Personally for longevity I use superglue

Eyelash glue remains sticky and is easy to smudge
I apply with a toothpick or needle
Baby oil also removes superglue if you make a mistake

If you apply baby oil liberally to her lids,then rub the area between your thumb and index finger,applying pressure
Keep doing this,it will remove all the glue
I've been doing this for years with no issues

Hopefully others will chime in but I've yet to find anything that works anywhere near as good

Especially if you sleep beside her or use her regularly

I was so happy with the Mannequin Fan eyelash system that I bought them for each of my girls that need them. The glue that comes with the actual lashes did not work on the plastic at all so i used super glue and it works pretty well for the most part. Can't recommend his product enough. Best to you Big Joe and thanks again for your "Smiling" thread, we absolutely love it. So much happiness there, makes me smile every time I'm there.

I use superglue gel because it's easy to make a tiny bead on a toothpick with it. I apply the eyelash to the lid gradually one little dot at a time, giving a few minutes between each one so they can dry. It takes a while to do it, but the results are great, and I've never had them come off since. I feel confident they'll stay on for a very long time.

Hey BigJoe, since you sleep with your girl a lot, you might want to consider getting some eyelids for your doll like Jantra did. A bonus is you'll be able to close them so she'll look like she's sleeping!

It's much easier (and better for your doll) to glue lashes to the lids than to the TPE. You can get them on my Shapeways shop (link in signature).
Here is Atomic Punk's hottie Alita wearing them...

I second that! Eyelashes attach to the eyelids, keeping it all clean and neat. And you don't have to commit to superglue, I like changing up her lashes every so often. The best mod ever!

Though I keep forgetting to order MF's moveable eyes....
