He dipped his face in Putin’s ass

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.

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!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 hours ago

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

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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 80 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Stylists are typically women or gay men.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 minutes ago

For the rates they could charge I'm sure they would stomach it.

But Dump is principally paranoid so the idea of presenting his soft tissues and sensory organs to someone who might not sicophantically worship him is probably too brave.

It is? Thank you !

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

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

Al Jolson and John Cornyn

[–] [email protected] 27 points 14 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 14 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

Was he holding a glass of orange juice that exploded?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

What tf is up with his face?

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

Even makeup is afraid to tell the old man no

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

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