What are hooded eyes?
People with hooded eyes typically have a less visible crease in their eyelid, which can make their eyes appear smaller or more narrow. This eye shape is most commonly seen in people with Asian, Middle Eastern, or Mediterranean ancestry, but it can occur in people of any ethnic background.
Hooded eyes can be a natural trait, or they can develop over time due to age-related changes in the skin around the eyes.
Do eyelid tapes really work?
Eyelid tapes, also known as double eyelid tapes or eye lift tapes are small strips of adhesive material used to temporarily create the appearance of a crease or fold in the eyelid or to lift drooping eyelids.
Here are some potential benefits of using eyelid tapes on hooded eyes:
-
Creates the appearance of a double eyelid: For people with hooded eyes, the skin above the crease often droops down and covers the eyelid, giving the appearance of a single eyelid. Eyelid tapes can be used to create a temporary crease, giving the appearance of a double eyelid.
-
Lifts drooping eyelids: As we age, our eyelids can begin to droop, making our eyes look tired and older. Eyelid tapes can be used to lift the eyelids, making the eyes look more open, brighter, and youthful.
-
Boosts confidence: Many people with hooded eyes feel self-conscious about their appearance. Using eyelid tapes can give them a boost of confidence and help them feel better about the way they look.
-
Suitable for all eye shapes: Eyelid tapes can be used by people with a variety of different eye shapes, including monolids, hooded eyes, and asymmetrical eyes. This makes them a versatile option that can be used by many people.
-
Non-invasive alternative to surgery: Some people may consider undergoing eyelid surgery to create a double eyelid, but eyelid tapes can offer a non-invasive alternative. Using tapes allows people to achieve the desired look without undergoing a surgical procedure.
-
Can enhance makeup: Eyelid tapes are a great makeup hack, they can help to enhance eye makeup by providing a smooth surface to work with, and by creating a more defined crease.
It's important to note that eyelid tapes may not be suitable for everyone, and it may require some trial and error to find the right fit and application technique.
It's also important to remove the tapes before sleeping and to not use them excessively, as they can potentially cause irritation or damage to the eyelid skin. Additionally, eyelid tapes only offer a temporary solution, and the effect may not last all day.
