not all do, but it also depends on where you put it.. you can use a little transelucent powder on it to dull the shine..

Try the Proflex No Shine tape. Also cut the tape into 3 horizontal pieces so that is is smaller and that will help. The Proflex No Shine, although it says it doesn't have a shine, it still does a little, but it is not as noticeable. Just dab you finger on the edge where it is applied and the usually takes care of it.

I use supertape and it has a definite shine.  I just dab some foundation powder on it with a q-tip(after I have crumbled the powder a bit... while it is still in the foundation case).  The foundation is the same one I use on my face.  It blends good and looks even better on the next day (don't know why though).  It is a quick fix and I prefer it because the tape holds so so well.
 
Hope that helps~

I am so sorry, but you had me ROTFL because you are so expressive and funny! From your writing and description of your reaction, I could just picture your disgust when you discovered the shine.
 
Thanks for the laughLOL 
 
...and follow Breh's and Sexi's advice...

for those of you that use supertape and have shine issues try putting it on the opposite way when I first started using supertape i noticed a shine but when I used it the reverse side i didnt notice anymore shine.

I just ordered some supertape. Which side is the "shiny" side? I bought the roll not the strips.

i never put the tape at the front of my hairline, i only use adhesive there.. i restrict my use of the tape at the nape and maybe at the corner of the sides by the ears..other than that i'm strickly adhesive so i don't see any tape shining thru..

I bought some toupee tape by Vapon at Sally's and it didn't want to stick at all.  I have Proflex no shine an it slides after placement. I like tape but can't get it to work.

On the strips it's the side with the printed words SuperTape that's the matte side....but on the roll I can't tell.
