Step 1

Open up the picture and reduce the size to 600 x 328 pixels with Image > Image Size. Then select the Pen Tool and try to make a good shape of the tear with black. Make sure that the shape is uneven, similar to a real tear.

Step 3

Looks good, but not so realistic right now. We need to add some white glare to the tear. Select the Pencil Tool set to about 1 pixel, then make a few dots with white on a new layer as shown on my picture below.
