- Tear sticks, available to buy, are held near the eyes to make them water: there are also such products as Epson Salts and Olbas Oil that have the same effect. However, care must be taken when using them. Some people have extremely sensitive eyes. Eye drops used in excess may give just as good an effect.
- Glycerine is an extremely useful product to have. By dropping a little under the eyes it will trickle slowly creating the effects of tears. It can also be stippled onto the face and body to give the effect of sweat. It does not dry out as quickly as water. Be careful not to get glycerine in the eyes as it an sting for some time. Make sure that it is cleaned off the face before the artist rubs their eyes.
- A mixture of glycerine and water is effective as sweat and can be kept in a small water spray for speed of application. It is shiny and catches the light. It does not dry up like pure water. Pure glycerine will give heavy globules, but again make sure the products are cleaned off the skin when filming is finished.
