According to the Saed News Social Service, recently a strange challenge has emerged among school-aged teenage girls in Japan. They use hot glue in this challenge to create 3D tears and stick these droplets onto their faces.
This makeup style, known as “3D Tear Makeup,” gives girls an emotional and vulnerable appearance, as if they are crying.
In fact, the goal of this trend is to evoke a sense of empathy, and girls try to give themselves a softer and more fragile look by using this makeup style.
This style was first introduced on the Japanese program “Ninosan” and since then has attracted the attention of Japanese high school girls. The makeup process involves pouring hot glue onto a flat surface (such as a plastic sheet). After cooling and hardening, these droplets are carefully separated and glued onto the face using false eyelash adhesive.
This social media challenge in Japan and China has faced many criticisms. Some have mocked it as inappropriate because of its resemblance to liquids such as “nasal mucus” and “sperm.”
One Japanese user wrote: “Wait, don’t these tear droplets look like sperm?” Another user added: “Really? Do school girls really like such inappropriate fashion trends?”
In China, social media users have described this style as “weird” and “disgusting.” One Chinese user wrote: “This looks more like nasal mucus than tears. It’s not attractive at all.”
Due to its attention-grabbing appearance, this makeup style has become popular on social networks like Twitter and Instagram. Girls use inexpensive materials like hot glue to create diverse designs and share their photos.
Rika Shiki, manager of the Japanese company “AMF,” which produces student products, has stated that makeup trends among high school girls usually last only two weeks to one month.
She added: “These girls love trying new styles, taking photos, and sharing them on social media.”
However, hot glue manufacturers have warned against using this material for cosmetic purposes. They emphasized that this glue contains chemicals that may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.
Additionally, hot glue guns are designed for crafts, and their use for decorations that contact the skin is not recommended.
Nevertheless, the popularity of this trend has been so high that hot glue shortages have been reported in some areas of Japan.
This is not the first time hot glue has been used for beauty purposes. Last year, a beauty and cosmetics influencer on TikTok caused a sensation by designing an eyeliner style using hot glue.
Her video, showcasing this unique design, received more than 14.9 million views.
Experts say that although the new trend may soon be abandoned due to widespread criticism, it reflects the influence of social media on the rapid changes in makeup styles among teenagers.
