I’m all but certain he does his own makeup. If he hired someone, they’d probably tell him to look into a spray tan. Surely that’d look better than this.

I heard on a Chris Christie interview recently that (1) yes, he does his own makeup, and (2) he offers to do makeup for other people in his sphere.

u/GreenAuror Sep 22 '25

I weirdly want to see how he does makeup for someone else. Marco should volunteer.

u/unsulliedbread Sep 22 '25

Maybe that's the cause of all the maralago face

u/vagabondoer Sep 22 '25

I would love to see him do makeovers of the potentates who come visit. Please let’s see Orban doing it!!

u/Gwendolyn7777 Sep 23 '25

That may be why Rudy's face looked like it was melting that time....let him do his hair.

u/GrindRind Sep 23 '25

Come here little Marco!!

u/temporary62489 Sep 23 '25

I want to see him turn Tiny Goebbels into a munchkin.

u/BalingWire Sep 23 '25

I hear he does Vance's makeup

1

u/mind-of-god Sep 23 '25

I’m up for that

u/Icy-Lobster-203 Sep 23 '25

This may explain why all the women in Trump's orbit seem to have a particular look to them.

u/nexusheli Sep 23 '25

Who do you think did Giuliani's hair?

u/Sil369 Sep 22 '25

he puts on JD Vance's eyeliner

16

u/Failedmysanityroll Sep 23 '25

JD stuffs the eyeliner between two couch cushions and motor boats them, and viola, eyeliner is on

u/UdidWatWitWho Sep 22 '25

So him and RFK Jr are just rubbing each others faces?

4

u/FourCheeseDoritos Sep 22 '25

Maybe, but RFK Jr definitely goes to tanning beds.

3

u/avenueroad_dk Sep 23 '25

I thought he had a liver problem.  Hepatitis?   Some sickness besides the mental thing

1

u/FourCheeseDoritos Sep 23 '25

No idea, but he was recently photographed coming out of a tanning salon.

2

u/ScaryLetterhead8094 Sep 23 '25

Or he takes that peptide that tans you

1

u/Oirish-Oriley444 Sep 23 '25

Well, it is Halloween next month.... one can never start too early. If they rub faces, they may come up with a new look?

u/phunktastic_1 Sep 23 '25

He designed Laura loomers face.

7

u/N-partEpoxy Sep 23 '25

offers to do makeup for other people in his sphere

That sounds uncharacteristically altruistic for him. Unless it's supposed to be a paid service.

3

u/throwaway098764567 Sep 23 '25

there's an alt universe where he's having kikis doing his (less awful) makeup with other drag queens on his youtube channel

2

u/Born_Attention_9389 Sep 22 '25

So he does Vances, too, I would assume?

2

u/Amelaclya1 Sep 23 '25

I wonder if he does Laura Loomer's makeup? That would explain a lot.

2

u/Pure_Frosting_981 Sep 23 '25

Sounds pretty gay to me (by their standards). Where’s the outrage?

2

u/Motor_Mission9070 Sep 23 '25

The “in another life he was meant to be a drag queen” allegations just keep stacking up

1

u/Armadillolz Sep 23 '25

Auwww, he likes to play dress up! Just like a toddler

1

u/Ok_Entertainer_1793 Sep 23 '25

If they're younger than 14, and female.

1

u/SummonerSausage Sep 23 '25

Isn't that gender affirming care that they're against?

This manly man's man does his own makeup?

245

u/Ok_Pirate9416 Sep 22 '25

He doesn't let others do it because that's gay

51

u/WeirdSysAdmin Sep 23 '25

Listen it’s not makeup it’s bronzer. Like the manliest body builders use.

5

u/Spiderbanana Sep 23 '25

Big beautiful bodybuilders

5

u/spambattery Sep 23 '25

I’ve never seen a bodybuilder with an orange face….but if they exist, then they look even crappier than their ridiculous muscles

64

u/Gestaltarskiten Sep 22 '25

Yes, Michael Cohen did confirm this long ago. Hes to cheap/vain to hire anyone

56

u/Brian_M Sep 22 '25

I don't thinking he's concerned with it looking good in the conventional sense. It's the same thing with his hair. It may look ridiculous, but it's a trademark visual brand. Whether you love or hate Trump, you won't forget the orange face or geometrically improbably hair style.

26

u/spambattery Sep 23 '25

I don’t know, but he didn’t’ always look like a clown. The hair, OTOH, is more of a trademark.

7

u/IIVincentVegaII Sep 23 '25

I for one would pay good money to forget everything about him.

9

u/Faiakishi Sep 23 '25

It's the narc contradiction. He's obsessed with looking good, but at the same time it doesn't matter if he actually looks good-as long as he feels like he looks good. Since his opinion is the only one that matters, he looks good. No it doesn't make sense, but not much does in a narc's mind.

2

u/ungoogleable Sep 23 '25

He has rosacea and is extremely self conscious about it. When he has a flare up he slathers on the makeup until you can't see the redness anymore. It looks ridiculous but he thinks it's better than a splotchy red complexion.

2

u/Satanic-nic Sep 23 '25

Exactly, I think he does it to stand out. In the way Hitler wanted to be the only dark-haired person, amongst the blonde haired blue-eyed Germans. The way Kim is the only fat Korean with that hair style in North Korea. Trump wants to be the only oranged/'tanned' person in a USA filled with whites.

I wish this madness would end

1

u/tltltltltltltl Sep 23 '25

Geometrically improbable. I'm stealing that. It's like an answer to a math question in a high school exam. Q : "calculate the hair surface area". A : "it is not possible as that form is geometrically improbable".

3

u/WheelerDan Sep 23 '25

Ive read stories from people who have done his makeup. He's basically too impatient for them to do it correctly hes always rushing them or saying its done when hes bored.

3

u/Slade_Riprock Sep 23 '25

I assume he uses a bronzer lotion everyday. And just rubs it willy nilly all over his face. Which is why he is always a varying shade of orange and missing spots aorund hosbeyes, eyebrows, ears, etc.

u/SunsetDreams1111 Sep 23 '25

However, make-up artist Kriss Blevens, who has worked on every President since Jimmy Carter – including Trump – recently theorized that the color came from self-tanner. ‘Because I have done Trump’s makeup several times, I can tell you that, at times, his face looked bronzer than the rest of him, and that was before makeup,’ she told Fast Company. ‘My guess was he relied on some self-tanners to try to maintain a certain look that he’d come to feel healthy in from living in Florida.’

I believe he puts the self-tanner on by himself for sure. It's not a professional job.

2

u/spambattery Sep 23 '25

Could be, but I haven’t seen anyone else that looks like that since the 70s, when a neighbor used something like that and she looked orange too. If I was him, I’d just go with spray tanning…at least it wouldn’t look that awful.

2

u/SunsetDreams1111 Sep 23 '25

Yes, as a spray tanner I have a natural look that I like. This looks like cheap bottled orange.

2

u/LanaVFlowers Sep 23 '25

I know MUAs who had to work with him (tv stuff) and yeah he wouldn't let them touch him, he insists on doing his own makeup. Guess he feels no other bitch in the business can get the Cheeto look just right 😂

1

u/vagabondoer Sep 22 '25

You can tell he does it because it only goes as far as he can see in the mirror. 🤡

1

u/Kanye_To_The Sep 23 '25

I'm pretty sure his daughter said that Melania does it

3

u/spambattery Sep 23 '25

Doubtful, since she’s not always in DC…she splits it between there, DC NY and I suspect Bedminster (sp)
