Why do we all want to turn into Bebots? Spoiler: a song by the Black Eyed Peas has something to do with it

If you thought the Blythe Doll make-up was one of the weirdest beauty trends of the moment, you were very mistaken. Recently, in fact, it-girls no longer aspire to transform into retro dolls with giant eyes, but rather to look confident and bold thanks to Bebot make-up, a look that has gone viral on social media, boosted by a hit song from the early 2000s.

Make-up trends 2026: what is Bebot make-up

Inspired by the chorus of the song of the same name by the Black Eyed Peas, Bebot make-up is already one of the most loved and recreated looks on TikTok. Somewhere between a baddie aesthetic in perfect Anna Pepe style and a make-up look that finally says goodbye to the overly classy clean girl vibe, it’s a full-face look, skin, eyes, and lips, that draws from Filipino slang to describe a girl who is attractive, sassy, and outrageously cool. Whether or not it’s just another trend destined to fade within a few months, we like to see Bebot make-up as a nostalgic invitation to rediscover the confidence within each of us, through a beauty look that encourages us to be as bold and fearless as only true “bebots” can be.

Steps and products to create a Bebot make-up

If you want to achieve a flawless Bebot make-up look, just follow a few simple steps. Start with your base: use a filter-effect foundation that instantly perfects the complexion. If you want an extra touch of glow, blend a liquid highlighter onto your cheekbones for a radiant, luminous finish. Next, focus on the eye make-up: enhance it with shimmer eyeshadows paired with a black pencil blended in a slightly messy way. On the lashes, a coat of volumizing mascara is enough to boost fullness and volume in one swipe. Finish everything off with a distinctly Y2K lip combo: a brown lip liner blended into a creamy brown palette, topped with a matching lip gloss infused with glitter and pearlescent, jewel-like reflections.
