Glitter tears have made a few appearances on red carpets, runways and Instagram. This is a more minimalist interpretation that reminds us there are more rhinestone shapes than round ones. Keep the rest of makeup understated because the teardrop diamanté is blink-and-you-miss-it subtle, but that's part of the appeal.

Matching Makeup
Leave it to Lupita Nyong'o to show everyone a next-level way to coordinate makeup with statement earrings and an embellished dress. Makeup artist Nick Barose brought out the green and blue tones in the pieces with Swarovski crystals applied on the inner and outer corners of the eyes.
Using eyeliner to create a wing is basic compared to using diamantés. Draw a swoosh of purple eyeshadow from the inner to outer corners. Load up silver stones on the inner corners of the eyes. For a surprise twist, place green rhinestones close together on the outer corners to form a winged shape.

Twinkling Lashes
There are embellished false lashes available to purchase, but most of them aren't this flashy. Add these lashes to the top of your DIY projects list. Just make sure not to apply too many rhinestones. It's key that your eyes are able to open and close without feeling weighed down.
For a thoroughly modern look, decorate the often ignored area between the crease and brow bone with a smattering of silver rhinestones. A soft lip gloss will play off the shine of the gems.
