Make-up and glamour ideas are constantly evolving. Some reinvent techniques using traditional products, while others introduce innovative methods that often shock social media. Recently, a new style, called the Bebot makeup trend, inspired by the early 2000s, has been gaining popularity on Instagram, reviving the glitter, dramatic flair, and party-ready glamour that once dominated the fashion scene.
This makeup technique draws inspiration from Bebot, the eighth single from Monkey Business by the Black Eyed Peas.
The title, a Filipino slang meaning pretty woman, and its American-Filipino party-themed music video iconic of 2000s glam — glossy lips, smoky eyes, and bold confidence. Unsurprisingly, the trend is ruling the ’gram. To save you the long scroll, My Kolkata has handpicked five reels to help you start practising today.

Theme red is the trend winner
Are you dying of boredom in your house? Why not pick out something in red from your closet, let your tresses sway, and your Bebot look outshine the dull night? Try it out this look this weekend, as recommended by content creator Sharmili Chakraborty.
Worth the wait? Absolutely

Run away from social media trends, but ‘in style’
If you are a black sheep and are too lazy to keep up with social media viral reels, then hop into your comfy pajamas, play Bebot on your speaker and ease out on your sofa. Video and confidence courtesy are owned by Tanvi Karekar.
