Lids by Design – N°4 Invisible Instant Eyelid Lift Strips for Slight Hooded, Droopy & Heavy Lids – Medical-Grade, Non-Surgical Eye Lift Tape – 80 Count

I first saw an ad for this product on YouTube and was impressed by dramatic results. My eyelids have always been a little droopy, but that did not bother me much until maybe a year ago (I am 44 now), when I started noticing more eyelid droopiness on my photographs, which was, obviously, upsetting. As this product is quite expensive, I read reviews, both positive and negative ones, prior to purchasing the variety pack (4-7 mm). The results I've seen on photos posted by successful users prompted me to go ahead and purchase. It's been a week since I got the package and I tried all the sizes. My impressions are below. I will also post my take on some of the negative comments I read here. - First, and most importantly, the strips DO WORK! I am very pleased with the results. The overal result is a fresh, rested look for the eyes. When the eyelid is elevated it also softens the gaze. I could not stop looking at my eyes in the mirror! I also FaceTimed my mother, and she was equally impressed and purchased the strips as well. - For new users, like myself, I strongly suggest purchasing the variety pack. I started with a 7 mm strip, but then discovered that 4 mm gives me the optimal balance of result vs daily wear comfort. I may use bigger size strips for going out or for any occasion where I may be photographed. - Regarding the comment that "strips are visible." I think this depends on the skin tone. I am light-skinned and I can hardly see them. I apply the strips to clean dry eyelids and then apply pastel eyeshadow over, and it works very well. I'd probably avoid dark eyeshadows when using these strips. - Regarding the comments that "strips are hard to use, uncomfortable and do not yield good results." I disagree with the hard to use part. Gently lift the strip by the very edge (do not apply too much force to the plastic forcep), the strips are sticky enough that they attach to one forcep tip, so you don't need to hold the forceps squeezed. Importantly, do not attempt to hold your mirror and apply the strips at the same time; use a good standing mirror. If the strips are uncomfortable and do not work as expected you are probably 1) using the wrong size 2) not applying them properly. The strip should not be too close to the eyelid edge (allow for a few mm away), and not too close to outer edges of eyelids, or your eyes will feel "sticky." First, open/close the eye and observe where the fold forms (somewhere in the middle of the eyelid). Then peel off the strip and apply right over where the fold is expected (this is why you need both hands when applying the strips). Once the strip is attached, run your finger over it to smoothen it out. For the "uncomfortable" comment part, I did feel the large-sized strips, to the point where they gave me a headache. Thus, I imagine wearing them only for a short period of time, and only if needed. I am much more comfortable wearing 4 mm, which I anticipate may become a part of my daily routine along with eye makeup. -Regarding the comment that "strips are difficult to remove." I suggest not rushing the process of strip removal, and avoid pinching the eyelids. I always remove the strips by their corners. I hope this helps. I do love this product, especially becasue I am not brave enough to consider eyelid surgery and because I LOVE how these strips make my eyes look. Highly recommend.

I am 62 and my eyelids are so droopy that it has become uncomfortable. I feel that it is affecting my vision. I ordered the starter kit so that I could try all sizes to see what worked for me. It took a few times to figure out how to put them on. When practicing you can keep using the same one several times to see how to place it. Sometimes I put them too high and it made my eyes look worse, and sometimes I put them too low and it looked weird. Considering you are working in such a small space, there isn't a lot of room for error. Once you figure it out, it gets much easier. Now that I wear them often, I have gotten very good at putting them on in seconds. I do try not to grab them at the very end with the tweezer as it tends to make them not adhere as well at the very end. I try to grab them just slightly in from the end. I grab them so that i am holding the strip on the outside of my eye instead of by my nose. I find it easier to see. I also lift my eyelid ever so slightly before placing on my lid. I just recently read that someone grabs them in the middle/top, I might try that. I have worn them and asked good friends if they could see them and most people could not see them at all (of course they are all my age and don't have great vision). But I even asked my daughter's friends, and they said they would not have noticed them until I pointed it out. I have found that a eyeshadow pencil works best. I goes right over the strip, and looks the same on my eyelid as it does the strip. I find that powder shadow doesn't really adhere to the strip. Honestly, I would go without eyeshadow if I had to. My eyes look so much better with them on, no amount of eyeshadow make them look as good. They come off easily with oil based makeup remover or with a little more effort with just soap. I mostly use a drop of coconut oil before soap and they slide right off. I was recently on vacation and didn't have my oil or makeup remover. I was wearing them every night (not usual), and honestly forgot a couple times and just washed my face with soap and went to bed. I washed my face in the morning and realized I still had them on, so I wore them all day at the beach. After a day on the beach I would remove them in the shower. So they stay on. I can't afford to have surgery at this point in my life. This is a great alternative.

Sólo las e probado 1 vez, no se notan nada, se siente un poquito raro al principio, pero te acostumbras. Todavía no sé cómo se verán con pintura en los ojos. Si hace su función de abrir el ojo, se ve menos pliegue en el parpado

Don't waste your money.

The price is expensive , seems according to the fine cut and material used .. I have used others from China , they did the same job exactly, no difference, but those have many sizes to fit the needs, for me I know which size to use from other brands so I am fine with others.. at the end of the day , they are very good, but expensive !

This is the third time I’ve bought and I will continue to buy them. They work exactly as they advertise. Takes a little getting used to putting them on but practice makes perfect.

I have tried multiple products on the market for my hooded eyes and can’t afford surgery. Either they didn’t stay on, or the colour, or size was incorrect!. My Beautician introduced me to taping about 8 months ago and I haven’t looked back. It’s been a game of trial and error. Trying nearly every product on the market for hooded eyes, without requiring surgery. I stumbled across the,”Lids By Design”, and they are my correct tape for my eyes. Sorry about the rushed photo and application of the tape,(usually you can’t notice the tape) but I thought at the last minute to post a before and after picture. Of course, I couldn’t get it exactly right, but I think from the picture that you can get the idea of the results? If I do it properly, no-one can see the tape.. As you can see my eyes(Left eye in the picture) are quite hooded without the tape, in the first photo. The second photo, I have used the 4mm tape, which I use daily. You must apply it to clean, dry skin and into the natural fold of your eyelid. Using tweezers(I purchased a really good pair that are quite pointy, from ,”Lids by Design”, even though they come with plastic tweezers). I then use either the thick end of the tweezer to run over the tape, or a cotton bud. Then press down for a few seconds with my fingers. I don’t use eyeshadow, so I can’t comment on that, but I use mascara, which I usually curl my lashes and place mascara on after that. I have old Mascara on in the photo. I prefer the light colour of the tape than brown, or skin colour. (They are very obvious on my skin) But everyone has their own preference. The variety packet is great value for money, as it has different sizes for each occasion. I rarely review anything, but the tape from ,’Lids By Design”, is worth paying the extra money. The quality, versatility, useage, for, me , is definitely worth it. I hope this helps.
