JD Vance rumors give new meaning to makeup of Trump ticket
The wife of Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance is claiming her husband doesn’t wear eyeliner, despite some beauty experts insisting the opposite.
When Puck asked Usha Vance about rumors the 40-year-old conservative uses “guyliner” to draw attention to his baby blues, she told the online news outlet his look is au naturel.
“They’re all natural,” Usha Vance reportedly said in a written statement. “I’ve always been jealous of those lashes.”
There has been much speculation about Vance’s eyes since he became Donald Trump’s running mate at last month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Publications including Slate have taken a long, hard look into JD Vance’s eyes. While the author of Slate’s story expressed a “gut feeling” the VP nominee doesn’t wear some sort of eye makeup, that sentiment hasn’t been universal — particularly among people in the beauty industry.
“I can’t believe it’s up for debate,” beauty writer Dana Omari-Harrell said on social media. “YES HE WEARS EYELINER.”
Usha Vance met her husband while they were students at Yale Law School in the early 2010s. They tied the knot in 2014.
When Vance received the nomination to run with Trump last month, Usha introduced him with a comment about his looks — though one that didn’t involve his striking lashes.
“The JD I knew then is the same JD you see today,” she said. “Except for that beard.”
