Eye Talk... Big Eye Envy

I am the first to admit, I have eye envy. I wasn't blessed with big wide eyes with a crease (also known as a double eyelid). When I found out about Eye Talk eye lid glue, I *had* to try it.

I was skeptical when I first tried it that it wouldn't work and that I would look like a person who had undergone really bad plastic surgery. I was pleasantly surprised how natural it looked and after a little experimenting I figured out how to use it-- though it should be noted that I am NOT an instruction reader which is why it took me some time to figure it out.

The Eye Talk kit comes with a bottle of glue that goes on with a brush (think of a bottle of white out) and a tool that helps set the eyelid. You brush the glue onto the part of the lid in an almond shape between your lash line and your brow line. Let it dry and repeat. Then use the little stick to poke your eyelid back to form the crease. Now, this product may not be the right one for someone who has issues touching her eye because you do have to push your eye lid back. But if you're a contact wearer and you're not squeamish, then you'll probably be fine.

The glue goes on white and dries clear and does not mess up eye shadow (at least not the powder shadow I used. I'm not sure about cream eye shadows though). Your eyes stay wide all day until you remove the glue. I used eye make up remover on a cotton ball and it did the trick. Depending on where you place the glue along your lid, you can change the crease line and the shape of your eye.

I give this product 4 out of 5 stars. I take one star off because it was a little tricky to figure out at first. I'm sure if I had even looked at the instructions or watched one of the many online videos now available showing how to use the product, it would have been easier.

Eye Talk sells for $12.99.
