The seriously surprising tool all celebrity makeup artist kits have in common

Let’s be real, award show season feels like it’s gone on forever by now. We’re pretty sure the celebs are keen for an award show hiatus after their back-to-back appearances. But for us, it means we’ve got a million tabs open, keeping track of everyone’s behind the scenes ‘getting ready’ glam moments. We’re always hoping to spot a new makeup fave, skin care saviour or hair styling superstar that’s got the celebrity artist tick of approval.

And while we’ve definitely found a few along the way (did anyone else see Florence Pugh’s hair?) we came across a rather surprising revelation throughout our investigating. One brand seems to find itself in basically every celeb makeup artist’s kit, and there's a good reason why…

Tweezerman (and why celeb makeup artists love it)

Is it that surprising that a whole lot of makeup and nail artists have beauty tools floating around their kits? Not in the slightest; in fact we’d be concerned if they didn’t. But our sleuthing brought us to realise, they all appear to be loving the exact same brand. 

Tweezerman, a true cult-classic brand, has been one of the best in the biz for over forty years and continues to prove why it’s the brand the celeb makeup and nail artists rely on. 

One of the esteemed nail artists that sings the Tweezerman tune is none other than BEAUTYcrew fave, Tom Bachik. The celeb-loved nail artist brought us Selena Gomez’ Emmys vampy red nails and even the likes of Margot Robbie’s khaki Saltburn mani. Bachik took the Oscars as an opportunity to bring out the big guns (i.e. his own Tweezerman collection), even sharing the must-have tools in his kit along with his top nail care tips (we needed them).
