got these for free in a 5 pack of the demi wispies and i never thought to use one of these curved applicators to apply my eyelashes, using my fingers then pulling the rest in place usually got the job done for me but this made applying them even easier than ever, once you figure out the ideal place to pinch your lashes in the applicator it's super easy to get them on first try and get them nice and close to your natural line
