TSA considers tweezers to be completely safe, so they're allowed on planes. You can pack tweezers in hand or checked baggage without any packing restrictions. But TSA doesn't allow packing sharp objects in hand baggage because some of them could be used as potential weapons.
Checked Bags: Yes
Any sharp objects in checked baggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.
And remember: There are some items you can't carry on board; for eg, tweezers, nail scissors, corkscrews. Make sure you're well aware of the prohibited items list opens in new window, and that you can do without these things on your trip.
Tweezers, electric razors, disposable razors, and their cartridges are all permitted in your carry-on luggage or personal item.

Safety Razors: Because the razor blades are so easy to remove, safety razors are not permitted in your carry-on luggage with the blade. They're fine to pack in your carry-on without the blade. The blades must be stored in your checked luggage. The same applies for straight razors.

Nail clippers, nail-trimming scissors and cuticle cutters are totally fine in your carry-on bag.
The short answer is yes. Cartridge razors, where the cartridge can be detached from the handle and covered with a plastic head, are usually fine to take in your hand luggage on a plane. Disposable razors are also okay to take in your hand luggage, as long as they are in their packaging.
Each passenger is limited to one quart-size bag of liquids, gels and aerosols. Common travel items that must comply with the 3-1-1 liquids rule include toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash and lotion.
Containers larger than 100 millilitres or 100 grams, even if only partially-filled, containing liquids, aerosols or gels will not be allowed through the security screening point. For example, a 200 gram toothpaste tube that is half-full will not be permitted.
Electric razors and razors that have the blade set into a plastic moulding are permitted in carry-on baggage. Razor blades and razors that can be opened and the razor blade removed are permitted in checked baggage only.
One of the main reasons people wonder whether they can bring a type of tweezers on a plane is because they're considered to have sharp edges. According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), sharp objects are not allowed in hand luggage or on your person. However, they are permitted in checked luggage.
Liquid or gel food items larger than 3.4 oz are not allowed in carry-on bags and should be placed in your checked bags if possible. TSA officers may instruct travelers to separate items from carry-on bags such as foods, powders, and any materials that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine.
Knives, scissors, Swiss army knives and other sharp instruments. Toy replicas of fire arms and ammunition. Weapons such as whips, nan-chakus, baton, or stun gun. Electronic devices which cannot be switched off.

The same goes for credit card sized wallet tools and work tools such as pliers, hammers, screwdrivers and crowbars. Personal items such as small scissors, spoons, disposable razors, nail clippers and files, tweezers and knitting needles are allowed.
Stick deodorant is fine in any size. Well, almost any size… Powders and crystals are good to go as well. Spray, Gel, Liquid, Cream, Pastes, and Roll-On deodorants need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces and placed in a clear quart-sized baggie.

When packing liquid makeup products, you'll want to stick to the liquid limits we previously mentioned. You're free to pack items like mascara, brow gel, and concealer in your carry-on, as long as they're smaller than 3.4 ounces and packed in a clear, quart-sized bag.
If you are packing your makeup in your carry-on, just make sure that any liquids are in a container that is 3.4 ounces or less.
