It’s like someone wiped their ass with his face, the morning after chili night

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Like he got some on his cheek and thought the biggly idea was to blend it

I’m a woman who was wearing a bad shade of foundation that a female makeup artist (and friend) had recommended to me.

One day, wearing it, I went to Sephora. A male salesperson looked at me, covered his mouth with both hands in horror, and said, “Oh honey…your face is a different color from your neck. Here…” and he proceeded to help me and I am forever thankful to this day.

Trump needs that guy in his life right now to tell him like it is.

lol I had never seen this…thanks for introducing me!

You must be more optimistic than me about the chances that he'll ever accept anything like constructive criticism.

News analysis has guessed the source of Trump’s orange face for some time—and even the experts I talked to for this piece offered theories: Was it bronzer? Tanning pills? Makeup atop an actual tan? A means to cover rosacea? How much is coming from the makeup artist, and how much is coming from Trump himself?

Kriss Blevens, a makeup artist who has made up every president since Jimmy Carter, offers some clarity.

“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 says. “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.” She believes Trump’s context of living in the state has trained his eye, and even seeing himself in the mirror with so much color had skewed his own objectivity.

“I wanted to neutralize the bronze look, then touch up around the eye area just so it was even in tone,” she says. She asked for Trump’s hands to apply bronzer, and when Trump asked why, she said it was because he talked with his hands and they weren’t as dark as his face.

Then, with the makeup near done, he asked for more pigment on his face.

“He will look and go, ‘Do I need more color?’ And I say, ‘No, you don’t, trust me,’” says Blevens. “I had a word with him, and I’m very diplomatic about it. Owning my power as an artist in the face of power, like a person in power like that—it takes a whole career to even be able to do that.

I can't find it now, but I've read a news story about the particular makeup he uses being discontinued and he had people buy up as much as he could find. The closest article I can find now says it's Bronx Colors concealer. https://www.jezebel.com/we-now-know-the-makeup-brand-donald-trump-uses-to-get-h-1840262886

[–] GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 53 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For as much as he hates brown people you wouldn't think he'd be that into bronzer.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

His shade suggests he's more into using an oxidizer.

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

To me the wildest thing about trump's appearance is that he can obviously afford to hire a world class stylist and listen to their suggestions and they could nip, tuck, exfoliate, micro needle, microblade and whatever the fuck else they're doing these days to people until he's an immaculately polished if somewhat uncannily stepfordesque Hollywood perfect geri-ken doll. Instead he does shit like this.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Looks like he rubbed iodine on his face without looking in the mirror last minute before he ran out the door.

Stylists are typically women or gay men.

Considering what kind of person he is, neither would want to be anywhere near him.

He better be careful, If he adds a little more bronze his supports will start going after him.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I seriously thought he was in blackface for a second when I saw the thumbnails on my phone.

[–] UsefulInfoPlz@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

He dipped his face in Putin’s ass

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand how he thinks that he looks better like that. He could just not wear a hat when he golfs and he would have a real tan in short order.

[–] shinratdr@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

He doesn’t look as old. Better is subjective, but he looks much more like the very old man he is without it and without the combover.

That’s the only reason.

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

I'm 100% sure he has that applied each morning by a Secret Service Agent weilding Homer's makeup shotgun from The Simpsons.

[–] Bonsoir@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

It's like somebody photoshopped Trump's face on Trump's body under different lighting/camera settings.

[–] ApeNo1@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

Looks like he got shit faced before the photo.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Every fucking pro facho or populust needs to look "quirky" so you remember them, not what they say or do.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

I was going to come in here and say, "sorry for disgusting you all, but it looks like-" and then some of you came up with something even worse.

Lemmy never lets me down!

[–] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Does he just buy povidone-iodine antiseptic and smear it on his face every morning? When I used to work with that stuff every day I'd get it on me and it would be this color. I bet that's what he's using, probably Alex Jones branded, too.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Even makeup is afraid to tell the old man no

Jesus Christ!

I'll never be able to unsee that.

Wow. Well I'm one of today's "lucky" 10k :/

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ooh this one stumped me. Who's the fella on the right?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sen. John Cornyn, who posted this pic

He's the dad of the kid going as an oompaloompa for Halloween on the left.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Going as the Tupperware I used to microwave spaghetti

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You might as well throw it away and burn down your house. You're never getting that stain out

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wait, are we still talking about the stained Tupperware? Or the stained former president?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When @thefartographer@lemm.ee wins the wholesomeness award for the thread...

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I sense a disturbance in the force

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

It's like a faceswap with a third, unpictured person.

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

What tf is up with his face?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Was he holding a glass of orange juice that exploded?

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

he has changed his hairstyle a bit

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

like he has a middle parting at the front and a comb over at the same time

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Personally I'm all for gender affirming care - whatever form that takes - but the man is living proof that you can't buy taste or honest opinions

Edit: can't ffs
