Yes! Our medical grade correcting strips are hypoallergenic, latex free, dermatologist tested, and use adhesive made from organic-based materials that do not leave any residue behind.
To apply LIDS BY DESIGN, simply prepare the eyelid by using our B5 Prep Pads to ensure the eyelid is clean. Identify where your eyelid is folding, carefully remove the strip from the applicator paper using tweezers (we recommend our Precision Tweezers), and place the strip across the identified fold (tip: lift any excess skin out of the way by lifting the brow so the strip can be placed on a smooth surface.)
Yes! For best results, our correcting strips should be applied to bare skin before any makeup, oils, or moisturizers. We recommend using our B5 Prep Pads to prepare the skin for LIDS BY DESIGN. We also recommend using our new Transforming Shadow Base over the eyelids once the strip is applied to create one smooth surface before applying your makeup.
Yes! Designed for use by all genders, our correcting strips utilize skin-like technology that is translucent and comfortable enough for all-day, every day wear.
For the longest wear, apply the correcting strip to clean, dry eyelids – free of all oils, makeup, and moisturizers. When applied properly, the organic-based adhesive is designed to last up to 24 hours. We recommend using our B5 Prep Pads to prepare the skin for optimal LIDS BY DESIGN longevity. We also recommend using our new Extended Wear Adhesive for longer holds.
Each package contains 80 strips.
In general, the heavier your eyelid (excess skin), the larger the size you will need. However, eye shape may also be a factor in selecting the appropriate size. Please read our LIDS BY DESIGN product descriptions to choose your ideal lift and fit, or try our Lids by Design Assortment Pack (N° 4-N° 7) to try all options and discover your perfect size for every occasion!
Remember, placement may take practice. We recommend using our Eyelid Prep Pads to prepare the skin for LIDS BY DESIGN so you can practice placing up to 3x. If you don’t get your ideal placement on the first try, simply remove the correcting strip and reposition as needed. Once you have found the perfect placement, remove the practice strip and replace it with a fresh strip for all-day wear!
Each LIDS BY DESIGN correcting strip is intended for one-time use only. The correcting strips may be reused to practice placement, but otherwise should be discarded once removed. If you need to reposition the strip, we offer our Extended Wear Adhesive for longer lasting wear.
Yes! Our safe, non-irritating materials are suitable for contact lens wearers.
Results are immediate and will last all day as long as you wear the correcting strips!
No! The organic-based adhesive material separates cleanly and completely from the skin. Use our Eyelid Prep Pads to fully clean the lids after removal.
Our correcting strips are designed and intended for use only on the upper eyelid.
Each LIDS BY DESIGN box includes 80 correcting strips (over a month’s supply) and a pair of applicator tweezers, plus a few strips to practice with.
Placement takes practice, like anything new. Take a look at our tutorials on proper placement online at ContoursRx.com or our YouTube channel "Contours Rx®".
Ensure that your skin is clean and dry, free of any oils, makeups, or moisturizers. We recommend using our Eyelid Prep Pads to prepare the skin for LIDS BY DESIGN, as edges sticking to dead skin or dirt will lift. Additionally, it's important not to touch the strips with your fingers or thick tweezers, as this will interfere with the delicate adhesive and they will no longer be translucent or stick! We recommend using our Stainless Steel Tweezers to peel and place LIDS BY DESIGN onto the eyelids.
Although the strips are not reusable, you can use one that's been improperly placed over again as a practice strip until you find your perfect placement! Remember they will not be translucent or sticky but you can still find placement with them. When you find your sweet spot, put a fresh one in that location!
This experience is usually an indication that the size you selected was too large for your eye. Another sign of this is that looking up is uncomfortable. Try going down a size or two. Once you find the correct size and placement, it should be very comfortable and unnoticeable on the eye! Still confused about which size to get? Try our Assortment Pack and you can try every size!
Thick tweezers are not designed for application of our delicate strips. The delicacy of LIDS BY DESIGN is what makes them comfortable and translucent, but this also means they must be handled with care. Our specially developed tweezers are the thinnest available, which means they touch the strip as little as possible, and limit the risk of damage.
There are a couple of reasons why this may be happening: (1) you may have applied the strip by swiping across it rather than pressing and holding, the more you press the more it blends with the skin tone (2) the skin may not be fully dry or clean (no oils, makeups, or moisturizers) when applying the strip! We recommend using our Eyelid Prep Pads to prepare the skin optimally for LIDS BY DESIGN.
You may need additional adhesive on the corners. For this, we recommend our Extended Wear Adhesive to give you the extra hold and transparency you're needing. Remember, it is very important that you press and hold the strip to the eye, especially the corners, for several seconds to ensure a strong bond. If the corners are still lifting, try gently exfoliating the eyelid as the strip is likely sticking to dead skin and therefore lifting without a good bond. We recommend using our Eyelid Prep Pads to prepare the skin for LIDS BY DESIGN as it gently exfoliates and removes dirt from the eyelid.
If you did not notice a difference when using LIDS BY DESIGN, this may be an indication that the size you selected was too small for your eye or placed too low. We recommend experimenting with higher placement or try going up a size! We offer hassle free exchanges within 30 days of receipt.
The strip and the skin are two different surfaces, so makeup will inherently take two different ways. To avoid this, use our Transforming Shadow Base over the strip and eyelid to make everything one smooth surface. This pencil was specially designed to work with the strips as it is oil-free and will not interfere with the adhesive! Make sure COLORSET rests flush with the edges of the strip when applying, then your shadows will adhere evenly and be more pigmented!
Most likely, transparency is determined by how well LIDS BY DESIGN is bonded to the skin. You should always first try the press and hold technique to ensure LIDS BY DESIGN adhesive has blended in as much as possible to the skin tone!
This means that the strip was placed too high, and rather than blocking the natural fold, it folded with the excess skin. To prevent this, place LIDS BY DESIGN where the sagging skin is folding (which can be located by the indentation line of that fold).

NECK RESCUE Common Concerns
The adhesive for this strip is very strong because we don't want it falling off during your special occasion! This means when you are ready to remove your strip, be patient, go slow, and use warm water with some oil to gently remove the strip. A good tip is to start in the center with warm water and some oil, working your way back and forth to the edges until the adhesive releases.
Redness can be normal as we have been pinching the skin for hours. Remember to use oil to help break the bond before gently removing . This product is hypoallergenic and latex-free, however there is acrylic in the adhesive, so be sure to read the label and avoid if you have an acrylic allergy. There is also a chance too much skin was placed under the strip and this is creating an irritation.
NECK RESCUE is discreet, however the skin it is supporting may be more visible in the back of the neck. We suggest wearing a collar or scarf if you have shorter hair, or wearing your hair over this area!
Some users may have a lower hairline or baby hairs on the back of the neck, it is important to lift all hair out of the way of the strip and prepare the skin using our Dermal Blades to avoid hair-pulling during removal!
Unlike LIDS BY DESIGN, which can be worn easily everyday,NECK RESCUEwas designed for special occasions. After you've secured your hair and prepared the skin, take off one side of the backing and place the strip on one side of the neck. pinch the skin toward the center of the strip and lay the other side over as you take off the other side of the backing. If you are still having trouble, try asking for assistance, perhaps from someone who is getting ready with you.
