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.
