Boob lift tape can be an indispensable resource when it comes to outfits with plunging necklines or challenging shapes. Additionally, its versatility makes it the perfect solution in strapless or braless situations.
Before applying the tape, ensure your skin is clean and free from lotion. Pasties or cotton pads over your nipples may also help reduce friction for added peace of mind.
Apply the boob lift tape on the outer side of the breast.
No matter the dress or top you wear, apply one strip of tape on each breast’s outer side – starting from beneath the bottom breast and moving up towards your shoulder following its contour and supporting its nipples for a more defined bust look.
Apply the tape higher, just under your armpit, or even right up to your neckline for additional support and cleavage. Just ensure that the skin is free from lotions, oils, or moisturizers so the tape sticks better.
If you’re wearing a strapless dress or top, an alternative variation of this technique includes using shorter horizontal strips. For this look, begin by cutting a strip of tape that measures 12 inches long.
Apply the tape on the nipples.
Boob lift tape can be an amazing way to maximize the look of any outfit without needing a bra, yet can be tricky to remove when trying to take it off. To avoid discomfort during removal, it’s recommended that you lube up the area beforehand; baby oil works great but olive or coconut oil works just as well.
As you prepare to remove the tape, Montes suggests starting by applying vertical strips on the outside of your breast and pushing them inward for lift and cleavage. She further recommends adding a strip close to your nipple for more definition of shape.
Make the tape fit the curves of your chest for a more natural appearance by carefully cutting pieces out as you go. However, always do a patch test prior to applying the tape!
Apply the tape on the bottom of the breast.
Boob lift tape can add lift and definition to the breast area when worn under backless, strapless, or plunging neckline dresses and tops, similar to celebs Kim Kardashian and Cardi B. Before applying boob tape to your skin make sure you first perform a patch test so that you understand its compatibility with your skin – and avoid applying lotions, oils or powders directly in the area you plan to tape.
Montes recommends cutting a horizontal strip of tape that runs from under your arm to past your nipples or bottom, then stretching and pulling your breast inward until desired cleavage has been attained. When this has occurred, add vertical strips running toward the top of your bust; two to four will likely suffice depending on which breast is affected by this procedure. You should repeat this process for both breasts.
Apply the tape on the top of the breast.
Boob lift tape provides bra-free support and cleavage when worn under dresses and tops with plunging necklines, or those that showcase bra lines underneath your clothing. Ruched or fitted silhouettes may also benefit from using this product, so always make sure your skin is free from moisturizers, creams, or oils as this could prevent the adhesive from adhering properly resulting in a wardrobe malfunction.
Start by applying one strip, approximately 12 inches long or slightly larger than your chest width, under one armpit and on either side of one breast, under each arm. Next, add two more strips on either breast that lean toward your nipples for support and more cleavage.
Before beginning, it is advisable to do this task in front of a mirror so you can ensure the tape is applied symmetrically on both breasts for an even lift. Once finished, carefully and slowly peel away the tape using a cotton ball or swab soaked with body oil, olive oil, or Vaseline.
