Teens are sometimes the ones who start a lot of trends. Additionally, they are frequently early adopters if they did not originate the concepts themselves. Teenagers appear to be the least resistant to constantly changing fads, and younger girls will follow the latest makeup trends, such as thin eyebrows, brown lipstick, and body glitter.
Japanese high school girls are currently the primary players in a new makeup fad. The majority of adults dismiss their use of hot glue to create 3D teardrops on their faces as “ridiculous.”
More from CafeMom: Mom believes it’s acceptable to be “lazy” occasionally, while Dad believes her daughter needs makeup to fit in.

It is a relatively new trend.
According to the South China Morning Post, the trend was initially covered by the Japanese program Ninosan. According to the show, teenagers who are in secondary school are using the “3D teardrop makeup” trend to create looks. In order to replicate the way tears fall down the cheeks, the “tears” are made with hot glue.
It’s a bit of a process to create the tears.
Because they appear to be crying, girls think the look gives them a “delicate appearance that evokes sympathy.”
For Japanese girls, trends are frequently short-lived.
According to Rika Shiiki, head of AMF, a Japanese company that specializes in marketing goods to students, trends among Japanese girls don’t usually stay long, she told SCMP. After two weeks or a month, the teenagers are usually on to the next thing.
Teens are molding the tears and then adding color or texture with additional materials like cosmetics and glitter because the hot glue is so simple to work with.
Use of hot glue has been accompanied by warnings.

The Chinese publication claims that hot glue producers are warning against applying the substance to cosmetics. Since crafting is its primary use, the materials contain irritants that could be damaging to skin. Additionally, the hot glue contains compounds that might trigger allergic reactions. The use of hot glue by teenagers has grown so widespread that some places are experiencing a shortage of the supplies.
