Shape Tape VS Bye Bye Undereye

[sunshineluv]

Has anyone used both? I love bye bye undereye, but all the hype of shape tape has me considering trying it out.

I need to buy concealer, should I stick with what I know? Buy both?

Shape Tape. You can always return it if you don't like it. The Bye Bye Undereye was too heavy for my eyes so I use it as a spot concealer.

[Pippin]

I hated Bye Bye Undereye so I'm biased but Shape Tape is so much better.

I've used both and I prefer Shape Tape. While BBUE does give me more coverage in one layer than Shape Tape, ST doesn't cake if I add a smidge more to the really dark parts. I have a hard time with BBUE in the summer between the heat/humidity. This isn't an issue with ST. I also don't have to mix ST to get a color match, unlike BBUE.

What is it that makes Shape Tape so spectacular?

I like MAC concealers, specifically the ones in a pot. One pot will last you a long time.

Shape Tape provides a lot of coverage without getting cakey and has serious staying power.  If you add more you can still blend without losing it all.  

I can't compare BBU because I've never used it, but I was a serious doubter and Shape Tape lives up to the hype.

I don't have to use a setting powder and it doesn't crease halfway through the day. Gives really great coverage too! I have very dry under eyes and look haggard if I use powder under them. I was a total skeptic too, but it's working out for me.

Shape Tape for life over here. I didn't understand the hype until I used it. It's so creamy, gives awesome coverage but isn't thick or heavy feeling. I have different colors and use the lighter shade to highlight and conceal my under eyes and one that matches my skin tone for covering blemishes and redness.

I have both and prefer shape tape. I like the yellow color of the bye-bye, but shape tape is better overall for me.

I've used both and Shape tape wins for sure.

I guess that settles it! Shape tape it is.

If you haven't bought yet, maybe consider the Nars soft matte concealer. I'm really digging it lately.

If you do get Shape tape, just be warned that the wand is HUGE. So I dab the wand on my hand and then use my finger to pick up small amounts of the concealer, adding more as I need it.

Shape tape wins for me.

I used BBU for a year. Compared to shape tape, the bbu is much more greasy and hard to blend. The color of bbu didn't work as well as shape tape.

The only negative of shape tape for me is the packaging. It is like a lip gloss package - redip the applicator every use. The BBU was in a squeeze tube, which is much more sanitary.

[mortomo]

I like both and use them for different things. I use shape tape under my eyes and BBUE for blemishes. If I ever run out of shape tape I will be content with just BBUE. Part of it may be that I can't seem to get a good color match in the ST and BBUE colors seem to be more forgiving.

I've used both and SHape Tape takes the cake for sure, it just covers so perfectly, I don't feel like Bye Bye U/E did anything for me at all.

[secretlyevil]

Another user of both, its Shape Tape by leap and bounds.

I'm the odd one out; I've used both and vastly prefer BBUE.

Shape tape did end up a little cakey on my dry skin.

Me too I guess. In terms of coverage shape tape was amazing. However, now matter how much eye cream I used it dried the shit out of my undereye area. So cakey, so dry, so many creases. I literally looked 100 years old! It was awful but my experience is clearly an outlier.

I'm continually amazed this hasn't happened to me. I can't use powder at all in that area, or I look like the crypt keeper. I will say that I tend to go easy with the ST and just barely put enough on to cover my dark circles and blend out. How did you blend it out?

I tried my fingers and a beauty blender. I tried a lot and a little. Perhaps part of my problem is that I have serious dark circles that span my entire undereye so its hard to get away with so little product.

gummy, If you still have the ST, try layering a color corrector underneath, then do ST and blend using a stipple motion with a brush. I use www.sephora.com/product/pro-airbrush-concealer-brush-57-P313020?skuId=1419480&icid2=products%20grid:p313020 but I think you could get away with a fluffy, yet densely packed brush.

I'm the same. I tried so hard to love shape tape because after shipping and duty, this stuff cost me $60. I've tried everything under the sun to get it to look good, but it just doesn't work for me. Someone recommended Physician's Formula insta ready concealer and holyyyy shit this stuff is amazing.

I think I currently like Shape Tape & Kat von D Lock-it equally. The Kat von D is a better color match but they both cover great.
