face tape

Skin-lifting strips

Face tape is adhesive tape applied to the face to temporarily lift or tighten skin, creating a more youthful appearance or altering facial contours.

It's used in film and television to smooth actors' features, and increasingly in everyday cosmetic routines: She uses face tape to lift her jawline for photos.

The tape is typically hidden beneath hair or makeup.
