Though the eyes of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa are said to follow everyone who dares look in her direction, it appears the fine art icon managed to let a few visitors slip from her gaze —specifically two soup-wielding protesters coming to soak her in what appears to be tomato bisque.

On Sunday, two protesters from the food sustainability group Riposte Alimentaire headed to the Louvre Museum in Paris, France to make a very wet statement, throwing thermoses of soup at the Mona Lisa.
"What's the most important thing? Art, or right to a healthy and sustainable food?" one Demonstrator yelled in French, per NBC News.
"Our farming system is sick. Our farmers are dying at work!” added another as a Museum employee rushed to shield the demonstration from view.
Though the near half-century-old painting was not damaged in the attack — the Mona Lisa has been displayed under a layer of armored glass, per NBC News — the two protesters were ultimately arrested for the stunt.
While we hope that agriculture becomes more sustainable, we also hope that the Louvre’s maintenance staff gets one hell of a raise after this.

On Thursday, software engineer @estefannie.gg headed to TikTok with her latest inventing challenge — building a device that could help her slash her makeup application time from ten minutes to just one second.

“It takes me 10 minutes to do my makeup, so I’m making a makeup machine by 99.83 percent, you know, for self care,” she began her now-viral video.
After grabbing a few pipes and other equipment from what appears to be a hardware store, @estefannie.gg got to work on assembly.
“I used the pump to fill the chamber with air,” she explained atop clips of her unconventional invention coming to life. “When I turn on this battery, the valve opens, releasing the air which pushes the makeup forward.”
Despite her best efforts, her first attempt failed, leaving her coated in a thin layer of powder.
“Do I look pretty?” she asked to the camera, her voiceover quickly and omnisciently answering that she “didn’t.”
Considering this initial fail, @estefannie.gg decided to take another approach to testing her gadget, positioning her face right in front of the barrel. Unfortunately, her results weren’t much different.
“So yes technically I did my makeup in one second,” she concluded. “It did actually kinda hurt.”
Moral of the story? Hire a glam squad … or get really good at the 5-minute makeup challenge.
