Tear Stick, Menthol-Infused Wax for Natural Tears on Cue, Professional SFX Makeup for Film, Theatre, TV, Acting

I had never used a cry stick before, because I usually don't need to for scenes. But last weekend's scene was so quick to the cry that I thought I might try this. It worked great!

This cry stick worked great for me to get the tears rolling. You still have to act but it will give you an excellent start. It dies burn a little but not bad at all. I swiped it several times around an inch below my eye and then rubbed that area a bit to activate. Not only did it get the tears going but I got lots of members of the audience crying too. If you are expecting tears to magically roll down your face with no effort on your part, this probably won't work but combine it with emotion and it provides a great start to crying on stage!

It’s a really great product! But it burns my skin and irritates my eyes….. still a great product

This has been a life saver on film sets! The scent isn’t too strong, it goes on clear and doesn’t leave much residue behind. Depending on how many swipes are applied, it works within a minute or so. Stay hydrated for best results!

Loved using this for film projects, and on my friends.

I always do my research on all products that I buy, and decided to go with this out of all others I looked at. The packaging is great and sleek. Very easy to use and put away.It's important to note that you should be careful when you actually use this. It WILL burn if you place the product directly into or right under your eyelid (I'm talking like not even half a cm under). I tried multiple locations to scope out the strength and to find the sweet spot for myself. I found that if you use it right at the start of where the "bags" of your eyes may be, that is a good spot so that it will work, but not burn to the point where you cannot open your eyes.I used the product straight onto my skin, but I have heard that using a Q-Tip is another good way to apply the product.This may not bring out full on stream of tears running down your face, but you will get watery eyed. If you are able to get close to crying on cue, this may be the product to help push you right over the edge to have the full crying effect.

The idea is wonderful for those in the performance industry, it just unfortunately didn't work for me. I felt the burn for sure and could feel myself getting welled up - it just wasn't enough to produce tears. My face was red for a little while, though the burning sensation doesn't last much longer after you wash it off with cold water. Each body is different, so it makes sense that it doesn't work the same for everyone. Again, cool idea though!

I was hoping this would cause me to tear up to the point of having a couple tears fall down my face but nothing really happened. The wetness of the stick being applied was really the only thing that looked even mildly convincing. I followed the directions and all that happened was I blinked a lot, my skin burned, and my eyes were irritated but nothing beyond what it looks like when someone has a pet allergy. Wish this worked but can say after 8min and 4 applications, not a single tear came.
