Hey girl! I too struggle with applying strip lashes. I eventually gave up on them because they would always stick up, look uneven or look too obvious on me. And then!... I found the solution! The key is to cut the lashes into two separate pieces and then apply! Or cut into 4 pieces and do the same if it is easier :) hope this helps!

I used to be lash-impaired as well. All I can offer is watch a TON of videos on YouTube! Gyaru makeup tutorials are really helpful... Watch them till you can't stand it! The other day I tried and got my lashes on perfect in one try :)

Omg yes! I always end up poking myself in the eye or have to reapply them a few times before they sit right.

Have you tried individual lashes it might be easier.

I find it also a bit difficult to add a full strip of lashes. But I do find it easier if I cut the strip and use only about a 1/3 of it and add it to the outer portion of my eye. It makes it much easier to apply, and less fiddly. Give it a go...I swear youll get it every time this way :D

I have that same problem. But I'm going to try that out @Jenna. Cutting them into 2 pieces. Never thought of that..

You can use tweezers so that your fingers don't get sticky once you have applied the glue let it dry for a few seconds or until it gets a bit stickier then apply as close to the lash line as possible you just need to be really slow to let them dry so slowly press them down on each edge :)

Also don't glue your eyelids together because its not fun :)

Tip from someone who wears them every day..
Do them last after your makeup.
I use the little eylure glues you get with lashes
Don't cheap out on them eBay ones are poo!
I keep my eyes open when I do them to avoid lashes sticking together
Less you fiddle better they'll look! Also don't put mascara on as that will decrease amount of wears you'll get out of them x hope that helps

@Jenna wayne goss explained about cutting a portion of the eyelash but he also used an eyelash applicator! he is an amazing makeup artist by the way. *shrug* I believe I will try the cutting them in pieces and see how that works but I'm nervous that it will be visible!!

You must try Revoln glue, it takes patience to get a routine that works for you.
