MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: Former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle recently made headlines for her dramatic appearance at the Republican National Convention (RNC), as reported by The Sun.

Known for her bold fashion choices, Guilfoyle surprised attendees and viewers with an unexpectedly heavy makeup look, which many felt overshadowed her usual style.

Dressed in a navy blue dress and adorned with a pearl necklace, she appeared almost unrecognizable compared to her previous public appearances.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, is currently engaged to Donald Trump Jr, and the couple have been prominent supporters of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

At the RNC, she was seen mingling with key figures, including Trump’s new vice president pick, JD Vance. Despite her significant role and cheerful demeanor, it was her makeup that stole the spotlight.

Critics pointed out that her foundation seemed excessively thick, and her eye makeup was deemed overly intense.

Guilfoyle's public life has been as eventful as her appearances. Before her engagement to Trump Jr, she was married to California Governor Gavin Newsom. The couple once referred to as '"The New Kennedys" by Harper’s Bazaar in 2004, were seen as a political power duo.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 02: Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric Trump arrive at New York Supreme Court for former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial on November 02, 2023 in New York City. Trump's children, Donald Jr., Eric and daughter Ivanka, are all expected to testify at their father's trial in the coming days. The former president may be forced to sell off his properties after Justice Engoron canceled his business certificates and ruled that he committed fraud for years while building his real estate empire after being sued by Attorney General Letitia James, seeking $250 million in damages. The trial will determine how much he and his companies will be penalized for the fraud. (Photo by David Dee Delgado/Getty Images)

Their marriage, which lasted from 2001 to 2006, ended reportedly due to the demands of their respective careers. However, later reports, such as one from People, suggested that Newsom's affair with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, the wife of his then-campaign manager, played a role in their split.

After her marriage to Newsom, Guilfoyle married Eric Villency in 2006. The couple welcomed a son, Ronan, in 2006 but divorced in 2009.

Guilfoyle's transition from a Democratic political marriage to her current relationship with Trump Jr, a prominent figure in Republican circles, marks a significant shift in her political affiliations.

Her relationship with Trump Jr. started after his divorce from Vanessa Haydon, with whom he has five children. Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. have been together since 2018, and their relationship became public shortly after his divorce.

They got engaged on New Year's Eve 2020, further cementing their status as a notable couple in political and social spheres.

Kimberly Guilfoyle's RNC makeup sparks mockery online

The reaction to Kimberly Guilfoyle's RNC makeup was swift and largely critical on social media.

One X user said, "Kimberly Guilfoyle has ruined her looks, just like Ivana. You can't see her eyes for layers of makeup and fake eyelashes. Then there's her bee-stung lips. She was really a pretty woman before she let the plastic surgeons tincker." [sic]



 

While another remarked, "Kimberly Guilfoyle comes across as too angry. And what’s up with all the caked-on black makeup around her eyes and obvious plastic surgery? Why do women do that to themselves."



 

A user wrote, "Not for nothing… it looks like Kimberly Guilfoyle hit the wall, literally. Too much plastic surgery and makeup. Her speech delivery is as nasty as her look. Who’s the artist that put her together… Picasso? Oof."



 

Another user mentioned, "Kimberly guilfoyle looks rough...please, can someone tell her the eye makeup has to go." [sic]



 

One user posted, "Kimberly Guilfoyle has way to much makeup on, a large mouth, and a jawline most guys would like to own. She is also a horrible speaker but I have to listen I want to know what is going on. If she was not with DJT Jr she would not be speaking." [sic]



 

A user commented, "Can someone tell her to hire a new makeup artist? Tone it down lady." [sic]



 

Another user stated, "I can't stand looking at Kimberly Guilfoyle. She used to have a soft beauty. Now her lips look abnormal & bulbous. Her jaw seems to jut out oddly, and the dark makeup on her eyes makes her look witchy. Not a good look. Even her voice is odd. Why did she do this to herself?"



 

Lastly, a user said, "I like Kimberly Guilfoyle,but looking at her in the background,she needs to go back to her original beautiful makeup when she was on Fox.Way too much black eyeshadow,and lip Botox/filler." [sic]
