While women in the MAGA circle are often scrutinized for their makeup and fashion choices, Vice President JD Vance has also found himself at the center of online conversations about his appearance following a recent television appearance.
During a Tuesday, June 16, episode of The View, Vance sat down with the show’s co-hosts to promote his new book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith. But rather than focusing solely on his comments during the interview, some social media users zeroed in on his makeup and complexion.

JD Vance Goes Viral Over 'Orange' Makeup Look
Vance's eyes appeared particularly dark, prompting speculation that he was wearing eyeliner. Others commented on his seemingly orange complexion, comparing his appearance to that of President Donald Trump, who has frequently been the subject of jokes and commentary about his bronzed makeup look.
Trump has acknowledged applying makeup himself, previously explaining at a campaign rally that he does so “because if you don't put a little on you look a little bit like a dead person.”
Vance's appearance quickly became a topic of discussion on X.
One viral post featured a screenshot of the vice president during the interview, alongside the caption: “The internet had one question for JD Vance after The View: Did he borrow Donald Trump’s makeup bag?”
“JD’s makeup artist deserves a medal. Turning the vice president into a sweet potato isn’t easy work,” another person joked.
“He knows it could be any day now where he gets to step into his new role, so he’s practicing his Trump look,” someone else commented.
Usha Vance Addresses JD's Eyeliner Speculation
Another user compared his complexion to an “old-school orange popsicle,” while another wrote, “His makeup artist must hate him.”
“Yeah, he really has up the makeup quite a bit,” another person added.
However, Vance's wife, Usha Vance, has previously addressed questions about her husband's noticeably dark-looking eyes, insisting that his lashes are completely natural.
“They're all natural,” she previously said, according to Puck News. “I've always been jealous of those lashes.”
Neither Vance nor his wife has confirmed that he wears eyeliner, and the online speculation surrounding his appearance remains just that—speculation.
