Better, with certain limitations
I have used other kinds of sticky tape strips on my eyelids, and I think your success with them depends on two factors: First, there is a learning curve. You need to know how to apply them properly. You Tube videos help. Second, you need to have realistic expectations. Eyelid lifts will not work miracles, and everyone's eyelids are a little different. Obviously, the results will be different depending on one's age and ethnicity. If what you really need is to have your eyebrows lifted, eyelid tapes won't help that much. Having said all that, I must say that these eyelid lifts do work better than the self-stick kind -- at least for me. They're more flexible and certainly a bit less noticeable under eye shadow. They come in different sizes, and size does matter. But the description they provide on the Amazon page gives you a pretty good set of guidelines for different eye shapes. The glue that comes with them is like eyelash glue, but I think it works better. The tools they give you are pretty useless. I just use my own tweezers. I found it was hard to remove the lace from the backing unless you use tweezers to grip the fabric in the middle and pull from there, rather than trying to peel them away from the edges. This distorts the shape of the lace a little bit, but it reverts pretty quickly after you apply the glue. The instructions say to apply the glue to the lace while laying it on a little plastic pad they provide. I found it works just as well or better to apply the glue directly on your eyelid. A couple of official You Tube videos I found for this particular product show people doing exactly that. The glue sticks to your fingers if you try to handle the tape, so you have to be careful of that. And the tapes do sort of itch a little bit after you apply them, maybe from the glue, but not so much that you need to scratch them off.Now, with all that said, I do feel I need to add one more thing that pertains more to Amazon reviews than to the product itself. When I opened the package for these tapes, a note fell out that offered me a "FREE GIFT" if I would "submit a review on Amazon of [my] (great) purchase experience and send [my] order ID to our email below . . . ." For my troubles, I would get another set of eyelid tapes.Call me priggish, if you will, but I do not approve of this sort of gentle bribery. I have placed a lot of value on honest, unsolicited reviews on Amazon, and this practice really undermines my trust -- both in the potential reviewers and the company -- and not just for this particular product. I realize that Amazon can't control what kind of special offers fall out of packages we get in the mail, but I do feel obliged to make them, and anyone who reads my reviews, aware of the situation.

63 year old eyes changed!
I am 63 and I'm shocked every time I happen to look in the mirror!This product is perfect for the droopy eyelids that go with being sixty something, and its only going to get worse! However, this eyelid tape is a perfect solution for me and its easy to handle and apply.The width is the widest I've found. I purchased a narrower tape which was very difficult handling and applying so I looked for a wider tape and tried this.I applied the tape where my lid folds, applied some glue then stood in front of a fan for a minute.I like this product. It changes my appearance dramatically in my opinion. I feel it gives my eyes a more youthful look.I highly recommend!

Awesome product for someone that has delt with hemi facial spasm
Read Great product! I had been diagnosed with hemi facial spasm and as my eye was getting better, I read that glue or tape could help my now left eyelid which was lower down than the right. I purchased the small and medium, the medium worked great for me, it really works perfect! I had previously tried glue, which was not easy to use, this is by far easier to use and looks so good, I am definitely ordering more! And it really helps keep my eye open, I used to have alot more issues of keeping it open without the lace fiber.

Seemed intimidating but SUPER easy. Perfect application the first time!
Wow! What a difference! I wish someone had made this product years ago. As a teenager, applying eye shadow was different for me than for my friends. They didn't have hooded eyelids like I do. Back then I didn't know what hooded eyelids were; I only knew I had to use a different technique for smoky eyes than what was demonstrated at makeup counters and in magazines.This is my first experience with eyelid tape so I can't compare this to other styles. What I can say is: these are SO easy to apply. I watched one YouTube video a month or so ago, and read the seller's instructions... and voilà! they were in place and even. Oh, and invisible! On my bare skin they were completely unnoticeable. Additionally, they did not stick out from the new crease at all. I want to experiment more with makeup application. Powder, cream, liquid, matte, shimmer, glitter, etc. It seems as though at times it may be best to apply makeup first and then the tape and other times it may be the reverse, or something in between like makeup, tape, makeup. Lastly, I use coconut oil as my makeup remover so I did the same for these and they slid right off my lids without any tugging.

This eyelid tape works great!! I have hooded eyes and unfortunately developed some ptosis in one eye about two years ago. I didn't want to nor could afford to pay for cosmetic surgery and had to live with one droopy eyelid since.. I had to use more eyeliner on one eye to make both my eyes look more even and I even had to change my picture-taking angle because it was just too noticeable. Having finally gotten fed up with it, I looked into eyelid tapes and chose this one, and I'm so glad I did! I chose size Medium because my eyes are pretty small but I now had to match my hooded eye with the droopy one, so I went a size up and it totally works. It takes a while to get used to, especially if you haven't used eyelid tape before, but once you have it down it only takes seconds to apply. It's very comfortable and the glue that it comes with doesn't irritate my skin and it works really well. Like other reviewers have mentioned, it does show when you look down, but eyeshadow will definitely fix that. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and highly recommend it!
