TIL about the “Mar-a-Lago face” a bold plastic surgery and fashion trend popular among American conservative and Republican circles. It’s characterized by “detectable” facial modifications, including exaggerated Botox, visible fillers, extreme tanning, fake eyelashes, dark smokey eyes, and full lips. The look is often seen as a status symbol and a way to signal political allegiance, inspired by figures in Donald Trump’s inner circle. The trend is so distinctive that it’s been described as a “visual shorthand” for wealth, power, and identity within these groups.

    It’s just bad plastic surgery for people with no taste; nothing really conservative about that but it sure seems to happen a lot in the red cap circles.

    Lips, buccal fat removal, some jaw restructuring perhaps and hella facelift/botox.

      Yes, they just check all the boxes for stereotypical “beautiful” features and somehow miss the point of a human beauty.

      It’s like someone with face blindness deciding if your face is beautiful.

        It’s like having an overweight, pants-shitting draft-dodger as “strongman commander-in-chief.” Or discussing the Nobel Peace Prize for Shitler 2.0. Or rain on your wedding day.
