Eyelid tape is a specialty product and may be difficult to find in some stores, depending on where you live. However, you can always buy it online. An alternative to buying specialty eyelid tape is to buy athletic tape and cut it yourself. To cut your own eyelid tape, cut strips of athletic tape into small rectangles and round the corners off. You should now have small ovals of tape. Cut the ovals in half and round off any sharp edges. [3] X Research source
Some brands of eyelid tape may hold up better if you apply a small amount of eye-shadow first. Experiment with different brands and find what works for you. [5] X Research source
Gently place the back end of the applicator on your eyelid and blink to find where your eyelid creases. This is where you will apply the tape. [7] X Research source
You should be able to bend the eyelid tape in an arch by squeezing the applicator together. [9] X Research source Depending on what brand of tape you use, you may be dealing with pre-cut strips, or tape you cut yourself. In any case, you should have a pair of applicators to apply the tape to your eyelid.

You shouldn’t be able to see the tape, and your eyelid should now have a “double” crease. Repeat with the other eye.
There are several brands of eyelid glue, most of which come from Japan. Find the one that works for you.
Once the glue dries you can apply make-up.
Close your eye and run the “pusher” along your eyelid to find the desired crease line. This is where you will apply the glue.
Using glue looks more natural, but may wear off quickly. Reapply as necessary. [15] X Research source
