Make-up artist reveals why Donald Trump is 'much more orange' now and settles debate

An expert revealed why Trump is upping his orange glow

As Americans are waiting to find out who will become their next President until 2028, there’s one question that people just can’t stop asking: Is Donald Trump getting more orange?

Well, the answer is yes, yes, he is.

As he’s been rallying for his campaign in his bid to win over Kamala Harris, it appears that he’s also been rallying the bronzer collection as his face is noticeably more bronze than it ever has been before.

Now, you’ll have heard about all of the memes about Trump when he first became President in 2017.

But while they may have found his complexion a little too orange-esque then, they certainly think it’s mega clementine now.

Despite the fact that he’s been trying to rake in the votes as fast as he can, his orange hue has been taking the spotlight instead.

The former president has become brighter and brighter as the weeks have passed and it’s all anyone can talk about it.

But why is he so orange now?

From sunbeds to fake tan, everyone seems to be having their own say.

In 2018, former aide Omarosa Manigault claimed in her book Unhinged, that Trump fired a staff member for not properly setting up a tanning bed at the White House.

Former FBI director James Comey also shared in his own memoir, A Higher Loyalty ,that Trump’s ‘face appeared slightly orange, with bright white half-moons under his eyes where I assumed he placed small tanning goggles’.

However, celebrity makeup artist Safia Cox has had the last say on what she thinks is really going on here.

Safia told The Mirror: "I think he uses some sort of fake tan or tinted moisturiser with a bronzer. I 100% do not think it's sun beds as it would be a completely different tone.

"I think it's some sort of fake tan or some sort of tinted moisturizer with bronzer, and he's then used powder with it. It's definitely some sort of cream product that he uses and has probably mattified it after because it's so orange.”

She added: "You can see the rim around his face. If you look closely at his hairline, it's very pale, and that's not from sunbeds; he's slapping some sort of cream product on."

While it’s clear that Trump has been using more and more of whatever has been causing his skin tone, Safia thinks he could be insecure.

She explained: "I think his makeup has changed over the years, and I think it as he's got older and potentially a little more insecure. The ever changing orange hue has become the subject of many internet discussions and memes - with people wondering why he likes to be so orange.”

The expert shared that Trump has a lot of pictures taken of him, ‘so he must think it's a good look’.

She even revealed that some people have disclosed that ‘when he's stressed, he uses more tan’.

She said: “If you look at photos of him towards the end of campaigns, he's much more orange.”

Like the popular ‘eyebrow-blindness’ trend on TikTok, he seems to have a tan blindness.

Safia shared: "He has orange blindness or fake tan blindness, and I don't think he realises.

"It's not a nice bronze, he doesn't look like he's just hopped off a plane he just looks like he's layered on fake tan. It's bizarre; he's either really insecure, and it's for confidence and thinking he looks good, or he's being clever and doing it to get people to talk about him."
