@KCDiva  I purchased this in Fair a couple months ago.  I like it!  I also like the sponge that came with it, although I'm using the sponge for my foundation more than for the Shape Tape!  

 

As for the Shape Tape.... I moisturize well before applying it.  Then, I tap the smallest amount of product on the back of my hand.  I use my middle finger to pick up a little bit of the Shape Tape, and then apply that to my undereye.  I just tap it in, stippling with my finger to blend.  

 

I'm 63.  If not moisturized well, it will settle into fine lines.  But, it's working well for me.  I don't remember the last time I used my Bye Bye Undereye.  That said, I would still try other concealers, so, as much as I like it, I'm not sure yet if it's my holy grail.  Just the best i've found so far.

I'm 58 and do have some undereye wrinkles but not too bad.  I use and like Bye Bye Undereye but fell for the Shape Tape hype.  The first color that the Ulta SA sold me was WAY too dark!  I finally have the right color but it 1) doesn't cover as well as BBU and 2) doesn't go on as well...too dry and 3) settles in fine lines.  I DO moisturize/hydrate well before applying.  At first I tried using it like I see the girls on You Tube do.  OMGosh!  That's enough product, in one application, for 50 women!  But even with a normal, small amount, it's not for me.

I love this! I have bad underye "allergy" circles, and this covers them. At first I got my regular color, which I still use. Then I got a shade lighter (after trying my DD's) and I like it better for under my eyes. I use the regular one to hide anything else on my face. I do use a light, light touch - and I use my fingers, which for me seem to work better. Smiley Happy

Yes I was excited to try it when I got it and and put it on and hadn't properly moisturized. The color is definitely wrong though. I am sure I used to much.  I haven't given up on the product.

I'm 50 with extremely dark, hereditary circles and textured undereye.  Here's how I use it:

 

I do not apply moisturizer, they drag my skin down making me look lined and crepey before I begin.  My serums have enough hyaluronic acid to keep this area supple without added moistuizer.  I know this goes against everything you hear but it works for me.

 

I color correct using a tiny bit of Erase Paste just on the dark area, not the whole undereye.  I then follow with a tiny bit  IT BBE which tends to be shiney and moisturizing.  That's when I add the tiniest bit of Shape Tape in a lighter shade, again just to the darkest parts not spread all under the eye.  I use my finger to tap-in each product.  Then I complete with the lightest tapping of LM Brightening Powder to set-only in the darkest area not the whole undereye area.  No creasing, not drying, stays all day.  I can't emphasize enough the need for the tiniest of product to achieve.  Hope this helps!

Less is more with Shape Tape! When I use it, I use a minimal amount and will build it as needed, I tap it in to smooth, then tap over it with a damp beauty blender sponge. 

 

I have also found that you need to work the product quickly, as it has a fast dry down.

 

Since I am not so young anymore, I don't bake it, that just causes too much settling! Sometimes I don't even set it, if i need to "touch up" I just use a damp sponge and dab dab dab, smoothes it right out!
