Eye-Makeup on Hooded Eyes
As a half-Asian gal, I get the fear of eye-makeup and think about how my eyes look more than I care to admit. But with these non-surgical lid lifters (see it as a push up bra for your eyelids…) it instantly opens your eyes and gives you the lid space you never thought you could have (without a hefty price tag).
If you aren’t already familiar with Lids By Design, courtesy of Contours Rx, then where’ve you been?
These eyelid strips are created by people with hooded eyes for people with hooded eyes.
Founder of Contours Rx, Britain Todd, shares how to apply make-up with Lids by Design®
AVOID OIL-BASED MAKEUP OR MOISTURISERS
I don’t recommend using any oil-based primers, makeup or moisturizers over the strip as they can interfere with the adhesive.
NO NEED TO COVER UP TRY A NATURAL LOOK
Lighter, matte neutrals can be applied directly on top of your Lids By Design® strips without need for primer. Because LBD strips are so transparent, there’s no need to cover them with foundations or shadows — only if you want to!
TRY A SMOKEY EYE WITH A TRANSFORMING SHADOW BASE
Apply Transforming Shadow Base after placing your Lids By Design® strips and before applying eyeshadow to prevent smudging and creasing while also minimizing lines and wrinkles. Then add darker shadows and shimmers as you usually would for that perfect smokey eye look.
