📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 130 asks "How to make a beautiful woman stop crying?" A blonde woman in a pink dress sits on the bed weeping. On the vanity table by the mirror lies a tube of lipstick, a lamp glows on the nightstand, and a bucket of popcorn sits on the floor. The victory line, "I look so beautiful when I cry!", appears once she is admiring herself.

Step-by-Step Solution
- See her crying. The woman is weeping on the bed, upset about her appearance.
- Notice the lipstick. A tube of lipstick sits on the vanity table beside the mirror.
- Give her the lipstick / let her do her makeup. Put on the lipstick and seat her at the vanity mirror.
- She admires herself. Looking in the mirror with lipstick on, she thinks she looks lovely.
- Confirm. Sparkles surround her as she poses at the mirror, no longer sad. The screen says "I look so beautiful when I cry!" and the level is cleared.
Strategy & Reasoning
This is a vanity puzzle. The woman is crying not out of sadness but because she feels unattractive. The way to cheer her up is not to comfort her or hand her tissues, but to make her feel beautiful again.
The lipstick on the vanity is the key item. Once she puts it on and sees herself in the mirror, she is delighted by how she looks — to the point that she decides crying even looks good on her. The caption's joke is that her tears do not matter once she feels pretty.
The popcorn and lamp are decoration. The lesson is to address her vanity: the lipstick and mirror are what stop her tears.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: handing her tissues. That only dries her eyes; it does not cheer her up.
- Mistake: comforting her verbally. Words do not fix what is bothering her.
- Mistake: ignoring the lipstick. Use the lipstick on the vanity so she sees herself looking beautiful in the mirror.
Walkthrough Notes
She is crying, but handing tissues does not cheer her. The lipstick on the vanity is the clue: her tears are about feeling unattractive. Give her the lipstick and seat her at the mirror so she sees herself looking beautiful. The victory line "I look so beautiful when I cry!" confirms it. Compare this with comforting words: vanity is the real issue. The lipstick and mirror are the answer.
Why It Works
She is crying, but tissues and comforting words only dry tears without addressing why. The lipstick on the vanity is the cue: her distress is vanity-based. Once she puts on lipstick and sees herself in the mirror, she feels attractive and stops crying. The popcorn is irrelevant. The humor is that her sadness vanishes the moment she thinks she looks pretty. The lesson is to fix her self-image, not comfort her feelings.
