Tweezerman

Use this with caution if you have sensitive skin. I broke out in large red swollen welt like blemishes almost immediately after using this instrument of torture not to mention the pain which I could handle but I still have a nasty blemish a week after using it . I thought at first it was the result of different cleansers I had been testing out but I just used it again and I could see three more starting to swell. I cleaned it with alcohol after each use too. One point because it does take the hair out but will take little hairs out that don't need to be removed. (my other reviews are under the name electralights).

My eye shape is almond and slightly upturned in the outer corners. The Tweezerman ProMaster curler was recommended to me by the SA at Sephora as the best fitting one for my eye shape. Before this, I was using Sephora's brand of curler and while it was OK, it kept missing all the tiny lash hairs in the inner and outer corners of my eyes. The Tweezerman gets all the hairs, including the little ones in the corners all in one go. The best part is I can press the curler up against my lids and curl from the base of the lashes without pinching the lids. The result is a perfect looking curl from base to tip that doesn't look crimped. I also recently acquired the Shiseido curler and IMO, they both perform identical for my eye shape.

It took me a few minutes and a few minutes of frantically watching videos to get the hang of this, but once I did, I loved it! I was looking for an alternative to waxing my upper lip at home, which I find to be messy, and it requires equipment that I can’t bring with me on a trip. Waxing also makes my skin break out sometimes. This works really well and reminds me of threading. It’s portable, discreet, and leaves no mess. Much easier on my skin than waxing. You hold the coils against your skin, turn two knobs, and move the coils back and forth over the area. It takes a few passes in different directions to pick up the hairs. One trick I picked up was to hold the tool so that you are turning the knobs IN. When I held it the other way, the tool did absolutely nothing. Minus one lippie because mine didn’t come with any instructions whatsoever. The tool also came with a set of mini tweezers, which are pretty good tweezers. For me, this is a must have!
