The tweet caught a lot of people's attention, with some quickly jumping to defend the woman in the photograph. "Women wear makeup for themselves, not bc they feel the need to appeal to boys," someone tweeted in reply.
The individual pictured, Elizabeth Israel, ended up spotting the photo after her friends began tagging her in it. The 18-year-old tweeted her own response.
Lohmann responded by assuring Israel he was not shaming her and only intended to "make a point" about how dramatically makeup can alter a person's appearance.
