Double eyelid tape is suitable for people with monolid or inner double eyelids to enhance the appearance of their eyes. However, many people know that double eyelid tape can make their eyes appear larger, but they do not know how to use it. It is important to know that if the double eyelid tape is not applied correctly, it can not only cause discomfort but also easily reveal your little secret. Below, we will teach you the correct way to apply double eyelid tape.
The Correct Way to Apply Double Eyelid Tape for Inner Double Eyelids
The main characteristic of inner double eyelids is that when the eyes look downwards, they appear to have double eyelids, but when the eyes are open, they are similar to monolids. You can follow the method below when applying double eyelid tape for this type of eyelids.
Clean the eyelids and cut the double eyelid tape
Before applying the double eyelid tape, clean the eyelids and observe your eyes to understand the position of the fold for inner double eyelids. Then, use a small pair of scissors to cut the double eyelid tape, making it slightly shorter.
Remove the double eyelid tape and apply it on the fold
After cutting the double eyelid tape, use tweezers to remove it and apply it on the original fold of the eyelid. Take your time and make sure to apply it in the correct position.
Use a hairpin to create the fold
After applying the double eyelid tape, use the rounded end of a hairpin to press and create the fold on the eyelid. Be gentle to avoid injuring the eyes. Finally, slowly open your eyes and blink a few times. You can then proceed with eye makeup. A moderate amount of eye makeup can effectively conceal the double eyelid tape.
The Correct Way to Apply Double Eyelid Tape for Monolids
The characteristic of monolids is that when the eyes are open or closed, the position of the fold is not prominent or even nonexistent. As a result, the eyes may appear less energetic. You can follow the method below when applying double eyelid tape for this type of eyelids.
Clean the eyelids and cut the double eyelid tape
Before applying the double eyelid tape, clean the eyelids and cut a piece of double eyelid tape that fits your eyes in terms of width and shape. Avoid cutting it too wide so that it can hide the double eyelid tape effectively. Then, evenly apply eyelash glue or double eyelid adhesive onto the cut double eyelid tape.

After applying, open your eyes and forcefully lift them upwards. Then, use your fingers to gently press the double eyelid tape to help it adhere to the eyelid. Finally, move your eyes to check if the double eyelid tape is completely adhered to the eyelid. If there are any areas that are not properly adhered, you can use a toothpick or a cotton swab dipped in adhesive to reapply.
