You did an awesome job! The trick of putting them on is making sure each end stays put, and close to the lash line, so you don’t have touch up with eyeliner to conceal the band. I always have to put some extra glue to keep them in place. Some people like to put it in the center and work outwards, I work from inner corner of my eye to the out corner. Practice and patience. 👍🏼

Apply mascara first and a super thin layer of eyeliner then put your lashes on ( best glue is duo that has the brush applicator) after you get the placement right and everything is dry, take your eyelash curler and curl your real lashes with the falsies! (Blends them together)
It’s not bad for a first attempt, but they do float a bit above your lash line. Use either your fingers or tweezers (carefully, obviously) to squeeze them in with your lashes. Also, to make the application easier, wait for the glue to get a bit tacky (~30 seconds). I like to also hold the edges together while I wait for the glue to get tacky. That way it’s more rounded and easier to put on. If the edges doesn’t stick right away, get a bobby pin or a q-tip without the cotton and just dab some more glue on, wait for it to get tacky again, and squeeze the lash down again.
I’m not quite sure how to do these but there are magnetic lashes like I have. The liner is magnetic and the lashes have little magnets as well. I find those way easier than these because I always struggle with the glue
When I first started with lashes o would cut them in half then glue each half. I also like to hold my mirror angled up and more under my face so that I’m looking down while I apply. Also less glue is more when you’re just starting out
