J.D. Vance's "smokey eye" thing [View all]

I don't want to step on anybody's toes on this board regarding the ability of any person to make the appearance they desire without undue critique.

But what's up with Vance's terrible eye makeup? Does he apply that himself?

Who thought that was a good look for him?

Has he always worn this eyeliner? If not when did he start?

Have I offended any makeup wearers here on this board just for asking?

Trying to take the board's temperature on this.
