So let's get started! 

The Dos of Lids by Design Application

  1. Do Start with Clean, Dry and Fresh Eyelids

The most important thing to nail the application of the Lids by Design strips depends heavily on how you prepare your eyelids. Cleanse your eyelids thoroughly before application to remove any makeup, oil, or debris. Oily or damp skin can prevent the adhesive from sticking properly, leading to premature lifting or visible strips on the eyelids. Use Eyelid Prep Pads to prepare the skin for optimal LIDS BY DESIGN longevity.

  1. Do Choose the Correct Size

Lids by Design comes in 6 different sizes to cater any hooding from subtle to dramatic, unlike other brands that offer only one or two sizes. You can take their quiz to determine the best size according to your eye shape, size and hooding.

  1. Do Practice the Application

With Lids by Design practice is your perfect partner. The more you use the strips the better you get in applying them naturally and effectively. If you’re new to Lids by Design, don’t expect perfection on your first try. Practice applying the strips a few times before wearing them out. Make sure to have good lighting and a compact mirror to see clearly the natural curve of the eyelids. 

  1. Do Adjust the Position of the Strips

Lids by Design work by lifting the excessive skin hanging over the lids and neatly tucking them in. Place the strip on your natural eyelid crease, then gently press and hold the strip for a couple of seconds for a good bind between the skin and strips. This gradual application ensures a smooth, natural-looking lift. Avoid rushing the process, as this can lead to uneven results.

  1. Do Remove Gently At the End of the Day or At Night

Removing the strips from the eyelids is an easy process but rushing it can cause redness and irritation. As the strips are adhesive based, a strong bond between skin and the strip is the key. Use a gentle makeup remover or soapy water or oil or moisturizer to loosen the strips, then peel them off slowly. Follow up with B5 prep pads to keep your eyelids hydrated and clean. 

The Don’ts of Lids by Design Application

  1. Don’t Apply on Oily, Moist Eyelids

The most important thing before applying Lids by Design strips is cleansing and exfoliating the eyelids for best application. Avoid applying the strips immediately after using skincare products, as oils and moisturizers can interfere with the adhesive. Moisture or oils can reduce the adhesive's effectiveness and may cause the strip to lift prematurely.

  1. Don’t Reuse the Strips

Lids by Design each box comes with a little over a month's supply so don’t be stingy when using them. If a couple of strips get wasted initially, you are still covered for the entire month. Reusing them can compromise the adhesive and lead to poor results. Always use a fresh pair for each application to ensure optimal performance.

  1. Don’t Apply the Strips Too Low or Too High

The Lids by Design strips are designed to be placed at the natural curve or the crease of the eyelids. Placing them too high will create new folds on the eyelids as it will push the skin down and applying them too low will make them more noticeable and interfere with your eyelashes.

  1. Don’t Expect Perfection on the First Try

Like any new beauty product, mastering Lids by Design takes practice. Don’t get discouraged if your first few attempts aren’t perfect. With time and patience, you’ll become more comfortable with the application process and achieve the desired results.
