Trump’s Bruise Cover-Up Raises Questions About Makeup Skills

A Canadian makeup artist, Brandi Boulet, says that whoever is applying makeup to Donald Trump’s bruised hand appears to be doing a poor job of covering it up. Boulet, who helped create the actor Sebastian Stan’s look for a film, believes that with some basic makeup skills and techniques, the bruise could easily be covered up. She suggests using a yellowy orange color to minimize the purple hue, adding layers of flesh tones, and blending the edges. This incident highlights the scrutiny of Trump’s skin care and health issues in politics.
