When it comes to DIY lashes, having the right tools is just as important as choosing the perfect set of cluster lashes. The Clean Touch Tweezer by TAD is designed to make lash application effortless, whether you're a beginner or an experienced lash wearer. In this guide, we’ll explore different types of lash tweezers, what makes the best lash tweezer, and how to properly clean them.
Different Types of Lash Tweezers
The world of DIY lash extensions is full of options, and the right tweezer can make all the difference. When beginning to look for supplies, it’s easy to land on professional lash extension tweezer options, but you really do not need anything like that for your cluster lash tweezer. We’re talking about at-home last extensions, and that requires a different kind of tweezer.
1. Different Angles
The angle of your tweezer tip plays a crucial role in how to apply DIY lash extensions. Different tweezers can have different angles, which will impact how you hold the tweezer to apply the segment to your natural lash.
Two key angles we see in most DIY lash extension tweezers are:
Straight Lash Tweezers - These tweezers have a fine, pointed tip and are ideal for grabbing across your segment completely to apply.
Curved Lash Tweezer - Curved tweezers are perfect for gripping and placing cluster lashes close to the lash line. Their ergonomic shape is great for clamping your lashes once the set is complete.
2. Different Materials
Some tweezers are finished with a different coating, which can impact how they feel, and even how sticky they become during application. We find that non-coated tweezers can easily stick to the segments if lash adhesive gets on the tweezers.
Different materials of tweezers can also affect the staticness of the tweezers!
For TAD’s new Clean Touch Tweezer, we have included an enamel coating that eliminates the stickiness. Having a nonstick tweezer makes application not only easier, but faster!
3. Different Shape
We talked about the angle of the tip of the tweezer, but another feature can be the body or shape of the entire tweezer. Depending on the shape will factor into how you hold your tweezer when applying your cluster lashes.
4. Tension of the Tweezers
The tension of the tweezer refers to how easy it is to grip and handle the tweezer. It shouldn’t feel too flimsy or too difficult to squeeze together. We find with loose tension, your tweezers will go bad quicker.
TAD’s Clean Touch Tweezer has medium tension. It’s easy for pick up and makes clamping your lashes easy, without having to strain your hand.
How to Hold Your Lash Tweezers
Hold your cluster lash tweezer in your dominant hand with your thumb and index finger positioned near the wide space for balance. Angle the tweezers slightly downward as if you are holding a pencil, keeping the tip facing toward your lash segments.
To pick up a lash cluster, gently squeeze the tweezers and grasp the cluster above the base, straight across the segment.
For the best control, hold the tweezers at a slight diagonal angle—this helps with precision and ensures a natural placement to your natural lashes.
Keep your grip firm but relaxed to avoid crushing the fibers or losing control of the lash.
Because of TAD’s unique 3D lashes, you can grab ahold of the segment tightly and it will bounce back into shape because of the 3D Memory Flex Technology.

How to Clean Lash Tweezers
Maintaining the cleanliness of your cluster lash tweezers is crucial for hygiene and longevity. Here’s how to clean your tweezers properly:
Step 1: Remove Adhesive Residue
After applying DIY lashes, use a lint-free cloth or cotton pad with an oil-free makeup remover to wipe away any adhesive from the tweezers. You can also use your TAD Prep Pads!
Step 2: Disinfect with Alcohol
Dip the tips of the tweezers in 70% isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes to kill bacteria and prevent infections. Rinse after.
Step 3: Dry Properly
After disinfecting, allow the tweezers to air dry completely before storing them in a clean, dry place.
Regularly cleaning your tweezers not only extends their lifespan but also ensures safe application every time you apply your DIY lash extensions.
We often get asked how long do DIY lashes last, but if you’re wondering how long your tweezers last, they should last you a few years!
Can You Bring Lash Tweezers on a Plane?
If you’re planning to travel with your best lash tweezers, you might wonder, can you bring lash tweezers on a plane? The good news is that most airlines allow tweezers in both carry-on and checked baggage. However, it’s always best to check TSA regulations before your flight.
For those who love to keep up with their lash routine while traveling, investing in a compact DIY lash kit with all the essentials, including the Clean Touch Tweezer, ensures you can apply lashes on the go.
