Note to self: try it out with The Face Shop’s Face It Baked Eyeshadow…
Even if you don’t use double eyelid tape, it works very well as an eyeshadow base.I only need one very light layer and it completely covers the double eyelid tape.It may look a tad darker than my skin tone here, but when I apply it onto my eyelids, it’s the perfect colour (I promise to take a photo soon!).
I don’t usually spend money on MAC products cos I think they’re rather pricey, but I forked out the money for this cos I think it’s quite a godsend to those who have to use double eyelid tape everyday (aka me). However, I still prefer to pretend that I’ve got naturally lovely eyes – which is why I invested in a MAC Paint Pot.
Plus, with the proliferation of popular bloggers such as Xiaxue and Qiuqiu using it loudly and proudly, it became more socially acceptable to use this (and be seen using this). 3M also started producing proper double eyelid tape, but this came in a full roll.Ī roll like this could last me for about an entire yearĪfter several rolls / years, pre-cut double eyelid tape became more widely available. By then, I had already perfected the art of slicing the scotch tape up into the perfect gentle arc. I then progressed on to the smarter choice – using the more expensive 3M Scotch tape which was matte – this went on relatively undetected for a couple of years.
Of course, this was a clear fail, since sticky tape was glossy and totally reflected light, resulting in my friends exclaiming “what the hell is that on your eyes?!” Back in 1995, I had already started slicing up normal sticky tape to apply onto my eyelids – I’ve got uneven double eyelids as a result of a fall when I was young. Here’s yet another one of my shameless self-praise moments – I totally caught onto the double eyelid tape trend wayyyy before anyone else.
