Waterproof Invisible Double Eyelid Tape - 120 Pieces Natural Fiber Eyelid Lifter Strips, Eye Lift Tape for Droopy Lids, Hooded Eyes

Updated 10-1-23(Changes made to Nos. 1, 4, 7, 12, 13, 15, & 17)This product works. After watching Smitha Deepak's video on YouTube called, "How & why to use lid tape if you have hooded eyes" I decided to try these because she recommended them. Her video is excellent because she provides step-by-step instructions with close-up images on how she applies the tape. She has other videos that address the placement of eyelid tapes.I've been using these tapes every day for about a year and have additional tips that I want to share with others as they navigate through the learning curve.1. Preparation: Fill the spray bottle cap with water. Have two tweezers on hand, a facial tissue or square from a toilet paper, and something to use as a fan like a piece of stiff cardboard.2. How to remove the tape from the white backing: Use the sticky rectangular pieces that are labeled "OPEN" and included with the product to separate the clear cover from the tapes. I press the OPEN tape onto the edge of the clear cover then pull up to unpeel it from the tapes. Once the tapes are exposed, there's no need to pick at the end of the tape to try a remove it from the white backing. This could put a crease on the end of the tape or otherwise damage it. I simply roll the white backing away from the tapes and with a little coaxing, the tapes begin to lift up from the white backing.3. The first thing I do is apply eyeliner.4. Prepping my eyelid: As shown in Smitha's video, I apply a LIGHT layer of concealer to my entire eyelid (I use Revlon Color Stay concealer 030 Light Medium). She uses a brush; I use a damp make-up sponge. Use sparingly as too much may prevent the tape from adhering to your eyelid.5. Next I apply a thin layer of powder shadow only to the eyelid fold area (I use Maybelline Shadow 30). The reason I chose these two colors (concealer & shadow) is because they match the color of the tape and help camouflage it. Use the powder shadow or loose powder VERY sparingly. I found if I use too much, the tape doesn't adhere very well and starts to peel away from my skin by the end of the day. This powder shadow application is optional.6. I apply a thin layer of loose powder to the rest of my upper eyelid to prevent the concealer from settling into the eyelid crease/fold (I use Cover Girl Clean Professional Loose Powder 110 Translucent Light).7. Picking up the tape. As referenced in No. 2 above, I roll the white backing over itself and the tape will pop up. I don't use my fingers to pick up the tape to avoid transferring oils onto it. I used to use a tweezer to grab the end of the tape before spraying it with water but found the tweezers blocked the water from saturating one of the most important parts of the tape; the ends. Instead, I now use two tweezers. One to pick up the tape (right hand) at the end and the second one (left hand) to grab a teeny part of the bottom of the tape in the middle. I avoid covering too much of the tape with the second tweezers to ensure the water hits the tape.8. While still holding the tape with my left hand, I spray the tape with water once on each side at a distance of 3" away.9. Using my right hand, I grab the other tweezers and dip the ends into the water contained in the spray bottle cap.10. Using my right hand, I grab the end of the tape and release my left grip. Try not to squeeze too hard because the tape will adhere to the tweezers and make it harder to release the tape once you place it on your eyelid.11. Tape placement. The tape placement varies from person to person. For me, I place the entire tape directly ON TOP of my eyelid fold/crease. I don't place it too close to the right or left side of my eye. I've seen videos that suggest placing the tape where you want the most eyelid lift (e.g., placing it closer to the outer edge of your eye). This doesn't work for me because it not only doesn't give me the lift I need but by the end of the day, the tape separates from my eyelid at the outer end. I found the best tape placement for me is directly on top of my eyelid crease/fold and, if anything, a smidgen closer to my nose. I also made the mistake once of placing the BOTTOM edge of the tape directly on the eyelid fold/crease. That did nothing to help lift my hooded eyelid.12. Once the tape is on my eyelid, I use the moistened tip of my tweezers to g-e-n-t-l-y tap-tap the tape wherever it appears to not be sticking to my eyelid. I can tell it may not be sticking because the tape hasn't become "invisible". I then take a toilet paper square, fold it in half, then use the folded part to l-i-g-h-t-l-y glide across the tape to absorb any excess water. A cotton swab doesn't work because sometimes the fibers get stuck to the tape. I then use a piece of cardboard to fan my eyelid for about 30 seconds to speed up the drying process. WAIT until the water has completely evaporated from the eyelid before fully opening your eye otherwise the tape may stick to parts of your eyelid where you don't want it to stick. I then use a blending brush & thoroughly immerse the end into loose powder (I use Cover Girl CleanProfessional Loose Powder 110 Translucent Light) and then I g-e-n-t-l-y tap-tap some loose powder onto the tape and above the tape. This helps prevent the sticky tape from adhering to parts of my eyelid where I don't want it to stick once I fully open my eye.13. Second eyelid. Before I begin working on the second eye, I make sure both tweezers are dry before picking up the second tape. I repeat the same steps used for the first eyelid. At this point, I pick off any glue residue that may have stuck to the ends of the brush and use the white pick that comes with the product to comb through the brush to remove any excess powder that remains.14. Once the second tape is applied, I continue with the rest of my makeup and don't fuss with the tape. What I'm trying to accomplish here is to allow any remaining moisture to evaporate. The fewer times I touch the tape the more likely it will attach to my eyelid.15. I've found that soon after I place the tapes on my eyelids, my eyelid isn't quite the way I want it to fold. However, by the time I finish the rest of my makeup, the new eyelid fold eventually finds its natural crease without any more intervention from me.16. The tape stays in place for me all day; at least 15 hours.17. Just a final note: The fewer times you touch the tape the better. In an emergency, I might add a tiny dab of clear liquid eyelash glue to the parts of the tape (such as the ends) that are peeling away from my skin. Also, I keep a small brush and powder in my handbag especially on hot days when I might perspire more and cause the tape to loosen due to the excess moisture that may have collected on my eyelid.I hope these tips help. Good luck!

I'm writing this review in hopes that the company will contact me I just opened this package yesterday and I have gone through four sheets trying to get the eye lifts off in one piece they are tearing in multiple pieces I realize I am a couple days past the return time but I've also bought these on several different occasions and I do enjoy them but this batch has been faulty from the start I don't know if there's anything in the company would be willing to do to assist me in this matter I realize it's my fault I just opened them but I didn't need them until just recently like yesterday as I finally used the last of my previous order so again I'm they're tearing off and bits and pieces instead of completely. I'm not sure why but every time I try to take a picture of them it won't let me do it I'll try again again overall these are really great product but this batch has been nothing but a pain in the butt I wish I had opened them sooner but since I didn't need them until just now because the other ones finally got used up I'm kind of stuck with an entire batch that seems faulty I'm hoping the company will help out. I will continue to hold on to the faulty sheets since my phone doesn't want to allow me to submit a picture

It took me a long time to figure out where exactly I had to place this eyelid tape in order to lift up my eyelid. I tried in different parts of my eyelid on several occasions until I was able to figure it out. I don’t see it’s invisible, but I feel it less visible if you put it on after applying make up on your eyes. I tried applying make up after putting it on and I feel it’s more visible. It causes a little itching to my eyelid, it might be the type of glue they use, but if I apply some moisturizer on my eyelid and let it dry, it doesn’t cause that much itching. It stays in place and doesn’t move. I feel this product has a lot of potential, but it can be improved.
