If you notice there's an eyeliner shortage in Colorado, U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert may be to blame. The gun rights activist is known for over-the-top beauty looks, including that time Boebert wore enough makeup for both herself and President Donald Trump — but a throwback photo really highlights just how heavy on the cosmetics she tends to go. In the snapshot, which was posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, back in 2023, the mother of four holds what looks like an apple while smiling for the camera
wearing her signature specs. It's actually a pretty cute photo, comparatively speaking, except of course for the fact that Boebert practically used an entire tube of eyeliner on herself.

Seriously, if anyone ever doubted where the controversial congresswoman's eyes end and her undereye area begins, Boebert's excessive use of eyeliner solved that mystery once and for all. It's hard not to think of fellow MAGA member JD Vance, who has sent eyeliner rumors into overdrive on numerous occasions. Back in May 2025, Trump's second-in-command hosted a breakfast at his house for law enforcement during National Police Week. The kind gesture went overlooked, however, after photos from the event hit the internet and people couldn't help but notice that Vance's eyeliner was thicker than ever.
Obviously, there is nothing wrong with eyeliner, and guys can totally wear it, too — hello, My Chemical Romance. But, we wanted to see what Vance looked like without eyeliner, so we made it happen and were very surprised by the results. His eyes looked softer, whereas if we removed all that gunk from Boebert's face, hers would probably look much smaller.

Lauren Boebert's Eyeliner Feels Like Overkill When She's Wearing Her Glasses
Considering that Lauren Boebert looks unrecognizable without her glasses, it makes a certain amount of sense that the U.S. representative would want to pile on the eyeliner if she felt like her eyes were "naked" — which is exactly what Boebert did back in March 2024. The divisive politician posted a selfie on X where she ditched her signature specs, and you can easily see just how much eyeliner she applied. But choosing to wear her glasses and cake on the eyeliner like in the aforementioned 2023 snapshot? Too much of a good thing.
After all, the point of eyeliner is to accentuate the eyes. Why go that hard on it if you're going to wear glasses all day? In comparison, Vice President JD Vance never wears glasses, which makes his rumored eyeliner really pop. When he was in law school at Yale, Vance allegedly dressed in drag for a party, including donning his now-signature eyeliner.
A photo made the rounds on X, and although the ratty blonde wig stood out, the emo-level amount of eyeliner the future politician applied was undeniable. It's giving when you get off work at Hot Topic at 7 but have a drag show at 8. Regardless of how you feel about Boebert and Vance's excessive use of eyeliner, one thing is for sure: A little bit can go a long way.
