At a recent concert in Paris, she sported makeup that immediately sparked reactions. Her look divided opinions, ranging from admiration to perplexity: while many saw it as &quot;artistic daring,&quot; others exclaimed, <em>&quot;She looks like a clown!&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2> Makeup that defies the rules<\/h2>\n<p> Doja Cat has taken a completely different approach from the polished aesthetic of pop stars. At the heart of her look is a deliberately bold red lip. This was complemented by XXL eyelashes, sharp eyeliner, ultra-thin eyebrows, and a saturated pink blush applied in broad, circular strokes on her cheekbones.<\/p>\n<p>Doja Cat fully embraces this aesthetic. In a recent interview with ELLE UK, she confessed her penchant for cartoonish lips and bold lipstick. She cited Amanda Lepore, an iconic transgender figure in New York nightlife and a muse of performance art, as one of her inspirations. Her Parisian makeup thus appears as an homage to the icons who have made metamorphosis and excess a distinct artistic language.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"> Doja Cat tonight in Paris. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/TourMaVie?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TourMaVie<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tWEBYP17Cx\">pic.twitter.com\/tWEBYP17Cx<\/a><\/p>\n<p> \u2014 DojaMyLife (@DojaMyLife) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DojaMyLife\/status\/2064438879747182953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Mixed reactions<\/h2>\n<p> Opinions were divided on social media. On one side, fans praised &quot;a bold and creative approach.&quot; On the other, some internet users, disconcerted by the &quot;smeared&quot; lipstick, judged the result &quot;too excessive&quot; and saw it primarily as &quot;clown makeup.&quot; It&#39;s worth remembering that <strong>we don&#39;t judge a woman&#39;s body or appearance<\/strong> \u2014or anyone&#39;s\u2014and that being a public figure doesn&#39;t open the door to judging someone&#39;s looks: everyone is free to dress and wear makeup as they wish.<\/p>\n<p>With this makeup look, Doja Cat confirms her status as an elusive artist who prefers to question conventions rather than follow them. One thing is certain: her Parisian look has, once again, generated a lot of buzz. Proof that, for Doja Cat, the face is first and foremost a playground and a means of expression.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American rapper Doja Cat has never liked to follow the crowd, and she proved it again.
