Updated 28 February 2011: My contact over at Kiss shared some quick tips that I thought would be helpful just in case you find yourself in the same predicament that I was in:
Mascara is completely optional - you do not have to apply it beforehand as it can be applied after.
Let the lash glue set and dry for a few minutes before applying mascara. This is to make sure that you don't accidentally move your lashes in the process.
When removing the strings, pinch your eyelids and push in to create tension between the string and the lash. Make sure you're only grabbing one side of the string because if you try to pull out both sides at the same time, it will cause your lashes to come off.
Make sure not to get any glue on the strings as this could cause difficulty in removing the strings.
Let me tell you how "special" I am. For the past few weeks, I've been playing around with the two sets of the new Kiss Premium Eyelashes with Application Strings. I've been struggling with them for the longest unfortunately! The above image is my final and most successful attempt. Not only did I remember one crucial detail (apply mascara first!) but my lashes looked really good! I used Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express to merge both my lashes and the Kiss lashes together. Who knew we would see lashes with "training wheels" so to speak?
