how to apply

Peel. Place.
Perform.

About five minutes from pack to stage. No liquid liner, no shaky hands. Here's how to get a look that lasts all competition day and comes off clean so you can wear it again.

01

Prep your skin

Start with clean, dry skin. Do your base, eyeshadow and hair spray first, and keep oily creams away from where the sticker will sit.

02

Lift with tweezers

Use the precision tweezers to lift the sticker from its backing by an edge. Tweezers keep fingerprints and oils off the adhesive side.

Add a little glue

For all-day, stunt-proof hold, brush a thin layer of Tripped long-wear glue on the back and let it get tacky for a few seconds. It dries clear.

Place & press

Look straight into a mirror, line the sticker up with your lash line or brow bone, then press gently for a few seconds. Repeat on the other eye and check they're even.

Remove & reuse

After the final bow, peel slowly from the outer edge. Place it back on the original backing and pop it in the case, ready for next weekend.

Comp-day tips

Pro moves

Apply early

Put stickers on at the hotel or at home, before warm-ups, so the glue has time to fully set.

Team assembly line

One parent preps, one applies, one checks symmetry. A full squad goes quickly this way.

Pack a touch-up kit

Keep a Just The Essentials pair in the team bag for any quick fixes between rounds.

Store flat

Keep stickers on their backing in the case, out of hot cars, so they're ready for the next event.

Safety first

For young athletes & parents

  • Do a small patch test on the arm a few days before the first event.
  • Keep glue on the sticker and off the eye itself. Never apply to the lash line's inner rim.
  • Younger athletes should apply and remove stickers with an adult's help.
  • Remove slowly. If a sticker resists, dab the edge with a little makeup remover rather than pulling.
  • Stop use if any redness or irritation appears.

Glue ingredients: Water (Aqua), PEG/PPG-8/3 Laurate, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer.
