I recently had the opportunity to try Contour RX Lids by Design, and I must say, they truly live up to the hype. These non-surgical eyelid tapes offer an instant solution for those struggling with heavy hooded or drooping eyelids, providing a noticeable lift that can transform your appearance in seconds. Hence, they are called ‘the push up bra’ for your eyelids.
Previously I had spoken with a doctor about eye lift surgery, and they advised a wait a few years to maximise the impact. In the meantime, I am happy to find a non-surgical route to a more open appearance to my eyes.
The most impressive feature of Lids by Design is their immediate impact. Applying the strips was straightforward. The instructions were clear, and with a bit of practice, I was able to position them correctly. My first attempt I have to say was not quite right, making a little pucker in my eyelid but by the second time I had nailed it!
You simply place a strip in the crease of the eye. Choosing from small to large depending on the severity of the eyelid droop. I choose medium size to start and applied using the handy tweezers that come with the kit. Be warned the strips are very sticky and you need to apply to a clean eye before applying any makeup or products. The transparent medical-grade adhesive strips blend seamlessly with the skin, making the strips invisible.
The result is instantaneous. My eyes appeared larger and more open.
Lids by Design on the left. You can see a more open eye and reduction in creases as well as a wider eyelid.
The pack contains a range of sizes and on reflection I think I can downgrade to the small if need be. You can also by packs just in your size once you find the perfect one.
One of my concerns was whether the strips would feel uncomfortable or restrictive. However, they were surprisingly comfortable to wear. I hardly noticed they were there. They stayed in place throughout the day without causing any irritation, which is a testament to the quality of the materials used.
Lids by Design come in various sizes, from No. 3 to No. 8, catering to different eyelid shapes and degrees of droopiness.
Aside from the lift, another significant benefit was how much easier it became to apply makeup. With a restored natural crease, applying eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara was more effective and I had less residue from my mascara on my upper eye, a pet hate of mine usually.
At £33 for 80 strips or £25 for the assortment pack, Lids by Design are a cost-effective alternative to surgical options.
The product has garnered attention from notable figures in the cosmetic industry, including Dr. Paul Nassif, one of my absolute favourites!
I highly recommend Contour RX Lids by Design to anyone seeking a non-invasive, affordable solution for lifting drooping eyelids. Whether you want to enhance your appearance for a special occasion or simply wish to look more youthful and awake in your daily life, these eyelid tapes are an excellent choice. Their ease of use, comfort, and impressive results make them a standout product in the realm of cosmetic enhancements.
