Yes, though I would probably write "big, black bags under". Around means all round, I usually "bags" are under the eyes.Originally Posted by piousoul

I saw Tyra have these big and black bags around her eyes when she didn't wear makeup.
Is this sentence correct?

"Saw" is fine, but it should say "had" instead of "have."

Thank you, Ouisch, for the comment. Originally Posted by Ouisch

By the way, there is a similar thread started by me with the title of "Are they correct" on the same front page.
Would you like to take a look at it and make some comments? Thanks.
