Matt Gaetz enlists beauty help from ex-drag queen George Santos
What’s with Matt Gaetz’s face?
The former Florida congressman invited disgraced ex-Rep. George Santos onto his new show Friday to swap beauty secrets after being skewered online for looking like a “Who from Whoville.”
“What’s going on with my makeup? Help me! Give me advice!” Gaetz pleaded during the second episode of his talk show, “The Matt Gaetz Show,” on One America News Network.
Santos, a former drag queen, was quick to offer a solution — “Let me tell you something, highlighter is not for you.”
“Stop highlighting the center of your face. It makes your eyes very small, and it gives you the glow — not the glow you think it gives you.”
Gaetz tried to argue that he needed to because he suffers from deep-set eyes — but his former House colleague shot him down.
Santos — who once famously had a drag persona “Kitara” — pointed to his own appearance as a perfect example.
“Look at the flawlessness in my skin. No highlighter needed!” he proclaimed.
“You’re a Florida man. I’m in Florida right now. When you’re tan and you’re a Florida man, you don’t need that level of highlighter,” he continued before imparting a final piece of “honest advice.”
“Here’s what you need to do, Matt. You need to go by yourself Double Wear foundation from Estee Lauder,” Santos said, name-dropping the high-end product that retails for $52 per ounce.
The hilarious exchange comes just one day after Gaetz’s face caused a feeding frenzy on social media.
“Holy makeup and Botox, Batman!” Democratic media strategist Vince Monroy joked on BlueSky.
“However much you might despise Matt Gaetz, his makeup person has you beat,” The Young Turks host John Iadarola said.
Plenty of other social media users chimed including one who questioned why Gaetz was “turning into a character from Spaceballs” and another who simply said: “He looks like a Who from Whoville.”
Gaetz’s makeup is the least of his concerns — as the firebrand is still embroiled in a sex scandal that places him in a hotbed of trafficking, fraud and illicit drug use, and includes allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old girl.
