Hello beauty hunter! My name is Elena Burlachenko and I will help you in choosing such an important device in the work of each eyebrow artist as TWEEZERS!!!
For me personally, the process of choosing tweezers is an almost intimate process! No matter how funny it sounds.
I believe that each artist of her "Perfect Tweezers" can have his own. And it will differ both in price category and in form. Personally, I am an artist who uses 4 tweezers at the same time in the process of work😱 For different zones and for a specific task, I have my own tweezers!
The main criteria for choosing eyebrow tweezers
In order to make it easier for us to choose tweezers, we will define several criteria that we will rely on in their choice:
- Tweezer shape. It is convenient to use different tweezers for different tasks: remove vellus hair, thin out, or create a clear contour.
- Tweezer pressure force. How hard you need to press the tweezers will determine how quickly your hand will get tired from work. And if you have a lot of clients in a day, this can become a problem.
- The thickness of the edge of the tweezers. The thickness of the working zone depends on the accuracy and precision of the work.
It is the combination of these factors that will help you choose the most comfortable tweezers for work, which will last a long time and bring a lot of pleasure.
Types of eyebrow tweezers
Beveled tweezers - the classic version of tweezers is a must-have for every artist. It is this shape that allows you to conveniently perform eyebrow correction. The steeper the angle of the bevel, the more convenient and comfortable it is to get to the lower horizontal of the eyebrow closer to the bridge of the nose. Nikk Mole beveled tweezers are perfect for this. The category of classic beveled tweezers for me includes - Tweezerman, Zola, and CC brow
Straight (narrow) tweezers - these tweezers are more suitable for male correction and for removing ingrown hairs. Additional criteria, in this case, will be narrow blades of tweezers converging in a “wedge”. A good example of such tweezers is Staleks (straight).
Point tweezers - at the moment, a must-have for every professional eyebrow artist! Ideal for men's eyebrow correction using the "spikelet" technique, for removing ingrown hairs and for working out small details, as well as for thinning the eyebrows. It can be called a multifunctional assistant! And my favorite in this category is the point tweezers by Okis.
Curved tweezers - ideal for beginners. It is impossible to pinch working with these tweezers. It will also allow you to work out the top line well. A wonderful representative of this category is the tweezers from Okis and Staleks.
Mini tweezers - this option is useful in a travel makeup bag or if you have a miniature hand like Cinderella). Okis mini and Tweezerman mini tweezers are the best representatives of these little ones.
Tweezers by pressing force
Soft tweezers - well suited for artists with a "soft" hand. These tweezers have soft pressure and your hand will not get tired when working. If you don't like to apply a lot of pressure when working with tweezers then try CTR Groupe tweezers.
Medium tweezers - suitable for those who are looking for a middle ground. They are the most adaptable in work and are suitable for almost all eyebrow artists. BrowXenna tweezers and all Okis tweezers have medium pressure.
Tight tweezers - suitable for those who are used to feeling the force of tweezer compression.
What affects the thickness of the edge of the tweezers?
Wedge - metal parts converging into a wedge are easy to recognize by their thinness. They will allow you to take up the vellus hair and help to work out the smallest sections of the eyebrow. I would recommend such tweezers to already experienced artists since a beginner can leave a pinch when working quickly.
Flat - they can be recognized by thickened parts with a flat cut. These tweezers are great for beginners. It will be good to capture even the most vellus hair. I would include the entire line of Twizerman and CC brow tweezers in this category.
It is precisely according to these criteria that I suggest you choose tweezers for your beloved! Remember, in choosing tweezers it is very important to “feel” this tool. Therefore, when choosing it, it is very important to take tweezers, try it on your hand, and decide the grade of convenience for yourself. And when the “Ring” happens, you will understand that it is he, the one who will become a faithful assistant in creating the most beautiful eyebrows!!!
