"  No more digging in that dollar store bin. We tested of dozens of models to find the best pair of tweezers for what you need. How we started: We sent out a questionnaire to a volunteer panel of testers to learn about their tweezing habits. What we got back was a record response: Nearly 1,000 people replied in a matter of hours. And while almost everyone owned a pair of tweezers, more than a one third responded that they were indifferent or dissatisfied with their current pair. Our testers were pretty evenly split on how much they would spend on a new pair of tweezers: A third said they wouldn&amp;#039;t want to spend more than $10, another third were willing to spend up to $20, and the last third were willing to spend as much it took on a good pair. We also learned that they use tweezers for many more things than eyebrow shaping, including jewelry repair, arts and crafts, food prep and more. Once we got an idea of what consumers wanted out of their tweezers, we rounded up 33 top sellers from major brands that came in a range of prices, from $1 to $44 a pair. Next, we sent out blinded versions of the tweezers to women. The volunteer testers used them at least two separate times to shape their brows. We received 357 completed tests that weighed in on, among other things, how well the pair grabbed tiny hairs and whether the tweezers pinched their skin. What we found: We tallied the results of our consumer test and eliminated 20 contenders that ranked at the bottom. We then got help from a brow artist in New York City, Soledad Alberti, who shapes eyebrows everyday. She came to our Beauty Lab and used the top 13 tweezers to shape the brows of volunteers. Alberti, along with our volunteer reviews, helped determine our final six winners. The bottom line: You can forget about that $1 bargain pair. Our testers and eyebrow pro ranked the higher-priced tweezers above the cheaper counterparts. And the favorite tip shape? Slanted came in at number one.
