Karoline Leavitt Falls Victim To Big Beauty Blunder That's All Too Common

Karoline Leavitt is guilty of eyebrow blindness. In case you forgot the term, the beauty hazard became a viral term on TikTok in 2024 as makeup artists and makeup lovers alike spoke about the mistakes we make when we see a feature on our face all the time and become blind to how it actually looks. Eyebrow blindness in particular is what leads so many people to try eyebrow trends that are either too overdone, to thin, or simply unflattering for their face shape. It's a unique type of obliviousness that's protected by unspoken acceptance that a certain look is trending (See the 2016 Instagram brows that were on nearly every celebrity, regardless of face shape). The blindness comes in when someone doesn't see the problem anymore. 

Eyebrow blindness a fashion blunder that's all too common for many people but on someone who is on camera as part of their job, it's especially jarring. Leavitt has made several makeup mistakes that are hard to ignore, including misplaced contour and overdone foundation. But if we were to rank the errors that are simply unforgivable, her eyebrow blunders are hard to overlook. The White House press secretary frequently draws her arches with a dark shade of brown, despite the hair on her head being a light blond shade. The result is a brow that looks too heavy for her features.

Being a press secretary can't be an easy job, and it's reasonable to assume Karoline Leavitt may have had a hard time adjusting to the pressure that comes with being in the spotlight. To be sure, she's the youngest White House press secretary in history, but there are certain expectations that come with the job that she's still figuring out. Leavitt has certainly gotten a lot of attention for her eyebrows, but it's far from the only topic people are discussing when it comes to how she presents herself. 

In fact, in images we've seen of Leavitt without makeup on, she looks pretty and fresh, showing that the natural canvas she has doesn't require such a heavy-hand with brow products. In one video that she posted online, Leavitt gave fans a glimpse into her beauty routine where she shared that she uses Too Faced Brow Wig Brush on Brow Gel. While we all love product recommendations, she could certainly get away with using less. 

She has also struggled with other elements of her appearance, a hazard for a job that often involves cameras and photographs. The press secretary's personal style is a conservative one, which is perfectly fine. However, Leavitt's outfits have often ended up looking frumpy and don't flatter her. We're hoping it's just an issue of being new on the job, and that Leavitt will figure out her personal style and what looks best on her, eyebrows included.
