Eyelid glue, commonly called eye putty,^[1] is a type of eye make-up used in East Asia. An easily removed water-soluble adhesive, it is painted on the upper eyelid, which is then pushed upward with a plastic prong and held in place by the adhesive. This creates or enhances a fold in the eyelid (a "double eyelid") that opens up the eye exposing the eyelashes. It is considered a sign of feminine beauty in much of East Asia, though also used by men.

A variant called eyelid tape or crease tape comes in a fibrous elastic strip that is trimmed to shape and placed on the eyelid.
