Unlike liquid tears that look fake on camera, this cry stick produces genuine watery eyes that are perfect for emotional scenes in film, theatre, TV, and video content. - EASY APPLICATION WITH PRO TIPS: Apply about half an inch below the eye (at the top of the under-eye area, not on the eyelid) for best results. Remove contact lenses before use. For a stronger effect, apply multiple layers. Most users see results within 2-5 minutes as the menthol activates with body heat. - GENTLE FORMULA, NO CAMPHOR: Unlike other tear sticks that contain harsh camphor, our formula uses natural menthol with coconut oil-derived moisturizers and shea butter for a smooth, comfortable application. Safe for sensitive skin around the delicate eye area. - PORTABLE & DISCREET: Comes in a sleek, compact lipstick-style container that fits in your pocket, purse, or makeup kit. The durable twist-up design protects the product and makes it easy to apply between takes on set or backstage. - PROFESSIONAL GRADE, ETHICALLY MADE: Trusted by makeup artists in film, TV, and theater productions. Made in the USA in a cruelty-free, vegetarian-approved facility. One stick provides dozens of applications for long-lasting value. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #94,486 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #11 in Costume Makeup | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 842 Reviews | ## Images ![Tear Stick | Cry Stick for Actors | Menthol Wax for Natural Tears on Cue | Professional SFX Stage Makeup for Film, Theatre, TV, Cosplay & Halloween - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71agzxCbsML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how long does it last?** A: The Tear Stick effect will last about 5-10 minutes, enough to cause tears to form and to keep them flowing. After 10 minutes, the menthol vapors will have mostly dissipated, so you will need to reapply the Tear Stick. **Q: How long does it last? As in expiration date. 1 year? 10 years, ...?** A: It last aprox 1-3 theater seasons or one years worth of horror movie acting. Expiration date Varies but usually needs replacement a year after being bought. **Q: Is anyone else able to smell the menthol when its applied?** A: Yes, you can definitely smell it right after it’s applied (not as strong as Vicks though) Eventually the smell wears off slowly. **Q: How fast does this work?** A: The hotter the environment or your skin, it works immediately. If you are outside during cold months or in a well air conditioned space, it needs about 2-5 minutes for the peppermint vapors to begin floating in front of your eyes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and works in seconds *by P***K on March 31, 2026* Works great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great *by A***O on April 19, 2026* Works very well. I think it's top seller because every actress I'm friends with has the same one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works exactly as it should but a little goes a long way. *by J***R on April 20, 2026* Used for theater. A little goes a LONG way. Usually just using a little bit is helpful for kickstarting the scene without forcing excessive tears. Using too much actually hurts and makes it hard to keep my eyes open, but it does exactly as it should. ## Frequently Bought Together - Narrative Cosmetics Tear Stick, Menthol-Infused Wax for Natural Tears on Cue, Professional SFX Makeup for Film, Theatre, TV, Acting - Mehron Makeup Sweat & Tears | Professional Special Effects Liquid for Fake Tears and Sweat 1 fl oz (3 g) - BOBISUKA Tear Stick with Natural Menthol For Actors & Actresses, Professional Cry Stick with Real Tear On Cue Ideal for SFX Makeup, Film, Theatre, TV Acting, Performance and Stage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/150798902-tear-stick-cry-stick-for-actors-menthol-wax-for-natural](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/150798902-tear-stick-cry-stick-for-actors-menthol-wax-for-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
