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;

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.

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.

<h2>What is the tear-drop make-up?</h2>

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.

In this makeup process, hot glue is extruded on a smooth surface like a plastic sheet and not applied directly to the skin.

After the glue cools down and solidifies, it is removed carefully, and fake eyelash glue is used to attach it to the face.

Japanese firm Rika Shiiki, which promotes such products, said that the trend is prevalent among secondary school girls in Japan. The trend has become so popular in Japan that it has led to a shortage of hot melt glue in a few areas.

The manufacturers of hot melt glue have issued a warning against it being used for cosmetic purposes because the chemical substance can lead to allergic reactions or skin irritation.

<h2>Make-up trend faces backlash</h2>

The trend faced a lot of criticism from Japanese as well as Chinese people who called it "ridiculous" and "bizarre" after the Chinese media shared it.

“Wait, doesn’t this hot glue tear makeup look suspiciously like sperm?,” said one Japanese viewer.

“Seriously? Are secondary school girls really into this kind of inappropriate trend now?” wrote another.&nbsp;

“This looks more like snot than tears. It’s disgusting, not cute at all," third commentator.

Japan's teens are creating tear-like droplets using hot melted glue in a bizarre make-up trend

Qantas, which is Australia's national airline, announced on Friday (June 9) that it will scrap its gender-based uniform guidelines. The airline has allowed male cabin crew to wear make-up. The women also have the option to ditch high heels.&nbsp;

The airline said that it has taken the decision to overhaul its guidelines to better reflect modern expectations. The move is aimed at making uniforms more comfortable for staff from "diverse cultural backgrounds".&nbsp;

Qantas said that "fashions change, and so have our style guidelines over the years. We're proud of our diversity as well as bringing our guidelines up to date".&nbsp;

In the past as well, the airline has drawn attention because of its style guide. It banned handlebar moustaches, policed the length of sideburns, and also specified the ideal shades of eyeliner.&nbsp;

Recently, there has been the insistence of labour unions, who urged Qantas to scrap rules such as the requirement that female staff wear make-up. According to Qantas, the new "style and grooming guidelines" would ditch the previous "male" and "female" uniform categories.&nbsp;

Now, cabin crew can choose whether to wear make-up, can opt for flat shoes, and can have long hair as long as it is in a ponytail or bun. Diamond earrings are also allowed, while strict rules governing the size and style of watches have been dumped.&nbsp;

<h2>The Qantas Group and Western Sydney International Airport agreement&nbsp;</h2>

The Qantas Group and Western Sydney International Airport have reached a landmark agreement that will see both Qantas and Jetstar operating domestic flights from the new airport when it opens in late 2026.&nbsp;

As quoted on its website, Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said the national carrier was proud to sign an agreement with Western Sydney International Airport.&nbsp;

Joyce said, "In just over three years, Qantas and Jetstar will take off from Western Sydney, connecting one of Australia’s fastest-growing areas through direct flights across the country."&nbsp;

He added, "As we take delivery of more aircraft and expand our fleet, we see Western Sydney Airport as a significant growth opportunity for the Group, which will complement our existing operations in the Sydney basin and nationally. Western Sydney International Airport has some big strategic advantages with no curfew, technology that allows aircraft to be turned around quickly and a next-generation baggage system."&nbsp;

"Our data shows that more than two million trips per year are taken by people who live in the Western Sydney catchment so we know there will be demand for these flights from day one. Jetstar has a long history of stimulating demand when it starts flying to new destinations through low fares, so expect to see some great value travel options," Joyce further said.

Qantas to scrap its gender-based uniform guidelines. Male cabin crew can wear make-up

Virgin Atlantic female cabin crew are to be allowed to work without wearing make-up, the company announced and will be able to wear trousers as a standard option in their signature red uniforms.

Previously trousers, although permitted, had to be specially ordered from the airline's uniforms department.

"Not only do the new guidelines offer an increased level of comfort, but they also provide our team with more choice on how they want to express themselves at work," Virgin said in a statement.

It added: "Female cabin crew are no longer required to wear any makeup if they so choose. &nbsp;They are, however, still very welcome to wear any of our existing palette of make-up (including lipstick and foundations) set out in Virgin Atlantic’s guidelines."

Trousers are now available as an option for all women and will be provided as standard when joining Virgin Atlantic, it said.

The changes come after feedback from employees of the airline, and as some of its newer competitors are relaxing traditional cabin crew uniform rules.

Several airlines such as British Airways and Emirates still require female cabin crew to wear make-up while working, although in 2016 British Airways did drop its rule that women could not wear trousers.
