Apply a small amount to the skin just beneath the eye. The menthol vapors do the work. If it's your first time, go light — less product produces a more natural result. How long does the effect last? The tearing effect typically lasts a few minutes from a single application. Reapply as needed between takes. Can you use it on camera? Yes. It's designed for on-set use in film, TV, and theater work where natural-looking tears are needed on cue. What's the difference between a tear stick and eye drops? A tear stick uses menthol vapor to trigger tears externally — nothing goes in the eye. Eye drops work differently and often look less natural on camera. Does it work for stage and theater? Yes. The effect reads strongest on camera, but many performers use it alongside physical acting cues on stage.
