For everyone who has ever told you, “Don’t cry, you’ll mess up your makeup,” we’ve discovered the ultimate “fuck you.” Tears are an intentional part of the makeup with many of the looks that are taking over our Instagram feeds lately. Makeup artists have been creating fake tears out of gloss and face paint. This is not to be confused with glitter tears, which has also had its Instagram moment and runway appearance. Instead, this tear makeup looks incredibly real and so<\/em> right. For all the sad girls out there who like a good daily cry, this weird Instagram trend goes out to you. We feel you.<\/p>\n

To find out how to create convincing fake tears, we talked to Canadian makeup artist Laura Kalmakoff. Her latest teary-eyed look was actually inspired by Kimberley Margarita \u2014 not her actual emotions. The makeup artist, who also goes by ColourCreepp on social media, is known for her mystical makeup looks that often involve tears running down her face. Here she is, done up as a mermaid princess.<\/p>\n
