Rub a thin layer of petroleum jelly on your bottom eyelids and just under both eyes.

Some actors do use a little help from the makeup department to produce tears. There are eye drops, Vaseline-based products and even menthol tear sticks to irritate the eye. Acting guru Cate Blanchett herself shared last year that she was taught to turn upstage and pull a nostril hair to make herself cry.
Not every actor can cry on cue and it is not essential skill for a successful acting career. However it is definitely a useful skill to add to your the acting repertoire – and the more acting skills you have the better.
Ways to Make Yourself Cry
- Hold your eyes open for a long time.
- Close your eyes, carefully rub the lids for 25 seconds, and then stare at something.
- Bite the inner portion of your lip.
- Apply a tear stick beneath your eyes.
- Use cut pieces of onion to stimulate tears.
- Think about times you felt sad in the past.
