how to make fake tears tutorial makeup

Sometimes only drawing on tears with white eyeliner isn't enough! Sometimes yous want glistening, 3D, realistic teardrops pouring from your sad cry-baby eyes! 😛

For our recent "Weep-Baby" photoshoot I created some super elementary stick on tears to piece of work into the makeup for the shoot. I also wore like ones to our Tea Party before this calendar month. These would work not bad in a variety of looks- or for whatsoever day when you desire people to feel sorry for you and offer tissues. Here's a quick tutorial on how to make your own!

Materials Needed

Hot Mucilage Gun.

Gum sticks (clear colored, non white or opaque colored glue sticks- though those could piece of work for other sorts of teardrops).

Mirror or glass work surface.

Toothpicks (optional).

Scissors.

Eyelash glue (ideally a articulate one, I constitute "DUO" brand dried a flake whitish under the tears but the Revlon blueish-tinted clear eyelash glue worked perfectly and stayed articulate and didn't disrupt the transparent effect of the tears).

Step one:

Wipe off the mirror/glass surface so in that location's no balance or finger oils on information technology quickly with a tissue or whatever you have handy, if you're concerned about hair spray residues etc use windex or vinegar to clean it. Exercise this while your glue gun heats up.

Step 2:

Once your gum gun is heated express a blob of glue and then slowly pull dorsum while releasing the pressure on the gun-trigger to create a teardrop shape on the glass/mirror. Information technology will accept a few tries to get the shape right! What yous are doing is creating a large drop of mucilage then tapering the point to create a drop shape. Let the teardrops to cool (it will accept longer than information technology seems for them to dry completely on the glass/mirror surface).

Step Three:

Once your teardrops have dried completely apply a toothpick or your fingernail to ease them carefully off of the glass/mirror surface. There may exist strings of glue or bits in the drop that aren't quite perfect, carefully use your scissors to trim those away and shape the drops to get the consequence you lot desire.

Step Four:

To adhere them to your face apply a tiny amount of eyelash mucilage to the flat side of the teardrop using a toothpick. Not too thick, these stick remarkably well with very trivial mucilage. Apply them nether the eyes for a weepy look! Voila! 🙂
