The shower makeup trend has been one of the most peculiar and yet surprisingly relatable trends we’ve seen on social media in recent times. The beauty of it belies its underlying melancholy, thus the name.

Just so there’s no confusion: the crying makeup trend is all about a gentle appearance with glossy, tear-inspired touches near your eyes and cheeks. This style fad may help you project an angry, approachable edge, a sweet damsel-in-distress feel, or everything in between. Despite how narrow the idea may seem, the current trend of wet makeup isn’t limited to a sobbing idea.
