Column: We have a fake eyelashes epidemic. I blame Fox News and the Kardashian sisters (via latimesopinion)
I’m not sure that Roger Ailes and Kim Kardashian have much in common, but I will say this: The two of them helped foist an extreme feminine aesthetic on women that lately has become a parody of itself.Thanks to the hyper-primped women of Fox News, and the overexposed Kardashian clan, fake eyelashes are not just for women who make a living appearing on camera anymore. They are disturbingly ubiquitous.
Sometimes, I see subtle but expensive lash extensions, small clumps individually glued on — either on top of the lash line or below it. But usually the women I notice are wearing very obvious strip lashes, affixed by adhesive to the top of their natural lash line.“It’s crazy,” said makeup artist Vivian Baker. “Strip lashes are everywhere. I do think people are misusing them.”
The makeup in “Bombshell” is a striking metaphor for how the women of Fox News — particularly the up-and-comers striving to fit the Barbie doll mold — surrender themselves to a contrived aesthetic that is forced and not particularly beautiful but meant to convey the“The whole Fox look was created to deal with those cameras, and lights,” said Baker. “It was very technical: This is how we look glamorous.
Margot Robbie plays the fictional character Kayla Pospisil, a naïve young woman — religious, conservative and apparently gay — who finds that the price of success at Fox is to pile on the lashes and submit to sexual predation.
