While skincare is crucial in the fight against ageing, there are certain things that even the most meticulous skincare routine can’t fix. One such issue is drooping eyelids, which can start to sag over time as the levator muscle, responsible for holding up your lids, stretches and weakens with age.
Even though a good eye cream can delay this process, usually the only way to completely rectify sagging lids is through a surgical eye lift. However, former The Only Way is Essex star Lydia Bright has discovered an incredible product that delivers the same results as an eye lift without the need for surgery; the Contours Rx Lids by Design Eyelid Lift Strip, available on Amazon for £32.75 here (was £34.47).

Lydia posted a video of herself testing out the eyelid strips on her TikTok, where she can be seen meticulously using a pair of tweezers and her fingers to position the strips on her eyelids. After applying the Lids by Design strips, she uses the flat edge of the tweezers (included in the set) to ensure it’s smooth, before letting it adhere to where her lid naturally folds, giving her eyelid an immediate lift.
To use the strips, you need to start with clean, dry skin, so make sure there’s no leftover eye cream or serum on your lids. You’ll want to place the strip at the inner corner of your lid where the crease begins and continue to follow the line across to help minimise its visibility.
Contours Rx does say it can take a while getting the hang of applying its strips, as it might take a few tries to perfect the technique. They offer a variety of widths from 4mm to 8mm, allowing you to choose based on your desired look and the size of your eyelid area and crease, reports the Mirror.

While Lydia’s fans said they couldn’t see a dramatic difference, Amazon customers were thrilled with the results. One customer exclaimed: “They actually work! A bit fiddly at first but with a little patience and practice got success. Glad I bought the assorted sizes as now know the best one for the future. Thought price was a little high but now I know they work and the amount of strips in the pack them ok.”
Another satisfied user shared: “I was quite surprised by the difference these strips made to my eyes. I’m 70 years old so my eye lids are very hooded. I went for the 7mm size as needed the maximum lift, I could have bought the 8mm but plumped for the 7mm size and it really did the trick and made my eyes look far more open. They are comfortable to wear and stick very well. I thought they would be difficult to use but I found them easy to use.”

If you’re more into serum-style solutions, or if your under eyes are your main concern, the StriVectin Tighten and Lift Hyperlift Eye Instant Eye Fix, £30.40 here (was £38), has also been hailed for delivering immediate temporary results. This treatment is designed to instantly tighten under eye bags and lines and eliminate the crepey texture that can come with age.
It features a leave-on formula that you simply dab onto your under eye area using your fingertips. Try to keep a neutral, expressionless face while it dries.
Once set, it forms an invisible support system for eye bags and lines, without leaving any visible residue.
