How To Apply Double Eyelid Tape

An eyelid is a thin fold of skin that covers and protects an eye. What about a monolid and a double eyelid? A monolid is when the upper eyelid doesn't have a crease above the last line or doesn't fold at the top - mostly found with Asian eyes. But, double eyelid does.

Double eyelid tape or sticker is a beauty trick designed for those with a small crease, with a crease, with droopy eyelids or with uneven creases to lift/fold the eyelids and sagging skin around the eyes. The result is your eyes will look bigger and noticeable. Those completely without a crease are better off using eyelid glue. If you use the tape, it's bound to show. Some people might ask, does it make you double eyelid deeper? I don't think it looks deeper at all.

Here's how I apply:

Applying this sticker is quick and easy.

Step 1
Cleanse your eye area before using eyelid tape. If you want to apply eye makeup, do it after you put on the tape.

Step 2
Gently apply eyelid tape above your eyes near eyelash line.

Tips:
- The more higher you paste, the more thicker your eyelid will look.
- If the eyelid tape is obvious, try trimming the side.

Step 3
Use eyelid applicator to make adjustments so that your eyelid looks more natural. Hold the applicator with the curve in the fork curved in the same direction as the curve of the eyeball. Push inward on the eyelid until a crease appears.

GOOD LUCK!!

Product Review: Nature Republic Morning Fruits Body Lotion

This is from Nature Republic lotion, specifically morning fruits range in grapefruit. It's creamy in texture. It's comfortable on the skin and yet you can enjoy the fruit's smell on your skin. I like the smell very much. But, unfortunately it doesn't last long. Too bad, isn't it? As for the price, this is really quite decent. Not much I can tell about this product...

My Collection of Face Masks

Face masks are an important part of any skin care regimen. But, why is that important? Regular cleansing only removes surface dirt and grime, but only a facial mask can actually draw out impurities from beneath the top layers of the epidermis. Mask not only helps exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores, it also helps stimulate blood circulation and leave your skin feeling smoother and softer. They are also a great way to feel pampered and relaxed actually :)

I love to switch masks every now and then. I have a few sheet masks here which I got it from Nature Repulic at a local shopping mall. While for Dermal, it was given by a good friend of mine who visited Korea a few weeks ago. She gave me 2 pcs only, but I wished she could give me more... haha :) Both Nature Republic and Dermal are Korean skincare and cosmetics brand. All I can say is they are really good and it works so well on me. The instructions say to leave it for 20-25 mins for Nature Republic and 15-20 mins for Dermal, but I always extend it for another extra 15 mins until it dries up (but not too dry). I love the feeling after that as my face is so moisturized and refreshed. I absolutely love these masks. If you ask me, will I repurchase this mask? My answer is definitely YES!
