20 Interesting Eye Bag Makeup Trend Ideas

Have you ever heard something like eye bag makeup? As far as makeup goes, our under eyes are the bane of our existence. They’re crinkly, crepey, and usually a little bit darker than the rest of our face. I know there’s no use in trying to change that because it’s just how under eyes work — but God, do they make makeup application difficult. Thankfully, dark under-eye circles are welcome on TikTok, where users frequently post makeup tutorials on how to get a grungy and disheveled look that anyone over the age of 25 can accomplish by merely existing.

The famous makeup tiktoker pippabarnes is completely over the top in the best way possible with her colorful take on eye bag makeup, which looks like gothic raccoon eyes met a technicolor rainbow.

“Apparently eye bags are a trend now — which I’m not going to argue with because, clearly, I have some definite baggage going on,” she jokes in her colorful eye bag tutorial video. “Y’all know I had to spice this trend up a bit.”.

Her process for achieving a colorful eye bag look is ultimately similar to that of a vibrant smoky eye — just on the bottom portion of the eye instead of the top. After all her base makeup is done, Barnes applies an eye shadow primer on her eyelids and her under eyes (like most people would with concealer). Then — and here’s the somewhat intimidating part — she emphasizes the shape of her eye bags by tapping a healthy dose of matte black eye shadow along the lower lash line and in a curved shape near the sides of her nose with a dense eye shadow brush.

What follows is a ton of blending with a small fluffy brush and various shades of blue eye shadow, which she uses to create a dark-to-light gradient that spans from her lower lash line all the way toward her cheekbones.

As the rest of Barnes’ TikTok and Instagram posts prove, there’s no one correct way to do this flourishing trend — she’s showcased sparkly pastel eye bags, dark and gritty eye bags, and everything in-between throughout the past year or so.

She surely makes an intriguing argument for embracing rather than concealing the facial features we aren’t the biggest fans of. Plus, there’s no time like the present to try something new and daring with your look. “Try practicing in the safety of your bedroom for a while and just get used to seeing yourself with the [eye bag] makeup,” Barnes advises to the trend’s newcomers. “Just look at all the others trying this trend and see for yourself just how hot eye bags are on everyone, especially when you add color — ‘cause everything’s better with color.”
