Double eyelid tape is a tool that allows you to temporarily change or enhance your eye shape. It is essentially an adhesive strip that is placed on the upper eyelid. Specifically for people with monolids — lids that lack a crease — the tape can create the appearance of a double eyelid, making the eyes look bigger or stand out. And for those with double eyelids, it can help to reduce drooping or sagging that may come with aging or other issues.
Most eyelid tapes are either medical-grade adhesives, fiber (lace or mesh), or silicone tapes. While the medical grade kind is probably the most long-lasting, it can be irritating for some people. Alternatively, silicone may be a better option for sensitive skin as its usually waterproof and hypoallergenic. The fiber kind is very comfortable, but you have to be careful not to get it wet as it may slip off.
