When you finally grab hold of a stray hair that needs to go, there’s nothing more frustrating than realizing your tweezers just don’t have the right grip. Sometimes, even if you get a new pair to replace your old tried and true ones, you may find that you end up going back to ol’ reliable when your replacement doesn’t check off all the right boxes.
To help you avoid that fumble, we’ve rounded up the best pairs of tweezers on the market right now, and what type of hairy situation they’re best for. Here are a few of our favorites.

The tapered stainless steel blade on these tweezers can target even the most stubborn hairs—you know, the ones only your waxer seems to be able to pluck at the salon. And even though the blade on these tweezers is sharp enough to target one stubborn hair, you can rest assured that they won’t scrape or scratch your face if they come in contact with your skin.
Best For Basic Grooming:

It includes BROW BAR’S signature precision golden tweezers and two buildable brow powders, plus a concealer, highlighter, spoolie, brush, and pencil.

Made from high-quality, satin-finished material, these tweezers are built to last a lifetime. They come in a protective zip pouch to keep them safe from makeup debris in your makeup bag, and they feature an angled tip that allows for precision plucks and easy brow cleanup when you’re on the go.
Best of Both Worlds:

When you picture a pair of tweezers, there’s an opening and an end, right? Not with these innovative tweezers from F.A.R.A.H. The z-shape allows for dual-ended function, so if you enjoy both flat and pointed-tip tweezers, this is the only pair you’ll ever need to purchase.
Best Grip:
CHELLA Slanted Tip Tweezers

You know when you’re tweezing stray hairs, minding your own business, when all of a sudden a hand cramp strikes? Leave those painful problems in the past with this pair that features an opening that allows you to rest your fingers in the tweezer bar itself for a more precise grip. To make the removal process even easier, try opening your pores before you tweeze. Either rest a warm wet washcloth over your face for a few minutes before tweezing, or tweeze right after you get out of the shower.
Best Tame & Groom Duo:
BENEFIT COSMETICS Grooming Tweezer & Brush Set

These slanted tweezers are actually coated with diamond dust to give you a better grip on even the finest hairs. Then, the included grooming brush helps the tweezing process along by pushing brows upwards so you can easily spot the strays.
Best For Men:
BILLION DOLLAR BROWS Men’s Grooming Kit

One end of these tweezers features a fine comb, so after you’ve plucked stray brow hairs, you can turn it over and use it to comb through the beard. The included scissors even help you trim excess facial hair as needed.
