What is the “teardrop eye trend” on TikTok?

The idea behind the “tear drop trend” (also known as the “eye trend” or “water eye challenge”) is to use water drops to focus your camera and capture perfect details.

TikTok users participating in this trend often start their videos by showing themselves placing a drop of water on the camera lens, whether it’s with a finger or an actual dropper.

They then brought their face close to the camera to zoom in on one eye. Once the video is in focus, the eyes can be seen in HD quality – every lash, lid area and pupil are shown.

Viewers are obsessed with the teardrop eye trend, saying it gives a feeling of “intimacy” and allows one to peer into the “soul” of the participants.

It’s also a great way to see your own eyes from a closer perspective, revealing all the details that are often missed when just looking in the mirror.

How to do the “teardrop eye trend” on TikTok?

For those who want to participate and investigate all the details in their eyes, here is a step-by-step guide on how to participate in the trend.

  1. Film with the TikTok app and remember to turn on the flash.
  2. Find the exact lens on your phone camera used to record the video.
  3. While any sound can be added to your video, the majority of users participating in this trend have chosen Clams Casino and I’m God by Imogen Heaps. For your videos, you can also choose to lip sync the lyrics. A commonly used sentence is “Everyone needs hope”.
  4. Be careful filming by dipping the lens in water using a dropper (or finger). Avoid pouring water from a bottle or cup as this may damage your phone. Make sure to cover the entire lens.
  5. Bring your face closer to the lens, two to three inches (or five to seven centimeters) away from the camera.
  6. Film your chosen eye. Some users find the 0.5 filter helps the camera focus and improves overall quality. However, others say this can lead to blurry video, proving that you may have to do trial and error to achieve the desired results.
