Made my own Eyelids

I couldnt find any cheap anywhere, so I made my own. Bought some black vinyl, made a pattern out of paper, traced and cut it out. I tried to apply them dry yesterday, but it didnt work. I did it today using the wet method, still a bit tricky, but got it to work, no bubbles.
I got the exact look I was wanting.

Good work. Not a huge fan of vinyl eye lids but cant beat it for the price.

Thanks, yeah I just like it because its subtle, but gives it just a bit more aggressive "meaner" look.

It looks very nice! Only thing is.. it looks to me like the left eyelid is bigger than the right eyelid. Or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks
