Contours Rx Lids by Design – N°7 Instant Eyelid Lift Strips for Dramatic Lift on Hooded, Droopy Eyelids – Medical-Grade, Anti-Aging, Non-Surgical Eye Tape – 80 Count

This was something I bought on a lark and have been pleasantly surprised with their effects! They’re super easy to use/apply offering noticeably improvement without making you look like a different person. Just younger and more refreshed! There is some finesse to choosing where you place them on your eyelid, as their placement (obviously) alters your end result. But I’ve not had a bad result yet. Only differing levels of positive change in the look of my eyes. I opted for the no 07 for my initial purchase and am still working my way through them. I don’t wear them daily, but easily could. Takes seconds to apply and they do stay put. Once placed, you quickly become accustomed to them being there and forget about it altogether. Personally, I’m a very pale lil WG and they are somewhat visible with lids closed, but I don’t think it’s something terribly noticeable during conversation, or whatnot. They don’t play the best with makeup- as they’re plastic and not porous enough to absorb some makeup to aid coverage. I’m sure there are tips and tricks available. Either way, it’s a terrific product when the only other options are invasive and pricey injections or surgery. 100% worth the purchase! Give them a try and find a new version of YOU and your best self! 😉

These do not stay glued properly. Once they start coming off, they curl up and twist, which makes them extremely difficult to put back on and basically impossible to reuse properly. Another major issue is that they are NOT truly transparent. If you wear makeup or have a medium/tan skin tone, they are very noticeable against the skin. Instead of blending in naturally, you can clearly see where they are placed. Between the poor adhesion, the curling once they lift, and how visible they are on the skin, I was very disappointed with this product. I would not purchase them again.

Although the strips work as advertised, they are very hard to place perfectly. The edges are often visible with eyes open. When closed they look so tacky. And they lose their stickiness if you try to move them/adjust. But, still better than a botched eyelid lift. Cost a lot less too. I’ll keep trying until I run out, but probably won’t buy again.

I have EDS and bought these to help lift my lids which always feel heavy and make me tired as my muscles have to work even harder than they already do. It wasn't really a looks issue for me as more of a desire for my eyelids to feel less heavy. I give 3 stars because it does do what it claims. But unfortunately they only made my eyelids feel heavier now having a strip of plastic on them. It does life the lids but it does nothing to ease the burden of a heavy lid. So if looks is all you care about, they do work! But for the purpose I was hoping for, they failed to fit the bill. EDIT: So after giving these a longer try, I am actually suprised to say that the muscles used to keep my eye open do seem to be more relaxed because of these strips. While at first it felt like adding something heavier to my lid, after getting used to the feeling, now it does seem like my muscles have gotten a break. So not only do they open the lid, they may help with forehead wrinkles created by muscles used to keep the eyes open. I change it to 4 stars because the one issue I see is that if you don't peel them perfectly off, the corners don't stick flush onto your lid and can be seen. I have seen come that peel along the edge of the card and I wish they would implement that.

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.

The product works. As you can see from the photo below, where I applied it to one lid and not the other, it raised my lid and largely wasn't visible. HOWEVER, it was challenging to apply correctly. It took me several tries to even apply one side, using up several of the stickers. (You can't pull and reapply the strip. Every time it was misaligned, I had to pull it off, toss it and start with a fresh one.) Maybe application would get easier with practice, but this isn't something I would be doing on a daily basis, especially because it seemed to pull at the skin upon removal which would (I think) make the skin looser over time. So, I would likely only apply it for special events (graduation, wedding holiday party), when I am wearing makeup. BUT when I applied makeup, it made the strip SO MUCH MORE VISIBLE. Maybe if you applied some kind of thick eyeshadow (like glitter) the strip would remain largely invisible, but it didn't work for regular eye shadow (this was the shadow stick from Thrive Cosmetics). In the end, it was a pass.

I love these eyelid strips! I have had droopy, asymmetrical, excessive, “baggy”, awful eyelids since elementary school. This is the first product that actually makes a massive improvement that lasts all day. The strips have become an essential part of my cosmetic routine. In my “after” photo, you can see one lid is a little nicer than the other. I can apply the strip more carefully than I happened to today. The picture is a true representation of a quick application of the strips. Things you should know if you’re a first-time user: 1. You will probably blow through 20 strips in a row just figuring out how to get them on and how to get them to sit correctly on your eyelid. You will eventually get the hang of it, and it’s worth it. Thereafter, you will probably still mess up 25% of the time and start over with a new strip. It’s just how it goes. In my book, it is still SO worth it! When you’re first practicing, you can re-apply a single strip several times and practice with it. But it won’t stay on well for long, so only do that for practice. 2. Some reviews that say the tip of the strip that you hold in the tweezer’s grasp doesn’t ever sit completely on your eyelid. This can be true-ish. It does take practice. I find that holding the strip by the end that is going on the inner part of the lid (i.e., closer to my nose) gives much more reliable results, but it IS a tricky angle to apply. Once the strip is on your eyelid, give it a really good press with your fingers. You can also use a tiny dot of false eyelash glue. But honestly, with practice, this isn’t an issue and I have washed my face with the strips on, and then slept with them on, and they’re still looking good in the morning! 3. If you don’t have good vision up close, get yourself a magnifying mirror for strip application. 4. Do not put ANYTHING on your skin before applying the strip. Don’t put lotion on your hands. Keep your lids grease-free! But you can put your contact lenses in before applying strips if you like. Contact lenses before or after doesn’t seem to make a difference. 5. The less eye make-up you wear over the strip, the better! If you can skip it, great. If not, you MUST apply high quality eyelid primer TO THE STRIP and your eyelid AFTER applying the strip. Be reasonable; this is a high-quality product, but it’s not literally skin or a miracle. Look at user reviews with pictures. Users who have eyelids massively loaded with highly saturated eyeshadow and apparently no primer are the least satisfied users. Users showing good prep and some restraint are happier with the results I hope you get as much satisfaction from these strips as I have!

So obviously I have hooded eye lids. But, a few years ago I tripped and fell down some stairs and landed on the right side of my face. Ever since then that eye swells slightly throughout the day and definitely when I wake up in the morning it takes time to drain. I've had trouble with my contacts being uncomfortable, even impacting my vision ever since and couldn't figure out what to do. I saw these advertised to me and got the idea to just try. I ordered the one with different sizes because I didn't know which one I would need. This actually helps the slight swelling and hooded ness of my eyelid. It confirms I need the surgery, but until then I'll use these guys. My contacts are much more manageable when my eye acts up (I hate my glasses) and doesn't drive me crazy. They can be removed and replaced, the adhesive is done well. They stay on all day, and even through my exercise classes where I sweat. I wish I could do half stars because the only downside I can figure is the instructions that weren't very clear. I figured it out, but the delicate skin around my eye took the hit the first few times. I've ordered more in the same size that I decided worked best for me. I might get a larger size as I get used to them.

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.

Exactly as described and delivered on time. Great seller, thank you

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 !

J'ai un problème de paupières tombante et asymétrique. Le surplus de peau qui crée une double paupières, et le problème est plus important sur mon oeil droit. J'avais besoin d'un produit avec colle sur un côté seulement. J'ai acheté les 4mm et c'est parfait pour moi. Les tapes releve un peu ma paupière droite et rend mon regard plus symétrique. Pour moi le produit fonctionne parfaitement. Ils sont dispendieux parcontre et j'espère un jour trouver un alternative plus économique...
