“The eyebrow is the most important part of any makeup look. It frames and defines the eye as well as the face. Believe it or not the history of the eyebrow starts back in ancient times. It wasn’t until the 1920s when silent film star Clara Bow popularized the “over plucked” look that the use of tweezers on the face came into play. Ever since then, eyebrows changed with the decade and the use of beauty products on the market. However, the first pair of tweezers were not used for the use of tweezing hair from the face. They were originally used just to pick up little objects that the fingers could not. They can also be used for the use of crafts and hobbies such as stamp collecting. The shape and pointed edge made things much simpler.
Nowadays, the tweezer can be found in just about every makeup bag. Different types, shapes, and sizes are on the market today. There are tweezers from blunt edge to sharp edge, small and large. You name it it’s there. When I was in school for hair and skin, we learned that the easiest tweezers to use where ones that had a pointed edge so it is easier to get those little, pesky hairs from every little nook and cranny. Now I usually don’t tweeze my eyebrows or chin or other parts of my face but my mom, ever since I could remember, has been the one to use tweezers. Of course the older she’s gotten the worse it has become for her to see in her mirror without her glasses. She uses a clip on light on the mirror as well. All that changed when she started using tweezers from the company La-Tweez in their Mystic Dreams Mermaid design.
La-Tweez brings ease back into tweezing with a built in light, a slight pointed edge and convenient shape to hold them comfortably. My mom fell in love with them the very first time she used them. She says the LED light is the most attractive feature and is what caught her eye first. She didn’t have to struggle with glasses, finding the perfect lighting, or even attaching the clip on light to her mirror. The first day she got it, she told me she was able to turn on the light and use the reflection in the box. Since she tweezes daily, she also finds these more gentle to use on the skin since they don’t pinch like other tweezers might.
In addition to the LED light, the packaging of this LIMITED EDITION Illuminating Tweezer product actually caught the eye of both of us. Since this is their Mystic Dreams Mermaid design, the ombre use of blue and green and scales really makes you think they just dug it up from the ocean floor. “Very Key West” as my mom would put it. Oh, let me not forget to mention that the Tweezers have Diamond Dust tips!
Along with the packaging came a case that holds the tweezers comfortably and conveniently so they don’t get dulled, bent or dirty. The cosmetic case almost looks like a lipstick holder but when you open it the tweezers sit right inside. This makes it perfect for travel. It easily fits in your purse or gym bag and doesn’t take up any more room than a pack of gum.
Each tweezer from La-Tweez really accentuates the personality of everyone on your gift list. Whether they are a “Pretty in Pink” to “Back in Black”, there really is a color for everyone. La-Tweez is designed and tested to fit your needs. When you need to “pluck” grab your La-Tweez. Trust me if my mom loves it so will you. Visit www.latweez.com
