<p>Japan's teenage girls have been getting involved in a new but bizarre make-up trend in which hot melt glue is used to create tear droplets on the face, the South China Morning Post reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The trend is being criticised for its absurdity in both China and Japan and has been called "ridiculous" because of its resemblance to snot and sperm.</p>

<p>As reported by the Japanese show Ninosan, the style is called “3D teardrop make-up” and has recently become very popular among secondary school girls in Japan.</p>

<p>The make-up involves using hot melt&nbsp;glue to create shapes of teardrops which stick to the face and give the appearance of tears rolling down the cheeks.</p>

<p>In this makeup process, hot glue is extruded on a smooth surface like a plastic sheet and not applied directly to the skin.</p>

<p>Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Marquez Dee is bisexual. Coming out on her sexual orientation, the beauty queen said, “I’m attracted to all forms of beauty, all shapes and sizes”. She came out with her sexual preference in an interview with a magazine, so as to put an end to rumours about her sexuality.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She revealed that it’s not a new feeling and she has always identified as a bisexual. “I’ve identified with that for as long as I can remember. I’m attracted to all forms of beauty, all shapes and sizes.”</p>

<p>Michelle didn’t discuss this during Philippines national beauty contest, that ended on May 13, as she felt that the “timing wasn’t right”. “I felt like coming out during the competition would shock everyone, and cloud everyone’s judgment. I also wanted to do that within my own timeline, and it wasn’t the right time.”</p>

<h2><strong>Michelle's coming out moment</strong></h2>

<p>She felt it was the right time now as people started circulating images from her childhood – in which she looks like a regular high schooler with unkempt hair. “I want to come out with this story because I know that those photos were spread with malicious intent to kind of distract me, make me feel I’m not worthy of the crown,” she said.</p>

<p>This is now her way of controlling the narrative after these old photos were spread to discredit her achievements and make her look unworthy of becoming a beauty queen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Michelle revealed that people close to her always knew this about her. Her friends knew and her family, including her mother Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez, had an “inkling”.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>A part of LGBTQ community</strong></h2>

<p>Michelle was also a part of the LGBTQ community before coming out. “Even before coming out, I’ve been attending pride marches. I have too many friends and best friends in the community. I’ve been a loud and proud ally. It’s just that I never gave a confirmation,” she said.&nbsp;</p>
