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

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’m sorry I couldn’t give this item a favorable review…..but it simply did not work for me. There are 20 contour strips on each sheet. Before forming my opinion, I used them for 10 days. I studied a YouTube video to make certain I was applying them correctly. The first day absolutely no change with the drooping eyelid. Each day I moved the positioning a little bit thinking that would get a better result. All in all, this product did not work for me. Perhaps others would have better luck.

Sorry for the lengthy review but there’s a lot to be said about these so please bear with me. I’ve always had heavy droopy eyelids but they’ve gotten significantly worse as I age. Saw these on an online ad (on Instagram I think) and took a chance ordering the 7 mm Lids 80 pack. 7mm is for those who have a lot of excess eyelid skin. They are much bigger than the smaller ones so keep that in mind when you’re ordering. Especially the larger sizes as they’ll be more noticeable. It’s not as easy to place them as it looks. It depends where your eye folds down the most and you have to finagle the strip a little. You’ll have to be sure your eyelids are squeaky clean or they won’t adhere as well. The corners will lift if you use the tweezers there so I pick them up from the middle of the lid strip. Took about 4 strips on each eye to get it right. Or at least as right as I could. I took off a star because they aren’t easy to put on and need to include at least 4 practice strips. Like putting on false lashes, it takes time to learn what works best for you. Anyhow, as you can see it’s a very noticeable difference. I’ve got NO makeup on at all and these were taken minutes apart. Here’s where they lose another star: makeup. You can see them if you have eye makeup on, especially if it’s dark makeup. I tend to use lighter more neutral colors like pinks and beiges but people can still see the strips when you look down. Are they perfect? No. Do they stick well? Yes. Does it take a lot of practice to put them on? Yes. Are they worth the $35 compared to the other brands for $8? I haven’t tried the others but these look a LOT more transparent and not like mesh where you have to use adhesive. That’s why I went with these. So I would say worth the price difference. I’m forever trying wrinkle creams and serums so at $35 this wasn’t an expensive loss for me compared to all the other junk I bought that didn’t work. I’ll be working on ways to hide them a bit more and testing different eyeshadow methods and colors to see if it helps. What I did really like was that once positioned correctly, I couldn’t feel them. That was definitely a plus especially if you’re wearing them all day. Hope this helps!! Good luck!

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.

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!

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 my Contours Rx Lids By Design. They really work well with my hooded eyelids. I use them most days, and I feel like they really help keep the skin back and make my eyes look more open—a great quick fix, especially if you don’t want to have surgery like me. The more you use them, the better you get at positioning them correctly. Make sure to wipe your eyelids off before placing them so they stick well—great value for what the product does.

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.

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.
