Picking The Perfect Lash Tweezers
Choosing the right tweezers is essential for lash artists at every level. With so many different types of tweezers for eyelash extensions available, it’s crucial to understand their unique functions and how they can enhance your application technique. Whether you’re working with classic lashes, volume fans, or mega volume sets, having the right tool in hand ensures precision, comfort, and efficiency.

Tweezers for Classic Lashes
Classic lash application involves attaching one extension to each natural lash. The key to success lies in isolation and accurate placement, which is where the design of your tweezers comes into play.
Straight Tweezers
Straight Tweezers are probably some of the most excellent tweezers for isolating the natural lashes. Their sharp pointed end offers great control but should be handled with care due to proximity to the eye. These tweezers are lightweight and ergonomic, minimizing hand fatigue during long sessions.
Pointed Tweezers
Pointed Tweezers are designed to serve a similar purpose to the Straight Tweezers, though they do have an ever so slightly curved end. They offer a bit more flexibility while maintaining precision for both isolation and picking up individual lashes.
Angled Tweezers
Angled Tweezers are also some of the most popular in our range. With a thin, precise tip and a gentle curve, these tweezers are ideal for artists transitioning into more advanced techniques. They provide better visibility and control during lash placement.
Curved Tweezers
Curved Tweezers are like the sibling of Angled Tweezers. Their prominent curve is perfect for isolating lashes from various angles and revisiting the lash line post-application to separate any stickies.
Multifunctional Tweezers
As the name suggests, Multifunctional Tweezers are just that. They support multiple tasks including isolation, classic lash pickup, and even forming 2D fans—making them an excellent starter tool for beginners.
Tweezers for Volume Lashes
Volume lashing involves creating fans of multiple extensions per natural lash. The right tweezer must offer excellent grip and precision to form symmetrical fans effectively.
Fine Tip Volume Tweezers
Fine Tip Volume Tweezers are the best selling tweezers for Russian Volume Lashes in our range. Their slim design allows for delicate fan creation with pinpoint accuracy. These tweezers often feature a “sweet spot” that provides optimal grip when found.
Regular Tip Volume Tweezers
Regular Tip Volume Tweezers have a slightly thicker, stronger grip that allows you to make perfect fans. Ideal for those transitioning from classic lashing techniques, they support wide-ranging fan styles from 2D up to 6D.
Fibre Tip Tweezers
Fibre Tip technology enhances grip through textured tips that prevent slipping—especially useful when handling ultra-fine lashes or premade fans.
Fibre Tip Multifunctional Tweezers
Fibre Tip Multifunctional Tweezers feature a unique and textured hex grip for optimal grip on lash extensions. These versatile tools can isolate lashes or pick up Classic Lashes and Premade Fans effortlessly.
Fibre Tip Fine Tip Volume Tweezers
Fibre Tip Fine Tip Volume Tweezers feature the same unique and textured hex grip. Their fine tip ensures secure handling of delicate fans—perfect for beginners mastering volume techniques.
Fibre Tip Regular Volume Tweezers
Fibre Tip Regular Volume Tweezers are the best choice when it comes to creating Volume Fans using a wide range of techniques. With their enhanced grip and versatility, they accommodate fan sizes ranging from 2D to 8D.

Mega Volume Tweezers
Mega volume lashing demands even more finesse as it involves applying ultra-lightweight lashes in large fans (up to 16D). Specialized tweezers ensure stability without compromising on delicacy.
Long Slim Mega Volume Tweezers
Long Slim Mega Volume Tweezers feature a super slim 7 mm long tip. Their angled tips make them ideal for pinching methods while providing clear visibility during intricate work.
Wide Tip Mega Volume Tweezers
Wide Tip Mega Volume Tweezers boast a broader boot and an angled tip to provide supreme control and enhanced visibility when working on your volume fans.
Ultra Fine Tip Mega Volume Tweezers
Ultra Fine Tip Mega Volume Tweezers are ultra-slim, straight gripping point measuring 5 mm, offering unmatched accuracy especially suited for wiggle or rainbow fanning techniques as well as Easy Fan Lashes or Premade Fans.
