Public figures often have carefully managed appearances.
Politicians, celebrities, and business leaders rely on professional stylists and makeup artists to maintain a polished image.
Over the years, Donald Trump’s distinct tan and hairstyle have been the subject of speculation and discussion.
Now, a makeup artist who once worked with him has revealed new details about his signature look.
Extremely Pale
Audrey Lefevre, a French makeup artist, shared her experience in an interview with Bild.
She worked with the Trump family for three days in 2017, after passing a security check by the Secret Service.
Initially, she did not realize her connection to the Trumps until she learned that Ivanka Trump had been involved with her company, according to WP.
"I found out that Ivanka had been working with my company for some time and that many of the makeup tests I had done before were for the Trumps. And that I had been classified as stress-resistant," she said.
Lefevre explained that Trump’s orange-toned complexion is not the work of professional makeup artists but the result of using self-tanner.
She described his natural skin as extremely pale, stating that self-tanner is used to cover redness and lighten certain areas.
"It is important for me to say, also on behalf of all my colleagues, that no professional makeup artist is responsible for his orange complexion. It’s self-tanner," Lefevre stated.
In addition to discussing his skin tone, she also addressed Trump’s hair. She confirmed that his hairstyle is natural and not artificially enhanced. "Every hair on Trump’s head is his own," she assured.
After the inauguration, Lefevre continued working with Ivanka Trump for some time but eventually ended the collaboration.
She did not disclose whether she would be involved in another inauguration when Trump returns to office.
