If you don’t want to shave all your hirsuteness away, what else can you do? For small areas, such as your eyebrows, where you would like precise hair removal, and no stubble, you can tweeze. I showed you Elke and Julie’s awesome video a week or two ago where she covers all of the important things you need to know about tweezing your eyebrows – shaping them, and specific tweezer usage tips that will help more effectively and less painfully remove those little hairs. My tweezing confession is this – I hate cheap tweezers (and hair products, but that is another post). I am a real snob about them. I have tried cheap tweezers and they just don’t work, or they don’t work for long. Two bucks for a set of tweezers *sounds* good, but it isn’t. Ever. I don’t like Revlon, L’Oreal or any of the other drugstore varieties, and I have tried them all at one point or another (when I have lost my good ones and was desperate and poor). You will buy 100 sets of cheap tweezers and your $40 tweezers will still out last them. You need good, precision tweezers.

My current favorite tweezer is made by Rubis – a Swiss brand that is very well known but not as mainstream as, say, Tweezerman (which makes a good tweezer too, but choose the upper price point tweezers). On top of being very precise and longlasting, they come in a huge array of colors and styles. For general tweezing, I personally much prefer a flat or angled tip, rather than a pointed tip- but I will probably invest in a pointed tip soon, they come in very handy sometimes. Rubis also manufactures Bobbi Brown’s tweezers. Pictured above (and linked to Amazon.com) is the tweezer I use and love, by Rubis, and it is available at Amazon.com for $34.95. A good price. Trust me on this.

Do you tweeze any other body parts besides your eyebrows? Tell me about it, I would love to hear.
