Tweezers: The Multi-use tool in your handbag

Ah, the tweezer. A staple skincare tool in everyone’s collection. 


Whenever there’s a rogue eyebrow or facial hair, or we need precision for putting on some fake lashes, they’re always there for us.


These tiny tools are also perfect for on the go and can be thrown into a handbag at any time (maybe throw them in their own bag first though, avoid nasty surprises when rummaging through your bag!)


But apart from beauty purposes, there are a lot of other practical reasons to have a tweezer on hand, so let’s get into a few of them!

 

Plucking Eyebrows

 

It’s irritating, to say the least when you notice one unruly, out-of-place eyebrow hair. The thought can consume your whole day, stopping your ability to get on with anything else - that’s where your tweezer comes in!

 

Tweezers are the perfect tool for plucking eyebrows, thanks to their easy-to-handle design and sharpness for grabbing and plucking hairs.

 

Slanted tweezers are the most common type and are great for plucking hairs from any part of the eyebrow. And it’s not just eyebrows, tweezers are the perfect solution to any out-of-place facial hair. 

 

Here’s a quick guide for using tweezers to remove hair:

 

Step 1: Make sure your tweezers are clean. 

 

Step 2: Pinch the tweezer together over the hair.

 

Step 3: Quickly and efficiently pluck the hair out.

Applying Eyelashes

 

Another time when tweezers come in handy is when applying false eyelashes. Whether it’s strip lashes or individuals, applying them with a tweezer can be a lot more straightforward than using your hands.

 

Their precise tip makes them perfect for isolation and application and is great for gripping both kinds of lashes to get them in the perfect position.

 

For applying eyelashes:

 

Step 1: Make sure your tweezers are clean. 

 

Step 2: Pinch the tweezer on the edge of the false lash - hold this in a position where you’re able to apply the lash line of the false lash to your own without the tweezer getting in the way.

 

Step 3: Apply lash glue to the false lash’s lash line and wait for it to become tacky.

 

Step 4: Looking in a mirror, gently guide the false lash line to your own and press down so that the glue attaches. 

 

Step 5: Give the lash time to dry and enjoy gorgeous lashes!

 

 

Other Uses

 

Apart from the common uses, tweezers are a brilliant tool to have in your handbag or even your suitcase when travelling. A few other uses for them include:

 

Untangling necklaces: You know when you want to wear that one necklace you love but there’s a big old knot? Annoying. Well, have you ever thought of taking your tweezers to it? Similarly, to using them for eyelash application, their precision tip makes them great for delicate jobs like this.

 

Pulling out splinters: Another less common way to use tweezers but one that could save you a lot of pain! For getting rid of sneaky splinters, tweezers’ firm frame and precise point are perfect for removing them quickly and efficiently.

 

Threading needles: For all of our crafty queens out there, threading a needle isn’t always a first-time job, it takes concentration and patience…but when you haven’t got that, a handy tweezer is always there!

 

Nail art: For when you’re fancying some new nail art but don’t have time for the salon treatment, why not spice things up by using some rhinestones or jewels on your nails? Again, tweezers are perfect for precision application and less mess!
