FCD94, if you take a look at the first page under detailed product information you'll find some videos for the eyes and lids.
The eyelid video is a little old - I'm planning on making a new one soon.
For the easiest install and removal of the lashes I recommend using a self adhesive type of eyelash like the Colormates. The self adhesive with these is good enough so you won't need to use the glue.
One Colormates eyelash kit comes with the EME box set so you can try them out.
You can also get them at Dollar Tree if you have a store in your area.
In order to reduce the production time and cost on the eyelash kits I'm giving some thought to offering these unfinished - basically print and ship.
After some experimentation, I was surprised to see just how well eye makeup worked directly on the plastic and it's so easy to do. I can print these in a tan or graphite gray color plastic. The graphite gray works really well for the smoky look as the underlying gray color automatically gives you the shading.
Here's my Zoya head with a coppery color eye shadow applied directly to the graphite gray lids with the Colormates Diva eyelashes...

You just need a few things to do this.
1. Eye shadow makeup. I used an inexpensive Wet & Wild 10 color palette ($5 at the grocery store).
2. A chisel point black Sharpie for coloring the front of the lash mount.
3. A small round art brush for coloring and blending the top of the lash mount with black eye shadow.
4. Krylon clear matte finish to seal the makeup. You can usually get this 11oz can at Walmart for less than $4.
