The make-up.
But then, I didn't get the other two jokes either. Beyond my experience. I don't keep up much with pop media of any kind these days.
"I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. She burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies."
"Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline." --old ad slogan
"We are graced with Sarah’s presence tonight. I have to say I’m a little star-struck. I love you as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale. Mike Pence, if you haven’t seen it, you would love it."
Handmaid's Tale is a Margaret Atwood novel written in the 80s about a future dystopia in which human fertility rates have severely declined and the US government has been overthrown by a fundamentalist Christian dictatorship. The few fertile young women are trained by the "aunts" to be "handmaids" to couples in the elite class. There is currently a TV series based upon it.
