J.D. Vance appeared on ‘The View’ last week to promote his second memoir: Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, but neither the hosts nor viewers paid much attention to his recent publication. While hosts peppered him with questions about immigration, ICE detention centers, the Epstein files, and controversial statements his counterpart, Donald Trump, has made, viewers couldn’t pay much attention to anything other than the makeup he was wearing.

JD Vance Turns To Makeup For 'The View' Appearance

It's normal for anyone appearing on television to visit hair and makeup before the show begins, but J.D. Vance may have gone a little overboard for his appearance on The View earlier this week.

Vance came onto the show to promote his new memoir, Communion, but the episode much more resembled an interrogation room, as co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro shot question after question toward Vance, most about the Trump administration and their policies.

Viewers, however, could really only focus on one thing: J.D. Vance's makeup. He appeared to be sporting a thick application of eyeliner and a heavy coat of orange bronzer, which some users suggested he borrowed from Donald Trump, given the shades are quite similar.

Social Media Reactions

Across social media platforms, users were quite distracted by J.D. Vance's choice of makeup products that they didn't pay attention to much else. "The makeup J.D. Vance wears is insane!" wrote one person on X. "Eye liner & shadow for hooded eyes, same bronzer as Trump, cheek contour, & lip stain. The Trump Admin are not serious professionals!"

"J.D. Vance had the most makeup of anyone at the table!" one person pointed out.

"J.D. Vance has on more makeup than a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race," agreed the next.

"I think Trump must have loaned him his orange makeup!" laughed another user.

"This makeup is bad," said the next. "Whoever was in charge of his makeup did him dirty!"

"What is it with this administration and caking on the foundation?" asked a final user. "And in the wrong shade, at that!"
