It’s been said that when you get plastic surgery, you don’t look older or younger, but a secret third thing: weird.
For MAGA women with cosmetically altered faces, it’s a secret fourth thing, too: a sign that you’re part of the club.
“Mar-a-Lago face” ― named for President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, residence and exclusive members-only club ― is a caricature of femininity, and all but a requirement for women climbing the ranks in MAGA world.
It’s a bit uncanny valley, but you know the look when you see it: The Mar-a-Lago-faced might start with lip injections, then move to Botox to achieve that taut, almost painfully tight-looking skin. Cheek filler to restore lost volume in the cheekbones rounds out the face.
A golden tan is a must (but that’s true even for men in Trump world), as are blown-out, beachy waves. Lash extensions and veneers are always a plus. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made a promotional video to advertise the clinic where she got her veneers a few years back.
