Contours Rx 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.

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! 😉

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.

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.

I purchased these last week. My practice application was uneventful and I learned where to apply. When it came time for the first actual non-practice wear, I followed the instructions and attempted to apply to my clean lids. Be aware that anything that touches the sticky part, even the provided tweezers, will "ruin" that area of the product, so the first time it touches your lid, it cannot be adjusted even if the flimsy thing flops out of position as you are trying to apply. The chances of the first touch of the application being correct are slim because it isn’t stiff enough to hold its shape as you apply. Then if you try to adjust the position, you’ll see inconsistencies in the clarity of the material, making it possible for others to see it on your lid. At about $.65 per wear, having to rip off incorrectly-applied units starts to get expensive. I went through six of them the other night before the placement looked acceptable (not perfect). But as mentioned, the area that had been touched by the tweezers (and my finger, once) turned white and didn’t adhere as well. You could see an edge sticking up and they were undeniably noticeable, which defeats the purpose. So I ended up throwing all six in the trash and not wearing them at all. If they were much cheaper (and they could be, as the materials probably cost less than the box they come in), it might be worth buying. I never did get even one to look the way it's supposed to, so it was a waste of money as well as my time. This is an update. I changed the rating to 3 stars because after a bunch of wasted strips, I finally got them to work. It's so difficult. But, if you get one on correctly, it is amazing the difference it can make. It honestly makes me look as if I've had a very good blepharoplasty. I found you can't wear eyeshadow, as it tends to stick to the outer edges of the strip, making them VERY visible. But on the bright side, when I wear these, I look better with no eyeshadow compared to when I don't wear them WITH eyeshadow (I've always used brown eyeshadow in and slightly above the crease make it appear like I have a visible crease). So when I wear these, I use eyeliner on the bottom lid only with mascara on curled lashes above. I feel like I look much younger and prettier with these on. They last all day; I wore a few pairs for two days. They don't look good by day 3, though, because the edges start to show more. The time I tried 3 days they actually slightly irritated my lid and it took a couple days to resolve, though it wasn't terrible. I do think they are expensive and may try to find a cheaper brand if I can find clear ones. If I can't, I'll purchase these again.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised by the results of the eyelid lift strips, it takes a bit of practice but it’s worth it!

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.
