Japan new make-up trend for teen girls uses hot melted glue to create tear-like droplets
Trend has been criticised in Japan and China as ‘ridiculous’ for resembling sperm and snot
A new make-up trend gaining popularity among Japanese teenage schoolgirls involves using hot melt glue to create droplet shapes that are then adhered to the face.
The trend has drawn criticism in both Japan and China. Critics have labelled it “ridiculous” due to its resemblance to sperm and snot.
According to the Japanese show Ninosan, the style known as “3D teardrop make-up” has recently captured the attention of Japanese secondary school girls.
This style entails using hot melt glue to form teardrop shapes that stick to the face, mimicking tears rolling down the cheeks.
It gives the girls a delicate appearance that evokes sympathy, making them look as if they are crying.
The make-up process involves extruding hot glue onto a smooth surface, such as a plastic sheet, rather than applying it directly to the skin. Once the glue cools and solidifies, it is carefully removed and attached to the face using fake eyelash glue.
