Lids By Design: Tips and Tricks to Keep the Strips On All Day
Lids by Design, an innovative beauty product from Contours Rx, has been making waves for its ability to deliver immediate, visible results. If you have hooded, droopy, or tired-looking eyes, you know how it can make your entire face appear dull or aged. While invasive procedures for addressing these concerns are costly, painful, and time-consuming, Lids by Design offers a non-surgical alternative that lifts and enhances the natural beauty of your eyes, leaving them youthful, fresh, and awake.
However, as with any adhesive-based product, proper application is key to ensuring the strips stay in place all day long. After all, no one wants to deal with reapplying their beauty products throughout the day. The goal is to keep things discreet yet effective, achieving lifted, contoured eyes that look fresh and bright. To help you get the most out of your Lids by Design strips, we’ve put together some tips and tricks to ensure they stay put from morning to night.
Understanding Lids by Design
Before diving into tips for application and longevity, let’s take a moment to understand what makes Lids by Design so special. These ultra-thin, adhesive strips are designed to create a lifted effect on the eyelids by gently tucking in the loose skin that hangs over the lids. Specifically created for individuals with hooded or droopy eyelids—a common issue as we age or due to genetics—Lids by Design strips blend seamlessly with your skin tone, making them virtually invisible.
The strips come in six different sizes, allowing you to choose the right one for your eyelid’s unique shape and desired lift. The strips are lightweight yet strong, providing support for up to 24 hours without feeling heavy or uncomfortable.
Tips and Tricks to Keep the Strips On All Day
1. Start with a Clean Slate
For the best results, always apply Lids by Design on clean, dry eyelids. Before applying the strips, make sure to remove any makeup, oils, moisturizers, or dirt that may have built up on your skin. Using Contours Rx’s B5 Prep Pads is an excellent way to achieve a fresh, clean surface. This ensures that the adhesive bonds properly to the skin, allowing the strips to stay in place all day long.
2. Properly Remove and Apply the Strips
When you’re ready to apply the strips, be mindful of how you remove them from the sheet. Using your fingers or nails directly can disturb the organic adhesive, causing the strips to peel or appear visible. Instead, use Contours Rx’s specially designed Precision Tweezers. The needle-like tip of these tweezers allows you to grab the smallest portion of the strip without disturbing the adhesive. Gently pull up the excess skin on your eyelids and apply the strip smoothly for a flawless, all-day lift.
3. Ensure Longevity Throughout the Day
Lids by Design strips are delicate and require precision during application. With practice, applying the strips will become second nature. However, during the early stages or for special occasions (or even during hot, sweaty weather), you may need an extra boost to ensure the strips stay in place all day while remaining completely transparent. Contours Rx offers a solution with their Extended Wear Adhesive. Simply apply a thin layer of this adhesive to areas that need extra hold before applying the strips, and you’ll enjoy a secure, lasting lift throughout the day.
Conclusion
Lids by Design is a game-changing product for anyone looking to enhance their natural eye shape with a non-surgical solution. With the right techniques and a bit of practice, you can achieve beautifully lifted, wide eyes that last all day. Whether you’re new to the product or a seasoned pro, these tips and tricks will help you get the most out of your Lids by Design strips, ensuring you look refreshed and youthful from morning to night.
