Single lashes vs. lash perm

I've been trying to apply individual false eyelashes lately, but it's seriously so hard ㅠㅠ
I'm following a YouTube video, but I'm so clumsy that I can't stick it on properly.
Should I just get a perm instead? ㅠㅠ I'm debating it.
Do you guys have any tips for applying individual false eyelashes?
Or should I just get a perm?
