[YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/learning-with-buddy) user and makeup artist KlairedeLys demonstrates how to create your own [dramatic Black Tears Eyelashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-by-velour).

These DIY lashes are incredibly big and bold, extending from the lower lash line and sticking to the face rather than the eyelashes. The resulting look is frightening and sorrowful, a perfect look for a [zombie bride Halloween makeup look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx) or for any costume party. With the black drops coming out of the eyes, it appears like the wearer was sobbing uncontrollably and their mascara started running down their face in a tragic and beautiful way. The look is definitely vampy and Gothic, appealing to those with a morbid mind.

With some liquid latex and black permanent marker, anyone can easily recreate these Black Tears Eyelashes.
