I tried D-Up as my first purchase because of the popularity of it in Japan. Yes, that product is super adhesive, but it can also start peeling with oily eyelids throughout the day. But MOST OF ALL, I looked for another product because D-Up poked into my eyelid too often throughout the day if not placed in a Precise angle, and honestly why would I pay for something that's painful throughout the day and would require more than a minute of application per eye?

That's when I decided to take a leap of faith and try out this. It was afterall, half the price and offered more tape. The best part of this product is that the edges are rounded and super adjustable so you can decide whatever angle eyelid you want. It is adhesive enough to last throughout the day, but if you have oily eyes like me, it will start peeling late day (not too adhesive like D-Up but good enough to last throughout work day).

But if you have night plans, oily eye lid no problem. Because it's so easy to apply and adjust, I just take off old one, wipe off the oil, and apply the new one without excruciating pain (where as D-Up ... It'd be bruised red when I try to replace the peeling one. Watch out!)

For first timers, I reccommend starting out with this to gain some experience (especially when you're taking on/off tape since you're practicing). For even late time users, if you're looking for good quality painless process, this would be your to-go. I don't have time in the morning, and because it's so flexible, I take a second to slap it on and I'm good throughout the day.

The applicator and plastic holder is not my favorite, but managable and replacable. I use the white V tool to use instead and repeated use this product through THIS seller. (Other variations of this product is much more expensive offering the same quantity and quality. Be smart about it. 7.90 and it'll last you for 3 months since it gives you 4x.)

Overall, late review, but I have been buying it 3x consecutively and price+quality has always been right.

I've never used any other eyelid tape so I can't really compare it to other products, but I purchased this with the hopes of "permanently" evening out my eyelids as one folds lower than the other, causing it to be smaller than the other.

Pros:
- It claims to be medical-grade tape and I think this is accurate as it stays on my lid all day, including throughout my workout.
- It's invisible since it's clear tape, and covered by your eyelid fold. With natural oils and sweat, the tape turns a white color by the end of the day, but it's hardly noticeable; I only see it when I'm removing it at night to wash my face.
- Pretty easy application. The first few times, it will take a few tries but after 2-3 times, I got a pretty good hang of it.
- Permanent results?!: I did a bunch of YouTube research and came to the conclusion that if I wear the tape 20 some hours per day for 3 months straight, the fold I create using the tape will likely become permanent. Well, I used it for about 3 days straight (using a new tape in AM and PM with my skincare routine) and didn't use it on the 4th day because the skin looked like it was getting a little bit irritated (as expected since I put tape on my skin for days)... and the new fold I created has since stayed! The new fold is still there despite not having worn the tape in 2 days and have taken a shower, washed my face 3 times! We'll see how long this lasts but I'm very happy with the result.
- Good price and decently fast shipping! The 4 pack is going to last me a while, especially since I'm only using it on one eye. And shipping was much faster than expected: it only took 3 days.

Cons:
- If you have sensitive eyelids/ skin, this may not be optimal for you. I used the tape 3 days and 2 nights in a row and by the end of the 3rd day, I saw that my skin was starting to get a little irritated.
- It can be uncomfortable for the eye. First day was the most uncomfortable (especially because I didn't put it on that well) and 2nd and 3rd day weren't so bad but I could tell the tape is there and sometimes my eye would twitch because of it. Maybe over a longer duration of time, my eye will get use to it?

How to use: Remove the white tape first, then take the bottom part of the green eye-fork(?) (the pointy part with ridges) and stick it onto one end of the tape. This will allow you to pick up the tape from the clear plastic without using any fingers (which will transfer oils/ dirt/ etc.). I then stick it directly onto my eyelid (this part is a little tricky, especially figuring out where to exactly put it; but it gets easier over time), then use the top part of the green eye-fork and gently poke into my eye socket, right above where I placed the tape, and voila! - you've created a new eyelid fold!

I love the idea of these as I am a granny with very hooded eyes and like to look good and not so tired. So I don't know if I maybe bought the wrong size - it's possible. It looks like I can maybe use a couple per each eye because when I get one on my eye is still pretty hooded. I can see how these work and it is great. The other thing is these do not come off of the sheet very easily at all. that is the reason I took off one star. The white tape comes off but then you have to get the sticky part off of the clear sheet and they refuse to either bend off or barely come up with a pair of tweezers. I haven't given up completely yet and will check out more video tutorials on YT to see if there are some tricks to getting these blasted things off of the sheet in one piece hahah. I realize these were designed for the Asian eye originally so will have to do more research size wise for myself. They are maybe too narrow for my eye.

The product comes as three separate small packages, so you get 3 green wands and many stickies (in case you mess up). Before applying, I watched a couple of Youtube tutorials. I got it to look pretty natural after 4-5 tries. The tape is somewhat noticeable when blinking. The glue is so strong that it started to hurt after a while. I was also blinking less often and my eyes got dry. Overall, I had a pretty uncomfortable experience and am not looking forward to trying it again. Lesson learned: be happy with natural eyes.

I have been using these for about a week or two now, and I absolutely love them. I have very hooded eyes and one eye is more hooded than the other. It almost appears like I have a lazy eye in pictures and it kinda bothered me. Once I figured out how to correctly put the tapes on (it definitely takes some practice, please be patient!), they made a huge difference and I was so happy.
- For me, the tape isn't that noticeable (I guess because my eyes are so hooded) and the glasses I wear also help conceal the tape.
- I haven't tried wearing makeup over them because I have heard that the tapes will not last as long if you do.
- They will be sort of uncomfortable when you start wearing them, but you'll get used to it.
- I normally wear them for only 4-6 hours and I am slowly beginning to wear them longer.
- I use a little bit of coconut oil on the end of a cotton swab and lightly rub it on the tape to remove it. Ripping the tape off of your eyelid can irritate it. Try to be as gentle as possible.
- This might sound a little strange but if its your first time trying these out, before you put it on your eyelid, take one of the tapes and put it on the back of your hand for a few hours. In very rare cases, some people can be allergic to the adhesive so, its a good idea to test it on your hand first, rather than possibly irritating your eyelids.

These are so awesome and I'm glad I found this method. 10/10 would recommend!
