Vice President JD Vance has a multitude of responsibilities, yet online discussions predominantly center around one topic: his eyes. Specifically, there is ongoing speculation regarding whether he uses eyeliner. Despite numerous denials, including statements from his wife, Usha Vance, the rumors about his seemingly enhanced eyelashes persist. Each time he appears in public, social media ignites with new jokes and renewed intrigue.
The Eyeliner Controversy
The conversation about Vance’s striking blue eyes gained momentum when he was mentioned as a potential vice presidential candidate. Even Donald Trump commented on his running mate’s appearance, stating during a Fox News interview, “He looks like a young Abraham Lincoln.” However, the current focus has shifted from his resemblance to Lincoln to his eyelashes.
Usha Vance previously informed Puck News that her husband’s prominent lashes are “completely natural,” adding, “I’ve always been envious of those lashes.” Former congressman George Santos also entered the discussion, asserting that Vance does not wear makeup. “I’ve met him in person before he became a senator, and I can confirm he has long eyelashes. They cast a shadow on his waterline in brightly lit studios,” Santos posted on X in October 2024.
Nevertheless, social media remains skeptical. One user responded, “Yes, he does. Is it from Sephora or Ulta?” Emo Vibes and Maybelline Jokes
The eyeliner speculation resurfaced once more during a recent meeting involving Vance, Donald Trump, and Irish leader Micheál Martin. Journalist Aaron Rupar shared a clip of Vance speaking, humorously noting, “JD Vance went heavy on the eyeliner this morning.”
This remark triggered a flurry of reactions. One user quipped, “He’s in his emo phase.” Another inquired, “Why does this guy always look like he’s about to launch into an emo ballad?” The beauty-related jests continued, with one tweet stating, “Maybelline called and said they’ve had to increase eyeliner production to meet JD Vance’s demand.”Despite being booed at the Kennedy Center on March 13, a humorous remark was made: “People likely react similarly when Vance enters cinemas, dining establishments, or the eyeliner aisle at Sephora.” Critics or Just Envious? Although much of the mockery originates from Vance’s detractors, some suggest that the intrigue is driven by jealousy. “They’re merely envious of his striking eyes,” remarked one supporter.
So, does JD Vance genuinely use eyeliner, or is he merely fortunate to have naturally prominent lashes? Regardless, the online community seems unwilling to let this enigma fade away anytime soon.
