New here... but I hope this helps. I've been putting fakes on myself and others for, oh, dear. 20 years.
1. Make sure the lash is slightly shorter than your lash line. Most lashes have quite a long strip and MAC ones are longer than most as are Make Up For Ever. I usually trim them from the inside lashes to keep the length on the outsides.
2. Put some glue on a tissue. All surgical latex is the same. Pull any dried latex out of the top of the tube before you do this.
3. Take a toothpick or something like it and dip it into the glue. Put a drop on one of the corners and draw it across the lash so you have a thin line. If you can't draw it from end to end, put another *drop* on and keep pulling it across.
4. Holding by the middle lashes, gently push the strip towards your lash line. You'll have some wiggle room and the glue dries transparent.
5. Once you've got it where you want it, DON'T TOUCH for at least two minutes. I find if the lashes are long aiming a dryer at them will actually pull the corners up.
6. Do the side you're LEAST comfortable with first. Then it's out of the way and the pressure is off.
7. Use some clear mascara to blend the fakes with your real ones.
8. If you totally suck at this, start with half lashes. They're easier to wield and a good way to practice. You can also take a full set and make your own halves by chopping them in half. Then you get two pairs of halvsies. The MAC number fours have such a long strip I can actually get three half lash sets out of one set of full lashes.
I hope this helps.
