Thank you 😁

[@EsteleenW]

For several years I have wanted to try the eye tape. You always amaze me. Thank you. I would like to see you use the tape over time to see your tips and tricks from your own experience. I wonder if using two tapes on one lid might work better for heavier lids. Just one of those questions I've wondered about the lid tape. Also, some women use the tape non-stop for days to "train" the lid into having new folds. I have always seen that it was not advised to use the tape with eye make up but you did it and Wow! Overall, you did an amazing job as usual. It would be nice to see you use the lid tape over time. Lots of love to you. Great job!

Once I have an eyelid, I have to practice doing make up like that too. I love it. Thanks so much for the video!

The tape still appears, cos you don't use double eyelid tape

[@rachelmorten6104]

Agency in Repose it’s where both sides of the eyelid tape is sticky not just the one side like what she’s using so when both sides are sticky it then sticks in your crease making the tape less visible to see
