“Mar-a-Lago face” hits its expiration date

The once-ubiquitous MAGA makeover is showing signs of trend fatigue as online culture shifts elsewhere.

Not long ago, the “Mar-a-Lago face” seemed inescapable — a viral shorthand for an exaggerated cosmetic aesthetic marked by heavy bronzing, sharply sculpted cheeks, overly plumped lips and high-gloss polish. Think Melania Trump, Kristi Noem and Karoline Leavitt. The look spread quickly across social media, fueled by influencers, cosmetic providers and political meme culture that framed it as both aspirational and satirical. But as quickly as it rose, the trend may already be losing steam.

I truly hope that this IS the case. It is just such a hideous form of cosmetic surgery. Of course, that makes it fit in just so exquisitely with Trump’s complete lack of taste.

I think that my diary tags do a good job of describing my feelings.

This is just another example where Trump & Co. are shown to already have lost any leadership in the eyes of the majority. And the people are showing that they see through MAGA artifice and reject it.
