I looked it up, but I ended up with stuff like this. Is the joke just that the bear is wearing eye makeup?

I believe that is the joke, yeah. “Panda eyes” are what you get if you wear cheap mascara, but I don’t think they were going in that direction. Just a panda trying a new look out in the bamboo forests of southern China, and its peers aren’t buying it.
“Is the joke just that the bear is wearing eye makeup?”
I think maybe it’s because they’re pandas, which already have black around their eyes. Maybe the implication is that they’re all wearing makeup, but she decided to go with the smoky/smudged method?
I think it’s another one of those where the writer had the pieces of a joke, but wasn’t sure where to place them.
The joke is that this wild animal is aware of popular internet makeup trends and is defensive about it. The cartoonist went with a panda because it’s the closest animal in nature to already kind of look like it uses eye makeup.
I just checked with Theodore, the head of my teddy bear (and friends) den and his wife, Tedette, as well with a few of the Pandas (Mr and Mrs.) and none have heard of eye lids becoming like this.
Knowing them – they will probably question other leaders of their den to double check.
NO – none of the bears (and when Christmas ornament and decoration bears are included there are at least 200 of them) have heard of eye lids becoming like this!

In the past I’d heard of the Racoon Eyed makeup look.
