If you look at the left one and can't tell, that's on you ...
Also, I hate current makeup trends. Uncanny valley type of shit
As someone who doesn't keep up on make up trends, I'm not sure what you mean.
Can you point to any examples?
TBH I'm not super knowledgable about makeup, but the look on the left side, or something more or less like it, is pretty common in like celebrity spaces, porn etc., and it definitely wasn't quite like this 20 years ago. Maralago face is one variant, but the general style seems broader than that to me.
Did not know Maralago face was a thing, but I know exactly what you mean.
My (ultra-MAGA) father won't shut up about how "drop dead gorgeous" Melania Trump is....but when i look at her, she looks like she's made of plastic.
Not to necessarily knock the look; it must work for some people, and if that's how you prefer to look, don't let me shit on your day. That said, it's not for me and I'm glad my partner prefers a more au natural look.
The left picture is a pretty good example. I don't know any of the terminology but it seems to revolve around trying to make it look like they have maralago face. Just ends up looking unnatural to me.
