The internet's having a tough time differentiating between arts and craft supplies and beauty offerings as of late. See: glitter lip art, terranium eyes, bejeweled undercuts, and now? Pom pom eye makeup.

That's right, those furry little balls you used to fluff up your art projects once upon a time are now serving as fancy appliqué for colorful eye looks. Adding both dimension and playfulness, MUAs are spangling the area around the eyes, then adding even more embellishment with glitter, sequins, and stickers.
