ART HARDING'S Instant Face and Neck Lift (Light)

I love this product. So easy to use and lasts 6-7 hours before slippage. They are not reusable and they should take that claim down! Buy replacement tapes. You'll want more!!! I have been using for video and photo shoots and parties for over a year now. Men have no clue! LOL! Friends can't figure my look out. Shhhhhh! I get tons of compliments and I FEEL YOUNGER AND MORE ENERGETIC!Anyone that says these didn’t work didn’t do it right.Photos: The lighting sucks on these. After applying the wig I decided my eyebrow could use a lift. Thus I did brow lift after the pic with wig and didn’t reapply wig for photo shoot by accident. oops.Tips1. Be sure and use alcohol on your skin where you want to place the tapes. I had to lift and replace once and that didn’t work out so well the be careful applying right where you want them. I clip hair back so I can see and not get hair stuck in tape.2. Figure out the placement first by pulling on skin from various directions so you don’t fold skin oddly before applying. The angle and tightness of the elastics over your head for check lift is important and different for each person. Experiment.3. For the eye brow lift, I used a claw hair clip in the back of my head to encore the elastic (from a second set)4. After I use them I reload them right away so when comes time to do my make up next time it takes me no time to apply. To reload I take old tape off the elastics with a seam ripper, cut and thread the new tapes on. Figure out which side is the paper side and thread metal staple to that side for better camouflage when you apply to skin. I keep alcohol, tissues, seam ripper and scissors all together with tapes. Fast and easy.5. Buy 2 sets so you can do 3 areas if desired. Neck, checks and brow if you want to.6. I would advise you to tape refills too. You don’t want to run out of tapes when you need them. I wish they sold the tapes in bigger lots and cheaper. Kind of silly $6-$7 for 10 tapes. But I have looked and these work the best. If I find them cheaper I will buy!7. Removing the tapes; Ouch. Don’t pull up. Draw and roll across skin slowly and hold skin down with your other hand. Leaves sticky residue. Spirit gum remover works to get it off. Then wash with soap and water.

Since my grandmother had been contemplating a "lifestyle lift," I suggested she try this first. So I purchased it for her hoping to find her a more natural alternative. Unfortunately my plan was a bust as the casing for this product wound up being more useful than the product was itself. We followed the directions to a tee, and I'm confident that scotch tape could do a better job at lifting someone's face and neck than Art Harding's Instant Face Lift and Neck Lift kit. The adhesive strips didn't even stick more than five minutes, not to mention that the width of the strips made them hard to disguise. Hands down, this product was the worst one I've ever spent my money on. It was so bad that I actually bothered to make my first product review on Amazon.

09/08/21: I'm updating my review. I brought it down from 4 stars to 3.The reason for the downgrade is: The very first day that I received my kit, it was at night. I tried it and it was wonderful. However, the next day, at 2 PM, when I actually needed to wear it for a job interview on Zoom, the tape wasn't sticking.It was hot that afternoon and the skin on my face was perspiring just a bit. It was not as if perspiration was rolling down my face or anything like that - it was just natural perspiration on the face on a hot day. I had to get a small fan and blow it on my face to get it to dry out completely. It was only then that I was able to get the tape to adhere to my skin.So, with that said, the tape works well, but only comfortably and without worry that it's going to unstick and fall off, if the temperature is cool. If it's on a hot and/or muggy day, it won't stick or it might even fall off. The same thing happens if you've just taken a shower and dried your hair. Any remaining dampness on the hair somehow affects the skin next to it, such as on the upper side of the face near the ear.I'm assuming that this could not be work without worry to a dinner dance where you will be moving and bouncing around while you dance, because that will cause perspiration.It seems to me, based on my own personal experience with the product, that it's great for an event inside a house or other inside venue, where there isn't going to be a lot of physical activity involved that would naturally cause perspiration, and in a place that is not warm/hot/muggy/humid.Original review:I just received my kit this evening and I tried it tonight. I tried the one for the neck first; it doesn't work because the elastic string that the tape attaches to is WAY TOO SHORT, so it does not reach both sides of the neck. It's USELESS for the neck!It's a different story for the face! The string and plastic mechanism that you put on each side of the cheeks and pull up is FANTASTIC! Within seconds I looked 10 years younger! The marionette lines were gone and some of the criss-cross lines on the sides of the mouth around the chin were significantly diminished! I mean, people, this thing is MAGICAL for the face! I pulled gently on it to see if the tape would snap away from the face - it stayed on! It was also VERY EASY to put on. It worked perfectly on the first attempt!This is AMAZING for ONLINE JOB INTERVIEWS, which is what I bought mine for! If those MF'ers are going to unlawfully discriminate against us based on our age - THEN WE WILL F'ING FOOL THEM and level the playing field!!!!!Ladies, all I can say is, based only on my own personal experience with this kit - buy it for the FACE! Good luck and enjoy your much younger look!

This was hilarious to try out on my mom! Five stars for the simply fact that we could not stop laughing at how different she looked. She has tried to use it several times but we can’t seem to get the product to hold for a long time. We aren’t sure if we are pulling it too tight. We did all the prep correctly but once makeup is applied it tends to disable the product. Unfortunately my mom has short hair which doesn’t allow the product to be hidden well. But I believe this would work for someone else with the right circumstances.

It works. But the little tape is visible on the sides of the face. I don’t see how one would hide them, as they need to be securely stuck to the skin (and not the hair) in order to stay affixed. The only use I can see for this where the sticker tabs wouldn’t be immediately visible would be using it behind the neck.

I lost alot of weight so my face does sage these bands do help pull the wrinkles back. I feel more confident. I wish more tapes came with the refill package.
