Ever wonder how cosplay girls get that wide-eyed, cheerful, “moe” look? It’s more than simply good genetics. It’s not even an illusion of eye shadow. No, it’s far more involved than that.

This mind-blowing video demonstrates a product that helps Asian women achieve that wide-eyed look, through the use of an eyelid adhesive and a two-pronged fork they shove into their skull. This is not for those who are squeamish about their eyes, since the device is used to push he eyelid back into the eye socket to the point to where you can see the top portion of the eyeball.

I will hand it to them, though, you can see from the “before” and “after” footage that the product does give visible results. I give a lot of respect to the girls who are willing to put themselves through that for their costumes. You have to have either a deep passion for cosplay or work in the field professionally in order to make the ordeal worth it.

Meanwhile, I’m saying, “Ow ow ow ow ow owowowowow!”
