Welcome to sad girl season: Crying makeup is trending on TikTok

Possibly it was Cassie\’s unlimited sobbing in season 2 of Bliss that did it; tear tracks elevated by the supreme Donni Davy. Maybe it was the handful of sodden selfies Bella Hadid submitted in November 2023 in an open as well as unusual celeb screen of susceptability. Besides, every outfit, hair option and design choice the version makes unavoidably goes viral. Whatever it is, crying is trending in the beauty globe and as a Cancerian I really feel affirmed.

Where are we witnessing this shift towards melancholia? Do you also have to ask? On TikTok make-up artists and beauty bloggers are dusting flush across their nose as well as lining their eyes with glimmering gels and also highlighters to simulate the after-effect of crying.

It started last week when make-up musician Zoe Kim Kenealy uploaded a \”crying makeup\” tutorial for the \”unpredictable girlies\”. In the video clip Kenealy guides us through a charm appearance where the lips have a soft, bitten look, as well as the cheeks, under eye area, and also nose are flushed as well as made rosy with lotion flush. Meanwhile, Kenealy includes Plastic Impact by Concerning Face to the eyes and cupids bow for a glassy, weepy result. The make-up musician also firmly insists that lashes have to be curled to complete the look.

While Kenealy specifying \”you know just how we look excellent when we weep\” is debatable – personally my eyes are too puffy to also examine my representation in the mirror as well as a few users have mirrored this view with the remark \”who is we\” – we have no doubt that this look will capture on.

Some commenters have pointed out that the tutorial is essentially Japanese Igari makeup, a blush-forward pattern made popular back in 2023 by the popular Japanese makeup musician Igari Shinobu, hence the name.

Either way, this set is for the soft girlies. If the whole make-up process is way too much, we suggest simply flipping on Whatever I Know About Love and allow nature do its thing. Besides, if we\’re going to squander those 2L of water we chug down daily, we might also make the most from it.
