I have double eyelids, but when my eyes are fully open, it looks like monolids. Only if I raise my eyebrows, then can see my double lid. People call it 'hidden double eyelids'. My double eyelids are not very stable, sometimes they appear wider when I wake up, sometimes they just turn out to be monolids.
I used to wear the traditional double lid tape if my eyelids are not in good condition in the morning. Those tapes are able to create a perfect shape of double lids, but somehow looks unnatural. Moreover, I always got trouble with applying eyeshadow with those tapes on.
Here is how it looks. It's so obvious that everybody knows I'm wearing double eyelid tape, without looking close to my eyes.. -_-|||
I've been looking for better solutions to solve the problem, till one day I saw the recommendation from Jen (fromheadtotoe: review of wonder eyelid tape) about the Wonder eyelid tape.
It's double sided tape and is different from traditional double eyelid tape.
It's never easy to find those products in Singapore, but finally I managed to get packs two from overseas. The full name of this product is Wonder Eyelid Tape by a Japanese company named D-up.
There are 60 pairs of tapes, one applicator and an instruction inside the package.
It gives a detailed instruction on how to apply and remove the tapes, but in Japanese!!
It comes with three separate pieces, each has 20 pairs of tapes.
There is a cut in the middle of each strip for easy removal.
Tape on the applicator
Squeeze the applicator to make it to be round shape.
My bare eye, you can see that my double eyelid is very tiny. :D
Place the tape on the eyelid, which should be slightly higher than your natural crease.
Use the applicator to gently press on the tape and then open your eyes, your eyelid will be sticked together and it looks like a real natural double eyelid.
How it looks if I close my eyes. You won't see any tape on my eyelid, but a odd shape line. I definitely need more practice to make my eyes look more natural.
Note*: Stick the tape before any makeup to make it lasts longer.
Been wanting to try this but I find it so expensive. I've been using the normal tapes for YEARS. Actually I dont mind people know I'm wearing tapes... but having it less obvious is a bonus :)
ReplyDeleteDo you happen to know where's the best place to get them less costly? Thanks.
Wow, it does work though! I do have lids but I want it larger ! hehehe
ReplyDeleteI have exactly the same 'hidden double lids' like you, but my eyes look even more monolid (than yours) when they are open, because I have very heavy and puffy eyelids in addition.
ReplyDeleteThe wonder eyelid tape does look invisible! Maybe I should try it out too! ;)
Hi,Enaj, I got it from ebay, which is around 17USD each including international postage. I agree that it's pricey than normal tapes.
ReplyDeleteHi,Nikki, glad to see you again, how are you doing recently? I'm always jealous of people with wide double lids.
ReplyDeleteDear Jess, my eyelids are heavy and puffy too!! It's worse if I drank too much water before sleep.
ReplyDeleteThere are many sellers in Ebay selling this tape and Jen herself start to sell this tape in her blog (frmheadtotoe) too. You can go and check it out.
thank you for commenting!
ReplyDeleteYour eyelids looks very natural there with the tape :) I heard that if you wear the tape frequently enough the lid becomes used to the shape and you wont need the tape anymore!
Hi, Nic, that's my ultimate goal!
ReplyDeleteHi What abt you apply make up on top of the double-sided tape? Is the tape look obvious when u close ur eye? I have problem when I use the single sticky sided tape .. After put eye shadow just make the tape look much more obvious than without eye shadow.. Wondering will this new product have the same problem?
ReplyDeleteHi, it's not as obvious as the normal eyelid tape, but there will be a line on my lid, as you can see from the 2nd last picture. I think this tape won't get more obvious after put eyeshadow. I used this tape in the recent EOTD : http://beautyontheway.blogspot.com/2010/07/eotd-vivi-ice-blended.html
ReplyDeleteIs there a difference between the pink or blue container& which do I apply first make up or the tape? Cause frmheadtotoe applies make up first then the tape.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for posting this up! I don't mind that people know I use the sticker it's just how they stare :x awkward. It's frustrating that one of my eyes have the lid so I'm planning to try this one out!
Hi, pink one is mild for sensitive skin and blue one is extra hold. Extra type's adhesive tape is harder than mild tape, which is more popular than the pink one. :D
ReplyDeleteI actually found a website selling this tape too. I used to buy from ebay until I stumbled upon this website!

ReplyDeleteBtw is it hard to remove the tape cuz i dont want to leave my eyelid red and puffy? Or does it come off easily with warm water or oil?
Hi 4_HwangS,
ReplyDeleteI normally use eye makeup remover to remove the tapes, you may want to try.

Do you find your head hurting and/or eyelid nerves feeling differently than normal? I ask because that's how I feel. Just wondering if I'm alone in it.
