There are situations when a woman needs to make her eyes red, as if she was crying. We won’t tell you why. In the end, each representative may have her own goals. For example, if she plays in a movie or theater.
But most often such situations are more banal and even everyday:
-Ÿ make your husband feel guilty for some kind of voluntary or involuntary offense, showing him how much you “worry”;
-Ÿ show a sensual nature when watching a touching film;
-Ÿ show your boss or work colleagues how much you worry about some failure in the office.
The main thing is the right emotional mood
Much is already clear from the title of the subtitle of this part of the article. Maybe you won’t even have to pretend that you were crying, but will actually be able to shed a tear:
-Ÿ think how strong the offense is;
-Ÿ think about how unfair they are to you;
-Ÿ feel sorry for yourself very much;
-Ÿ remember some really sad situation, for example, how you suffered in childhood when a pet died;
-Ÿ how very upset you were about the lost chance to get a well-paid job, etc.
Reasons why eye color changes
A woman often wants to make her man worry about the fact that he made her suffer. Sometimes a girl tries to show sensuality to a complete stranger in a new company. Melodramas are mostly watched because of strong emotions. If you show your manager that the problem has upset you very much, you can avoid a conflict situation.
Ordinary emotions can cause tears. After tears, the organs of vision always turn red, and there is no need for staging for them. It won't hurt to practice again:
- you need to stand in front of the mirror;
- remember the worst grievance;
- looking at yourself in the mirror, you need to repeat that the attitude is unfair;
- It’s better to feel sorry for yourself once again, so it won’t hurt to remember bad incidents or a movie with tragic passages;
- all the bad attempts and those that turned out unsuccessful must be remembered and scrolled through in your head.
If the effect of the technique is poor, it is better to take radical methods that will help make red eyes.
Some real advice
If you want your eyes to be just red, and this becomes noticeable even in the photo, you can do this at home. To achieve this result, certain external stimuli are necessary. Here are some of them:
- Ÿ Try not to blink for two minutes, while using your fingers to push your eyelids apart as much as possible. It is advisable that the wind blows into your eyes - natural or from a fan;
- Ÿ relax and rub your eyes as hard as you can for at least thirty seconds, then open your eyelids and, straining your eyes as hard as possible, look at something specific, for example, at a light bulb or at one point;
- Ÿ try to touch the pupil with your finger. This will also be an excellent irritant, the main thing is not to poke too hard so as not to damage the cornea or pupil;
- Ÿ take a little menthol-based Vaseline and smear it on your lower eyelid - the menthol fumes will irritate the eye and lead to the release of real tears;
- Ÿ and, of course, onions - juicy, “evil”. It is enough just to peel the head of such a vegetable for your eyes to become “crying,” not to mention touching your eyelids with the hands with which you held the bulb.
As you can see, making red eyes at home is quite simple. And even in the photo they will look as if you recently shed tears. However, we have to warn you that you should not use red pepper or chili pepper. Of course, such methods are very effective, but remember that pepper can cause real harm to the health of the organs of vision.
Effective ways
Most methods involve breaking the protective film or mucous membrane of the eyeball. The result is discomfort, which is accompanied by increased tearing and redness of the eyes. The person looks teary, which means the desired effect has been achieved.
Peeling onions
The onion itself, even peeled, hardly causes tears. If you need guaranteed strong tearing, then the onion must be chopped with a knife. What is the effect based on?
Onions contain various components. They are enclosed in cells and securely covered with a membrane. Cutting onions breaks the thin membranes of the cells and thereby releases their contents. The compounds mix, resulting in new substances appearing. In particular, sulfur compounds are highly volatile. They evaporate. The smallest particles fall on the mucous membrane of the eyeball and settle on it. This leads to discomfort and increased tear production, which is a protective reaction of the body. By the way, the same thing happens in the nasal cavity. As a result, the same effect of “tear-stained eyes” appears, which look very natural, natural.
This effect can be avoided by cutting frozen onions. The low temperature of cells and their components does not allow them to become essential substances.
Makeup
There is nothing easier than “drawing” tear-stained eyes. This skill is well mastered by make-up artists who, with just the help of makeup, are able to depict the necessary emotions on a person’s face.
How to make your eyes red with makeup yourself? To do this, you need to use shadows and pencils in red and pink shades.
You can circle the eyelids with a red pencil and gently shade it. Pink shadows can be combined with dark blue ones, which can be applied under the eyes, thus simulating bruises.
Lenses
There are lenses that can quickly create the desired “tear-stained” effect. Of course, they are not designed for everyday wear, but for special occasions. Models must be selected carefully. So, if you choose lenses that will give the necessary red tint not to the whites of the eyes, but to the iris, instead of tear-stained eyes, a person will get the effect of a vampire.
Tear stick
Actors use special devices that make their eyes red without any additional means. These include the lacrimal bacillus. It is created from wax or gel with a high menthol content. Just run this stick a little along the lower eyelid, closer to the edges of the eyelashes, and your eyes will begin to water. The required effect has been achieved.
It should be noted that after a couple of minutes, additional lubrication of the lower eyelid with a tear stick may be required. This method does not harm the visual organs at all, and therefore is successfully used among representatives of the acting profession.
Pool exercises
Exercising in the pool has health benefits. Ophthalmologists can argue with this statement. Disinfection of water in them is achieved by chlorination. Chlorine is a volatile substance. When it evaporates, it gets onto the mucous membrane of the eyeball and discomfort appears, tears begin to flow. If you do not use special protective equipment (swimming goggles), the desired effect will be achieved. The longer a person is in contact with water with his eyes open, the more red his eyes will become.
Peppermint
Mint contains a large amount of essential oils, which is responsible for the famous minty smell. Essential components are very small in size, and therefore they are able to quickly penetrate various cells and tissues. Most often this occurs in the eye or nose area, as their mucous membranes pick up various substances from the air.
In practice, the easiest way is not to use mint tea, but to use essential oil, in which the content of essential components is much higher. To do this, apply a little oil directly under the eyes. But the effect is short-lived, it only lasts for a few minutes, and then everything will have to be repeated.
Lack of sleep
Perhaps many people have encountered this side effect of lack of sleep. A sleepless night guarantees red eyes. This is due to the fact that small vessels require time to recover. With constant eye strain, blood vessels spasm and their nutrition is disrupted.
Of course, this method will not bring health to the owner, but if you use it rarely, no more than once a month, then there will be no significant harm to the condition of the body. In addition, it is necessary to subsequently take care of the health of the visual organs and do everything possible to restore their condition.
Memories of sad things
Tears are very often caused by unpleasant emotions. If you remember the most difficult periods and individual moments in your life, your eyes will turn red without additional measures. Moreover, sometimes it is very difficult to stop this tearing process, because a person needs to cope with his emotions and memory and “return to the present.”
Menthol
Menthol-based Vaseline can be used if you need to create a red eye effect. To do this, a small amount of the substance is applied to the lower eyelid.
Vaseline itself should not come into contact with the mucous membrane of the eyeball! Otherwise, discomfort in the eyes will be very real and much more severe. In such a situation, it is necessary to rinse the eye under running water.
In the absence of special petroleum jelly, you can use a cream with menthol in the composition. It is usually found in most pre- or after-shave products for men.
Simple Methods
There are simpler ways to make eyes red at home, for which there is no need to use special compounds. For example, you can simply not blink for as long as possible. To enhance the effect during the procedure, it is better to look at a strong light with open eyes. After some time, the person will feel severe pain and burning in the eyes. This is due to the drying out of the mucous membrane, which requires constant lubrication. The supply of the latter is ensured by blinking, during which the synthesized tear fluid is distributed throughout the eyeball and again assumes protective functions.
The Oscars are for you
Even if your eyes are red, don't forget to look convincing. In particular, make a sad face, speak in a quiet voice and in a tone that is characteristic of you being offended.
By the way, if you can even convince yourself personally that you are so offended that you are ready to cry, then others will believe you. Not to mention that such a condition can provoke real tears.
Some of the most realistic tips on how to make your eyes red
If you really want your eyes to just be red, and it becomes noticeable even in the photo, try to help yourself. To make your eyes red, expose them to certain external stimuli. How to achieve this? There are several tricks that will help make your eyes red:
- Try not to blink for two or three minutes. Open your eyelids further and direct a stream of air into your eyes, either from under a fan, or stand so that the wind blows into your face.
- Try to relax and rub your eyes as hard as you can for at least one minute. After this, open your eyelids and, straining your vision as much as possible, look at one point, for example, at a light bulb or a picture.
- Try to gently touch the eyeball with your finger. This can also be a great irritant and will definitely turn your eyes red. The main thing is not to poke too hard, so as not to damage the tissue of the eye.
- Take the head of a juicy “evil” onion in your hands and peel it. At the same time, keep the bulb close to your eyes. If you touch your eyelids with these hands, the effect will be incomparable.
In general, it is not so difficult to make your eyes red at home. Even in the photo, everything will look natural, as if you just shed tears. Just be careful not to use chili pepper or red pepper. This, of course, is a very effective method, but they can cause real harm to the organ of vision.

Even if you have red eyes, you need to have a convincing appearance. In particular, you should make a sad face, speak in a low voice and a characteristic offended tone. If you can convince yourself that you are so offended that you are ready to cry, then others will also believe you. This condition will definitely provoke real tears and the eyes will become red.

Tear stick
Actors often use a remedy that causes redness in the organ of vision. One of the items is a Tear stick. In production it resembles a semi-solid rod, sometimes it looks like a menthol gel. The appearance of the case is made like a woman's lipstick.
Apply the product to the skin around the eyes. This component irritates the eyes, and tears begin to flow. The main ingredient that causes lacrimation is menthol. When using a component that contains a mint scent, you must follow several important rules:

- To get a strong effect, you need to treat the entire inner surface of the nostrils with menthol; in addition to redness of the eyes, this method will cause a runny nose.
- The organs of vision should not be exposed to strong effects of menthol.
Red eyes without harm to health
Using makeup - cosmetics can easily turn the organs of vision red, and also negatively affect the eyelids and make them swollen. After using cosmetics, the face will look as if the person has been crying for a long time. Using this method, you can irritate the eye membrane. This method is one of the most effective and efficient; in addition, the eyes are not seriously damaged.
For redness, you need to use a red pencil and outline the eyelid around the eyes. Use dark shadows or lip pencil to darken the skin. The method is used if the skin is not sensitive. Use cotton pads to lightly rub the points that are previously made on the eyelids, below and above. The result is a slight reddening effect. The red dots need to be so that they are hard to see.
Returning your eyes to their normal appearance
After the redness has played its role, it is necessary to get rid of it. To do this, you need to take walks in the fresh air for one hour. Do not put stress on the body. On this day it is prohibited to work on a computer or any other device.

Potato and cucumber pieces will give your eyes a healthy look. You can’t overdo it with the red eye effect, because a visit to the doctor will be inevitable.
It is important to know! Chemicals should not come into contact with the eyes. The body immediately has its own reaction and tears come from the eyes, thus the eyes are harmed.
The visual organ is quite sensitive and is easily exposed to irritants. It doesn't take much effort to get red eyes. If you use one of the effective methods, you need to remember that you need to make sure first. If you don’t follow all the rules for creating red eyes, people around you will immediately understand everything and will no longer believe you, even if you really cry.
