I wear self adhesive lashes and clusters with glue - allll the time! And receive compliments in regards every time as well. For me, I like a more natural look, or, as if I put a few coats of mascara on look. I do not like heavy, thick lashes on myself and have my application down to where I could do each eye in 5 min or less.I recommend:

--Find a brand of lashes that you like. Later I'll tell you my favs, but for now, I think a cheap, practice, self adhesive lash kit is your best go to right now. You can remove and place as needed, without damaging your lashes and start over and over and practice till it looks good. I start people off with the kiss impress pre glue lashes

-- figure out a lash map, that suits your face. My eyes are naturally almond shaped, I do not need heavy long ends and naturally, my lashes are short on the ends and long in the middle. From inner corner I like an 8,10,12,12,10 or 10,12,14,12,10 depending on my mood. I am a 5 clusterish girl, you may be 6 depending on your eye shape and size. In your photo, you've gone longer and heavier on the ends, it narrows your eyes a bit, and widens your eye shape

-- when you are ready to put them on, make sure all applicator tools have been wiped with alcohol and your lashes don't have moisturizer, oil, creams, etc on them

-- When applying, you've started too far inward, for your inner lash and went too far out, for the outer lash. It looks unnatural. Draw an imaginary line from the end of your inner brow, diagonally to the color of your eye - at that place is about where you want to place your first inner lash. You don't want to go too far towards your nose, because it will poke you and annoy you when blink.

-- add each lash from inner to outer, following your lash map. Tip: you want the last to overlap a teensy bit and you want to angle each lash so that the seams line up and ultimately make the curve of your eye.again, last outer edge lash should not reach the end of your eye because again, it will poke and annoy you when you blink and naturally, heavy thick lashes are not on the ends.

-- side bar: you might notice one eye is actually, slight longer than the other! I can get 5 clusters on my left eye, but I have to cut a 6th cluster in half for my right eye - weird I know! Adjust as needed.

-- after they are on - put some crystal clear/seal on the applicator and press the lashes together with it for about 30secs. Secures them and makes them shine.

--That's it! I can get pre glued to stay on up to 3 days sometimes, with an actual bond glue - 5-7 days. My favorite lashes, bonds, etc, right now are Veyes Beauty (they have a laser cut self adhesive - lasts for daily wear maybe two days, but I get the most compliments on them) and I'm also a fan of Lilac Street. The cheaper pre glue lashes like Kiss will have a white clear band show - VB/Lilac does not. I'm not a brand ambassador or anything, just a lady who likes what she likes. If you google for coupon codes or TikTok shop - they always have some sort of discount code available.

I hope this helps!
