Chrissy Teigen’s glam session is making waves online, but not for the reasons she may have hoped. A behind-the-scenes video showing the model and TV personality getting her makeup done went viral, sparking a wave of harsh criticism and biting commentary across social media. In the short video, Teigen is seen sitting calmly while a makeup artist applies heavy contouring and highlights to her face. Hair stylists work simultaneously to perfect her look as she prepares for what appears to be a professional shoot. While routine for celebrities, the clip quickly became a lightning rod for ridicule.
One viral post sneered, “It takes hours before one can make Chrissy Teigen look like a female.” Another piled on with, “She is homely actually!” Some mocked the amount of effort it takes to glam her up, with one writing, “She needs every minute to make it work.” Another harshly remarked, “The makeup is not helping. Demons can’t be hidden with makeup.”
Critics also zeroed in on her appearance and complexion. “Look how dark they are making her! She and Markle have a lot in common!” one person said, while another called her a “pie faced bully.” Others suggested she deliberately alters her look, with one user commenting, “Funny how she adds dark to look more exotic and her best buddy has used products to make her look less exotic.”
Chrissy Teigen’s Outspokenness Keeps Her Polarizing Online
Teigen has long been a lightning rod for internet vitriol. Despite her successful career as a cookbook author, TV host, and wife to Grammy-winning musician John Legend, her outspoken nature on social media and history of feuds with other celebrities have left her with a loyal fan base but also an army of detractors ready to pounce on any public moment.
The harsh commentary also echoes one of Teigen’s most infamous public spats, her years-long feud with President Donald Trump. Teigen was one of Trump’s most vocal celebrity critics on Twitter during his first presidency, repeatedly mocking him online. Trump eventually blocked her on the platform, later infamously calling her “filthy-mouthed” in a now-viral rant.
