{Tested} Victoria McGill Eye Defining Contour Strips
——————————————————————————————————————————————
One company, Victoria McGill, promises its EyeDefining Contour Strips (retail value: $9.99 for 16 strips) will give you a “non-surgical eyelid lift… instantly!” The strips are made from a “comfortable and discreet” crescent-shaped adhesive coated with “makeup-gripping” material to hold liner and eyeshadow, according to the Victoria McGill website. Just “moisturize the eyelid area, apply the strip, apply makeup,” and your “sagging eyelids will disappear instantly.”
We sent it to our FOF testers to try. Was this the best lid lifter they’ve laid their eyes on (and laid on their eyes)? Read on to find out.

How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
My eyes look amazingly better. A male co-worker remarked on how good I looked one day. I can’t afford surgery so this is the next best thing.
Were they easy to apply?
I recommend using an eye makeup remover to help remove them. It can really [hurt] if you just pull them off. Now that I’ve seen the results, I want to have them on every day!
Would you recommend this product to other FOFs?
I’m thrilled and will be recommending them to all of my friends who could benefit from them.
Will you continue using this product?
I just ordered my first month’s supply!

Carole Grinstead – Sylvania, Ohio
How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
I just have to say that I was overwhelmingly surprised at how well this product worked! I don’t have particularly droopy eyelids, [and] I really didn’t expect to see a difference. I couldn’t understand [how the product] could possibly work. Wow–was I wrong! Instant, dramatic improvement.
Was the product easy to apply?
[It was] comfortable and easy to apply makeup over. My headline would be, ‘A big thumbs up — I wish you could see before and after!’

Stephanie Silver – Bridgeville, PA
How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
[I noticed an] amazing positive difference. This is such a simple and amazing product. Good things do come in small packages!
Was the product easy to apply?
[It] took no more than a few tries to get maximum results. The location of these strips will vary by user. They were so comfortable, I forgot I had them on (except when I looked in the mirror and was reminded how much better I look with this product applied. Also, interesting extra benefit [my] vision [was] better. [The] pressure on my eyeball was distributed differently, and this, of course, affects vision.
Will you continue to use this product?
This is a great safe, easy product to use. Price is so reasonable for the results obtained. A fantastic idea!

Lisa Dunmore – Mission Viejo, CA
How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
They showed an obvious difference in my eyelids after applying.
Was the product easy to apply?
It’s important to read the directions thoroughly before applying to understand the process. There are also diagrams to aid in proper placement. They are very small so I found it a little challenging to apply. The color blended nicely with my skin color and I didn’t wear any eye makeup to cover it, as suggested. They definitely showed a marked difference.
Will you continue to use this product?
I would wear them for special occasions, with eye make-up.

How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
My friends could not see them until I pointed them out.
Was this product easy to apply?
Once I figured out where on my eyes was the best placement they were quite easy. I like the fabric feel of these strips as I have used a plastic type strip in the past.
Will you continue to use this product?
These were superior to those [ones I’ve used in the past] but the price point would be the deciding factor for me.

How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
A big difference.
Was this product easy to apply?
I did have a little difficulty, the first day. I had to pull them off and reapply [them] a little lower, but they still worked. The second day I carefully placed them in the correct spots for my eyes.
Will you continue to use this product?
I will order these and use them regularly when I need a lift!
——————————————————————————————————————————————
How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
My eyes looked about 60% better.
Was this product easy to apply?
The first day was difficult getting the location right and get a lift. The second day was easier and I left them on all day. I now have used the strips for 4 days and I believe I have the hang of it.
Will you continue to use this product?
I like them and would purchase them.

How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
From scale 1-5, I give it a 4, because I have medium skin tone [and] need to find the concealer
to match the color of the strip. It lifts my eyes, makes them appear 60% better, larger and
younger looking. [It’s] as good as a surgical eye lift. Great for a special occasion if you want to
look at your best.
Was this product easy to apply?
A little practice will do the trick. [You] need to find the correct spot to put it on, not too high or low.

Megan Sterner – Germantown, MD
How much of a difference did you notice when using this product?
There seemed to be a slight difference to my eyes.
Was this product easy to apply?
I did have some problems applying the strips, which the insert states is normal in the beginning. Also, I found that if you take it off and reapply, the adhesive doesn’t seem to stick as well. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The color of the strips matched my skin tone which was nice.

Lillian Poole – Claymont, Delaware
Was this product easy to apply?
I found the application of the strips difficult. It took me several times and many
adjustments to get them in position still not sure if I got it right. On the positive side,
they blended great with eye. The color of the strips and the material were not noticeable at all.
