | Tip shape: Slant | Features: Protective tip cover

These slant tweezers from Coco's prove you don't have to spend a ton of money on a quality pair. Not only are they the most affordable option on this list, they also received rave reviews from our tester, especially when it came to comfort.

The tweezers have a wide finger grip, which keeps your digits comfortable while plucking. "This type of grip could prevent finger cramping during longer tweezing sessions," she explains. The stainless steel material is also durable yet lightweight to eliminate any tension while pulling stray hairs.

The grip itself comes in a variety of bright colors, making the tweezers easy to find in a fully stocked makeup bag or cluttered medicine cabinet. A travel pouch is also included to keep the tip from dulling and prevent injury.

One thing our reviewer wishes she could improve is the precision of the tip. "Because the grip is wider, the tweezers themselves are a bit bigger, which makes it harder to grab tiny hairs," she says. Despite the size, she notes that the tweezers extracted her hairs quickly and painlessly.

Material: Stainless steel | Tip shape: Slant tip | Features: Travel pouch

Looking for high-quality tweezers that are perfect for travel? Check out this set from Tweezerman. The trio comes with miniature slanted-tip, pointed-tip, and flat-tip tweezers, as well as a leather carrying case that is compact enough to fit inside toiletry bags and carry-ons. "I'd recommend these tweezers in a heartbeat, especially for travel since they're so small," our tester says. "The set also comes in a chic rose gold carrying case with a magnetic closure."

Not only is the set excellent for tweezing on-the-go, each pair is also durable enough for daily use. Made with high-quality stainless steel, all three tweezers work in just about any situation. "These are effective on all hair—short, long, thick, and thin," the tester explains. "The tips feel sharp but don't hurt, which is a winning combination."

Material: Stainless steel | Tip shape: Slanted, Pointed, and Flat | Features: Carrying case

Other Options You Might Like

Rubis Switzerland Classic Elegance Tweezers

Don’t be alarmed if seeing these tweezers makes you weirdly hungry, as the hole pattern of the design is meant to represent Swiss cheese! This tool doesn’t just look unique, either—its slanted tip allows you to readily grip even the smallest hairs. And with similar styles available in gold and red-gold, there are plenty of options to choose from for a little extra sparkle in your makeup bag.

We also love that every pair of tweezers from this brand are handmade, but keep in mind that makes them extra delicate, so be careful when handling.

Zwilling Beauty Twinox Slant Tweezer

These gold tweezers may look expensive, but luckily this isn’t the case. The Zwilling Beauty Twinox Slant Tweezer is not only engineered to cleanly pluck brow hair—it’s also designed to remove splinters as neatly as possible. We especially love that the PVD coating is scratch resistant (a.k.a., won’t get too banged up when it jostles in our makeup bags). The thick handle also provides an ergonomic hold, assuring your fingers won’t get tired or sore when using them.

We do wish the product came with covers to protect the tips, but we like them so much we’ll just be careful when storing.
