Video summary
In this satirical makeup tutorial video titled "An Erika Kirk Makeup Tutorial," the creator adopts a persona that ironically mimics conservative political figures, specifically targeting the public image of Erica Kirk, Charlie Kirk's estranged widow. The host begins by addressing her audience with biting sarcasm toward MAGA supporters and transphobic rhetoric, framing the entire transformation as an act of "decontamination" rather than genuine criticism. She explicitly states that while she is not a Republican herself, she will channel what she perceives as their specific aesthetic choices to highlight perceived flaws in their beauty standards. The video serves as a critique of how certain political groups prioritize appearance for the male gaze and often neglect basic skincare or use harsh products like bleach instead of sunscreen, all while actively legislating against marginalized communities.
The transformation process focuses heavily on exaggerated features that are stereotypically associated with the conservative demographic in her view, such as blocky eyebrows, heavy black eyeliner applied unevenly, and a distinct white powder under-eye look known for looking unnatural on monolid eyes. The creator intentionally applies makeup poorly to satirize these styles, noting how Republicans often highlight brow bones excessively or use contouring that creates an "ashy" orange tone rather than natural skin tones. She mocks the specific technique of drawing fake wrinkles and sad mouth lines to convey a perpetual state of anger or mourning for political causes, arguing that this style is designed to alienate queer people and minorities while appealing to a narrow definition of beauty rooted in white supremacy.
As the tutorial progresses, the host incorporates absurd elements like hot pink lip liners used to make lips appear smaller and thinner, further emphasizing the artificiality she claims these individuals embrace. She struggles with applying a bright orange-blonde wig that lacks a cap, joking about her discomfort while maintaining character until the final reveal of "Hillary Clinton Neapolitan ice cream" hair colors mixed with conservative politics. Throughout the process, she intersperses dark humor regarding ICE agents, abortion rights, and the fear these groups instill in LGBTQ+ individuals, suggesting that embracing this hatred can fuel one's creativity as an artist. The video concludes with a self-deprecating look at the finished result, where the creator admits to feeling dysphoria not just about gender but politically, before signing off by asking viewers which other conservative figure she should parody next and encouraging them to vote for Trump in her final joke-filled sign-off.

Hi conservatives and MAGA heads. My name
is Freddy, your favorite cis white
woman. I'm kidding. Hi y'all, my name is
Freddy. We're doing Erica Kirk makeup
today. Last year we did Nancy Mace and
it's only fair that we do every woman in
the girl group. Comment below your bias.
But first, I need to decontify. I need a
reference. If you don't know who Erica
Kirk is, she's estranged widow of
Charlie Kirk. Before you type
>> Oh, we should be kinder to them. Making
fun of someone's appearance is wrong.
>> These are the people legislating against
trans people. I don't give a [ __ ] about
you. They are subhumans who have white
supremacist power and are actively
taking away queer rights. And also, what
has being gentle to them gotten us any
time? I did Nancy Mace makeup a year
ago. Let me know how things have gone
being kind to them. Also, it's someone's
makeup, not someone's appearance. You
chose to look like that. We need our
contacts. So sorry to the people who are
blue eyed. A lot of you scare me now
just because of it cuz I can't unsee
this. I want to apologize to the blue
eyed community. Y'all deserve better
than these people to represent you.
Stop.
>> [laughter]
>> Your blue eyes are different though.
They don't have that deranged stare.
>> No, they have that um sad boy, I'm
depressed look. Someone commented,
"Layton has those sad [music] boy eyes.
I dig it."
Now, I couldn't search up MAGA eye
contacts. So these are just ones from
Ulta's. Don't scream at the tool. I got
small eyes. I have monolid and nails.
This makes it easier. Oh yeah, hi y'all.
I just I'm so sad about it. Israel.
Wait, what did she say? "I'm just so sad
about him, but we have to be sadder
about Israel." The red headband kind of
doesn't have I There's a lot of red in
this.
>> Red.
>> Y'all know I'm not a Republican, right?
This is kind Asian woman. This is Asian
woman who married a conservative man. Is
it scary yet? It's actually not bad. I
mean, contacts are for everyone. The
blue eyes don't matter if you don't have
evil behind them. So let's drown that
evil.
We do eyes first on this page. Do you
see it yet?
First, I need to lower my eyebrow. She
has eyebrows that are like down to here.
They're a little blocky. Actually,
they're a lot blocky. You know what's so
funny? They may be transphobic, but
Erika
no shade a little full shade with the
makeup. She kind of has a bricky brow.
Let me get you on a Manon brow, Erika.
It will do you wonders. It's like a
Minecraft block up here. I'm just so
fascinated by the way Republicans do
their makeup because it's so different
from what I would do. Hey, this is a
makeup study, by the way. I'm learning
here. Makeup is art, and I'm one
manifesting IT RIGHT NOW.
HEY, DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE? Y'all
don't believe me when I say the eyebrows
are the first part of your transition.
My eyebrows kind of look like this back
then. Actually, that's a lie. They did
not look that bad.
>> Hey, what is this, honey?
>> But, this is what we have. Sorry to
everyone who has these eyebrows. You
might unintentionally look like someone
who would take away abortion rights and
what slurs out in the street. They're a
little dark. I'm going to lighten them a
little. She's got that Korean
annyeonghaseyo brow, where it's a little
bit of brow bleach. How do I lighten
this? Just make it ashier?
I am doing Layden, my ex-husband's
makeup on stream. We're going to turn
him into Erika Curcan as well. That
should be on the VOD page for now, but
go follow the Twitch stream if you like
super [ __ ] like this. All right, I'm
going to take some eyeshadow and just
like set it, and there we go.
Annyeonghaseyo.
I'm so sorry. A few times a year, Freddy
unleashes this nurse she's out again.
You've got to let me get out of my
system.
I'm going to draw in the brow hairs,
Valentina, to make it more believable.
All right, what's next? Now, we're going
to carve out the brow. Got to remember I
can't do it too well. It has to be done
poorly, but oh, I should go lighter. I
forgot I'm supposed to be a little more
pale. I don't know if I should go pale
or orange. There is a certain spray tan
look to them as well. Like that, that's
kind of too good. I shouldn't have cut
that so well. Damn it, Freddy. If you
know how to sing, it's hard to sing
off-key on purpose, so I'm trying to do
my makeup poorly on purpose. Maybe I
just close my eyes. Channel the
religious psychosis they're in. I'm just
going to get it over with. This is what
they do. They also highlight the brow
bone. I don't recommend doing this. It
brings it forward. I never like doing
this. Don't know why they do it. Need to
ask their makeup artist. How do I wipe
this on my nose? We're going to use this
palette, beautiful palette. So sorry to
what I'm about to do. It's from Blend
Bunny for Leslie the code and yes,
that's real. I'm going to take not a
blending brush. We're going to go
straight into that BLACK AND JUST
>> [screaming]
>> PACK IT ON, SISTER.
>> [laughter]
>> OH GOD. I DON'T
OH, she's she's coming alive. It's at
least blended a little bit. I just feel
like I need to get in the mindset of
her. I found this out recently. The
reason why Republicans look like this is
because they do makeup for the male
gaze. Never the male gaze the way we
like some of y'all. If you look back at
the adult films of that time, since most
of these Republican women paint for that
crowd, this is the makeup. The reason
why it looks worse is because they do
MLM makeup cuz they think everything is
toxic and sunscreen is cancer. I have to
like lower this. I need to make my eye
bigger, but also have a double eyelid. I
think I went too high. Let me blend that
out. Yeah, there we go.
We're done. They do love black eyeliner.
They don't like black people. They'll go
out to eat Mexican food, but also send
out ICE agents. And to the ICE agents
who aren't white, I've seen Asian ones,
I've seen Mexican ones, stand the [ __ ]
up. They're not watching, but like [ __ ]
you. This whole video is just for our
community to poke fun and have a little
bit of a laugh in the midst of every
[ __ ] thing that's happening. And
what's so sad is this black eyeliner
propaganda, besides the white propaganda
they're doing. They're doing black
eyeliner propaganda and making it seem
like it looks bad. I do it all the time.
It looks like this. The trick is to not
vote for Trump and then you won't look
like a mess. So, she blends it out
probably with more black eyeshadow,
which I don't recommend. You know, she
doesn't have time to do her makeup.
She's busy going on her world tour her
sorry, not just a book tour, her
grieving tour. And I know we shouldn't
judge how humans grieve. However, I
don't believe these are humans. I
believe they're aliens in skin suits and
also on PDF files, not even in hiding.
They're just out and about. I'll do a
little bit of a wing. We'll give her a
little
natural wing today. She could learn a
lot from a Freddy Chen tutorial. What if
what
I just thought [snorts] about like the
off chance of one of them finding my
videos. Cuz Nancy Mace is from my state,
South Carolina. Erica Kirk is from well,
the [ __ ] that is America. They also
could be tracking this. I love my
president. I love this [music] country.
I am a cisgender white woman. What are
you talking about? I hate looking at
myself. Oh my god, I'm getting like
dysphoria in a new way. Like this isn't
gender dysphoria. This is political
dysphoria. All right, here's the
progress.
Oh, I forgot. They do this thing. They
love an inner corner highlight. They
love a Julian highlight. Stolen valor.
So, first we're going to do the tight
line. Perfect. It's uneven. That's
great. Biblically accurate. Going to
take some white powder, which I know
they love starting. Mm. Trust me, y'all.
I live in LA. They do it. What's a
highlight? What do we need? Should I get
Tarte Cosmetics?
Inner corner. More. More. More rights
taken away. More. I should not say that.
I love that. We have neighbors.
The thing is it doesn't look that bad.
>> I mean it looks bad.
>> We know how I do makeup here. But it
could be a good look. I could do a
separate tutorial that's like Erica Kirk
if she slayed and wasn't dick riding
J.D. Vance every day and Trump
simultaneously. Kind of powerful
honestly to do that. Also not usually
Trump's type since he goes for younger.
I'm going to do my mascara, but I'm not
going to let it dry fully. I'm just
going to start blinking away. There we
go. That. That. You see that? Oh, I love
this.
I love makeup so much.
>> Stop.
>> Please just stop. Oh, wait. She does the
white under eye. Mm. Mm. I messed up. I
forgot. The signature of Republican
makeup is this white under eye. Remember
what I said about white powder? Yeah,
they like it under their eyes as well.
And it just looks it just looks wrong.
Especially on monoliths, this looks
extra crazy. Like, look at that. Unless
you stylize it, which they don't know
what that means. There we go. She's
coming out. I'm coming out.
Have I assimilated yet? Does it look
like I would harass you in school yet?
I'm going to do two layers. Two, count
them, two layers of the white supremacy
liner. It's actually a really good
liner. I'm so sorry I'm ruining the
makeup. Like, I've offended every one of
my products. Usually, I treat them with
care and respect, but they don't know
what that is. Maybe it's because they
never had it as a kid. They just don't
know another way to be besides, um,
being a piece of [ __ ] A piece of Gracie
Abrams. Botched nose job time. We're
going to go a little bit extreme with
the contour cuz that's makeup. You need
the illusion. Also, this one kind of
runs patchy and, um, that's what they
like.
Stop.
I'm going to go straight down. Straight
down. No gay things allowed.
Homosexuality gone. She's got a pinched
nose. You got to get rid of the
Southeast Asia. And then here, and then
here. And you are pissing me off, this
fat string of hair. Go back. I'm doing
her nose like I'm thinking of Nancy Mace
and I should be thinking more Erica
Kirk. They're just so such unique
individuals. I have to make sure each of
them get their own spotlight. So, Erica
Kirk has more of a wider whatever this
place is called in between. Oh, it's
getting ashy. You know what? That
actually looks better. I'll leave it
like that. Yeah, like that is more her
bridge. She's got kind of a button nose.
Her nose is actually really pretty and,
uh, it sucks that it's on her. Ooh.
You know what?
This is evil,
but I am. Eyeliner underneath the nose.
Ew, look at this. Wow, THAT LOOKS
DISGUSTING. I LOVE IT. THIS is like
cosplay technique, which is what we're
doing, so. And then this concealer,
wider around here.
I don't know what the [ __ ] I just did,
but girl, you look a mess. Stream pretty
ugly by Zara Larsson. Now, the trick
powder highlighter that will really get
that, you know, European nose effect.
I've gone back to too much contour. We
need to reverse it. I need to bronze
again the orange way. Where's Trump's
color? Where are you? Like we want very
orange. I know what I scared them.
Naranja. You think they have nightmares
about like if they hear someone speaking
Spanish, do you THINK THEY JUST
EVERY TIME THEY SEE a trans person
and if you're not white. Actually, if
you're just queer, marginalized in any
way, congratulations. You have so much
power over these people cuz you instill
fear onto them and you pull out this
like visceral hate that they have inside
their heart. Embrace that, okay? Nurture
it. Let that hate fuel your heart and it
lets you do things like this. This could
be your job. I need to paint this double
eyelid one sec. There we go. Ew, I hate
how that worked. Ew, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh.
Why am I good at my job?
Erica, do you got like any glitter? Like
a Denessa Myricks, can I have something?
She actually has hooded eyes so I keep
We're more related than you think. Don't
mind me, I'm just adding more black
eyeshadow to, you know, embrace the
darkness [music] that is inside their
hearts. It needs to protrude out. It
needs to show. And from a technical
standpoint, I'm trying to make my eyes
go higher and my brows go lower so it
looks like she's mad all the time
because she [ __ ] is. Except at the
same time, she wants us to sit down and
mourn the loss of What's his name? Oh,
Charlie. Pronouns was/were. What am I
doing wrong? They're not murky enough.
Perfect. You can hate me, but you cannot
hate the skill. It takes a lot of
artistry to do this. Lashes, we're going
to draw them on. I can't be bothered.
I'm not going to give her any of those
Asian lash clusters. These are homegrown
conservative lashes she has on so
they're going to look chopped. I'm going
to put my lashes on now because as I'm
powdering, they'll get on the lashes and
like give that resemble of, you know,
post coke. Just one with me.
>> [laughter]
>> Like you didn't hear this from me, but
usually when they do the little There's
some residue. It gets everywhere. So,
we're going to give her a little half
lash, and I'm using my good lashes,
actually, cuz I don't own stupid lashes.
And I'm I'm pretty sure she does have a
fake lash on. Yeah, she definitely does.
That might be an Ardell wispies inspired
by Mickey Mouse.
>> Game finished.
>> So, I'm going to put a lot of lash glue
just on my lid because we got to lift
it. They tend to have double eyelids. I
only have a singular one. I can't
believe I let these people bully me back
in high school. Like white Republicans
had me convinced that monolids were like
the bane of my existence, and that I
would look so much prettier with double
eyelids. How's that working out? Come
on, Sydney Sweeney at That's kind of
there. Yeah, that That looks like
>> [laughter]
>> That looks like I should live in Utah.
Layton hasn't seen me in like 30
minutes, so this will They'll be a nice
surprise for him.
Cute.
I hate it. Hope you do, too. I'm going
to fix my hairline. We need to bronze a
bit. I do have a wig this time. Bronze.
Orange. More. So much more.
Yep. And then around here. We're going
to go right underneath. Oh my god, that
looks disgusting. I look horrible. Kind
of fierce. They also love this cool pink
blush, which is just so This tastes
full, honestly. It's like offensive to
the makeup community. Cuz how dare you
think you can use this color after doing
all the [ __ ] you've pulled. Also, just
remember, they are this delusional that
they think this is the pinnacle of
beauty. Like blonde hair, blue eyes,
patchy makeup. Kind of matches my hair.
It's like Neapolitan. Except I'm
neo-Nazi. They don't like too much
blush. That's the one thing they pull
back on, which I don't get. You could
use some more. And I'm going to set What
if I went out tonight like this? If I go
to the gay bars like this, some of them
would actually praise me, which is
scary. Gay men, some of y'all scare me,
even in LA. Oh, the sagging. Yeah. Got
to add in the smile lines. Not even the
smile lines, it's like This isn't from
age. She's not old. This is just from
years of war crimes. Yep.
Yep. Where else? She has like forehead
wrinkles, but in the
I've never seen a forehead wrinkle like
this. They go this way cuz she's so mad
all the time. How'd you manage that,
girl? It's like she's always doing this.
Which she kind of is. Let me actually
emphasize that more.
Oh, she has a line underneath. My
favorite part is doing the wrinkles.
There's no Botox or eye cream that could
save this. It's just She's too far gone.
And then we're going to cover that up
with more makeup now.
Perfect. She has like sad mouth as well.
Like this is sagging down. Just no life
to you, girl. Like hello? What is this?
My face matches, so that's wrong. This
needs to be more orange. Someone had the
nerve to say my foundation was three
shades darker in this video, my
transition update. I
At this point, I'm like, "What are y'all
smoking?" Cuz I am medicated. I don't
know what y'all are seeing. This is when
it doesn't match. Okay, so my lips uh
they look great. I need to somehow make
them thinner. This is so shady. They
need to like
No, that's too light. Notice how that's
my foundation shade. This is from
bronzer. So I have to match the bronzer
now. What shade is that? Truly the power
of makeup because the nerve for them to
call black people monkeys when they have
THE MONKEY LIPS.
>> [laughter]
>> THIS IS SO
UH
DETAILED IS WHAT I should say. The lips
aren't even. Mind you, it's lip liner,
so it chose to be uneven. So I matched
it. Oh, what's that? We're going to set
it and then I don't have this color. I
need to get like a hot pink lip liner.
Once again, I don't own this color cuz
it doesn't look good on me. And it
doesn't look good on them, either.
>> Stop.
>> No, no, come here. Come closer. Come
closer. Okay.
>> THAT'S HER.
>> [laughter]
>> ALL RIGHT. Hot pink, hot pink. Oh, yeah.
Actually I to contour around. This is
how to get the illusion that your lips
are smaller. You contour where your lip
usually ends. Is this what they meant by
reverse racism? This is reverse contour.
It looks too good. I'm I'm work in
progress. It's very hard for me to make
lips look bad. I don't do that anymore,
so it's a little too pink. She likes a
nude. Yeah, make it look more dead.
You know, like her head.
>> [laughter]
>> ColourPop, I'm so sorry. You didn't
deserve this. The funniest part, most of
these brands have seen the original
video because I tagged them. So, part
two. I think I just need the wig. What
else Oh, wait, powder highlighter. Got
to make these cheekbones. Right there.
Yep. Yep, direct center. And then,
I'm a little too tan now. Got to balance
it out. Back to the foundation. And for
those who don't live in America, yes,
people do in fact look like this and
that percentage is sadly increasing. And
in Gen Z, so stand up. I think I just
have to put on the wig and then the
outfit.
It's kind of No, I hate it. What am I
saying? There's no saving it.
I brought a human hair unit. This, I
don't have a wig cap, so I'm also not
keeping this on for long. I think if I
did for more than 10 minutes, I would
have jumped. This is somehow Hillary
Clinton Neapolitan ice cream and pink
hair and pronouns whilst being
conservative. 3:28 a.m.
>> [laughter]
>> You guys Y'all, I don't have a wig cap
and this is going to be on for no less
than 5 minutes anyways, but this is my
Sabrina Carpenter wig. So sorry,
Sabrina. One, I ruined you.
Do you see how it has the middle part
and like the heart bangs? How am I
supposed to curcify this? This does look
like someone. Her
side part is like here.
Don't know what's up with that.
Okay, well, you know what? It's not done
well. At this point, I feel like it
should My hair is falling out. No.
Hide it. Hide it.
Let me get into character.
Stop. Oh, I need a teardrop.
ISRAEL.
>> [laughter]
>> STOP IT.
>> [laughter]
>> ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING TO ask Layton to
come here. Layton, can you come sit down
next to me and close your eyes? Okay,
fine. You can be off camera. I don't
have a wig cap and I'm taking this off
right now cuz I'm so uncomfortable. How
did I do?
Stop. Hold on.
Should I Should I send a photo to my
mom? No. Why? What are you going Cuz I
mean, my mom is a white Christian. Okay,
yeah, go ahead. Send it to her. Send Ask
her if she if this reminds her of
anyone.
Okay.
See, the problem is the pink hair is
protruding. Huh? All right, Layton says
I did great, so that means I won. Let me
know which member of the girl group you
should do next.
>> Period.
>> Anyways, [snorts] if you enjoyed this
video, make sure to like, comment, and
subscribe and vote for Trump. Uh let me
know which member of the MAGA girl group
I should do next and let me know your
favorite song from them. Mine is We Are
Charlie Kirk. Anyways, I love you all.
Everything is less than three and I'm
going to I'm going to go take some
selfies.
This isn't Freddy anymore.
