No one said anything or judged me, but putting on tape every morning made me feel quite worthless. So I stopped. Of course I don't think anyone else who uses eyelid tape/glue is "worthless", and I don't think there's anything wrong with tape/glue. It's a person's choice. I still think double eyelids look better, but I guess I judge myself more harshly than others so personally I would never wear them again.<br /><br />Like Jen said, if you feel good about it and are confident about it, you won't be phased by what anyone else says. In my case, it lowered my self esteem whenever I put them on so I stopped. Do what feels right to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265224172200387426.post-36714331825545377542009-04-29T17:46:00.000-07:002009-04-29T17:46:00.000-07:00Elizabeth: I've actually had a lot of people ask m...Elizabeth: I've actually had a lot of people ask me this on my blog. Honestly, I don't get asked about it because most people don't notice. The majority of people I encounter day-to-day haven't been exposed to eyelid tape and really don't know I'm wearing them. Most of the Asians in my life already know I wear them and are either supportive, don't mind, or don't notice. Actually, a very large number of extended family have also been through the tape/glue or surgery process so I grew up with the idea that it wasn't really controversial.<br /><br />If someone were to ask, I would be totally honest. To me, it is just makeup. I get double lids when I wear false eyelashes sometimes too, so should I not wear them to preserve my single eyelid? I like double lids because makeup is easier to apply and I can be more creative with it, not to mention I don't have eyelashes falling into and scratching my eyes all the time. My eyeliner and mascara doesn't smudge. It does feel like a practical thing for me, and if it didn't have these benefits I wouldn't wear it. I don't think I look that different anyway!<br /><br />Basically, just be confident and do what makes you feel happy and comfortable. They are your eyes and it isn't hurting your or anyone else to wear them, so why not? BTW, if people pull the "trying to be westernized" card just ask them if white women get their lips plumped to look more black. :PJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858824950570845790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265224172200387426.post-58374814200006310022009-04-29T17:24:00.000-07:002009-04-29T17:24:00.000-07:00Hi Jen,

I use eyelid tape like you, and I was wondering if you've experienced judgment because you use it. And if yes, how you've reacted. I think there are mixed feelings out there about the use of eyelid tape, esp among the Asian community. I understand that my use of the tape is a personal choice and that people should keep their opinions to themselves, but, it would be interesting for me to know how others who use it feel about the issue.
