Why crying makes you beautiful

I am such an ugly crybaby. Someone whose face completely distorts and I start to look like a supernatural monster. A kind of Gollum, yes, that's it. The big fat luck for me is that I also disproportionately often let my tears flow freely. Sad commercial with starving puppies in a cage and I'm already sniffling before it's over. With ‘All you need is love‘ my clothes are soaked with tears after half an hour and I look so exhausted at the end of the show that it seems like something serious has happened to me. I reached my overemotional low point last week. When I happened to zap past a Geordie Shore (if you don't know it, good for you) episode and some pumped-up guy announced that he was leaving the house, I whimpered as if my life depended on it. Anyway, I could go on for hours but you get the point.

But when I recently studied myself in the mirror after a good cry, I actually discovered:

A natural smokey eye

It's logical that you shouldn't rub your eyes. Still, if you cry a little and then gently dab the tears away, you actually have a nice subtle black line under your eyes.

Kylie Lips

Somehow, hangovers and tears cause my lips to swell. This seems to be because both alcohol and a waterfall of tears dehydrate your skin, which results in puffy lips. The next day we'll drink water again, but for now, let's enjoy this look.

Botox moment

While crying, you may not be the prettiest and you tense all your facial muscles. Once you're done, your skin is completely relaxed and those annoying frown lines are gone. For a moment, at least.
