Lewis is facing headwinds for defending Nogueira amid 'MascaraGate'.
  • 'MascaraGate' has consumed TikTok, with a beauty guru being accused of false advertising.
  • But several TikTok creators, including Mads Lewis, seemed to defend the practice, saying "everyone does it."
  • "If somebody put $200,000 in your face and said, 'Hey, promote my shitty mascara,' I don't think you'd think twice about it," she said in a now-deleted video.

As "lashgate" has consumed TikTok, with speculation reaching a fervor as to whether the beauty guru Mikayla Nogueira used false eyelashes to push L'Oréal's mascara, some creators are incurring more flak for coming to her defense.
