Equate Beauty Duo Pack Tweezers

Yes, you read that price correctly—and that's the cost of two pairs of tweezers. "My favorite pair of Tweezers are the duo pack from Walmart by Equate. They are durable and get even the tiniest hairs out of the way!" says makeup artist Taylar B. When it comes to selecting a pair of tweezers, the artist notes that expensive does not necessarily mean better. "I find that the wider tweezers look sturdier, but they hurt like heck when plucking eyebrows. They are also sharper and leave marks on skin if you're not careful," she says.

Cons: Some reviewers find them a bit small

M LASH Diamond Grip Eyelash Extensions Tweezers

Choosing tweezers for your lash extensions is a little more complicated than picking something for a simple pluck. "My favorite tweezers for doing lash extensions truly depend on the technique and style of lash we are creating," says celebrity brow and lash artist Melina Cespedes, founder of Lash Society Miami. "For classic lashes, I use old-school tweezers with a slant tip. But when I do volume lashes, I switch between L-shaped tweezers and a C-shaped tweezer. My isolating tweezer (left hand) stays the same—slim, straight, and lightweight!"

With that being said, this highly-rated set has all of the above—but there is one more thing to remember. "It's the skill of the lash artist that matters more than the type of tweezer used," says Cespedes.

Tip: Variety
Material: Stainless steel
Warranty: None

Pros: Contains multiple types of tweezers; Highly rated; Multiple color options

Cons: More expensive than other options

Tip: Pointed
Material: Stainless steel
Warranty: Manufacturing warranty returns accepted three days after receipt

Pros: Extremely sharp

Cons: More expensive than other options; Best used by a professional
