      It is depressingly effective if you’ve got that pallid veiny translucent thing old white people get.

          Any one who goes on under television studio lights will be wearing pancake makeup.

          Otherwise you look incredibly pale and freakish. Trump being orange has more to do with horrible make up (and possibly interactions with bronzer)

          Yes. This includes your favorite beefcake action hero.

            Trump wears an excessive amount of bronzer. Not always, but when he plans to make public appearances he does for sure. There are a few photos out there, usually of him at his golf resorts where he thinks he’s safe from the paparazzi and they snap some candid shots of his pale, pallid looking skin, unkempt hair, and even eczema sores. Dude is super vain about it, but honestly, the mock-ups of him without all the work required to keep his signature look - the hair plugs, the bronzer, the TV makeup, etc. actually make him look more like his age and a bit more relatable from a… I dunno, human perspective?

          Haha. It was from an interview. Also I don’t say it to spread lies… I liked the guy. I’m not a Trump sucker.

            Mmm I dunno, that looks like regular “tv interview” makeup. There’s three problems with it:

            • it matches the color of his hands
            • there’s no ridiculous “raccoon eyes” or clown-face border
            • he’s not in public screaming about immigrants poisoning the blood of the nation

            Although admittedly that last one may be subjective
