Melania Trump photos with no makeup. There was a headline that she was spotted without any makeup on. It sounds like she's got no clothes on, doesn't it? They refer to Trump that way too - he's the emperor with no clothes these days.
Here's a screen-clip from an article on "What Melania Trump looks like nearly makeup-free" - it is HERE at glam.com. Compare that to now with her eyes covered in so much black stuff that they are slits in a sea of smoke.
I expect male celebrities all wear makeup, too. And with the significant difference between makeup and no makeup, you wonder if more men now wear makeup compared to 20 years ago. Current estimates are 15% of (heterosexual) men between 18 and 34 wear makeup in the US. I noticed how heterosexual included in there just to let you know.
Here's a picture to show you the before and after. There are many stories of men proclaiming that they are now wearing makeup.
Just like boy babies used to wear pink, it was the case that men wore makeup in earlier times. The decline in the 19th century was due to that influential Queen Victoria who associated makeup with lower social status - vulgarity and immorality and femininity. She's not been around for a long time, so now there is a growing interest in makeup - social media, male beauty influencers and more fluidity in gender roles - seem to be the influences.
Is this possibly also an influence - Donald Trump wearing makeup? Or is the question how does he get so orange? With all those photos beside Melanie with the smoked out eyes, orange skin fits in.
Here's one answer on his makeup:
"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," and 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." - professional makeup artist Safia Cox
That word - mattified - means reduce shininess of skin.
Here's a pretty flower picture - flowers all ready to make pposies.
This was at the Mingle Hill Flower Farm Festival yesterday and I went with Millie. There was a nice couple selling expensive homemade dog treats, so Millie got a bag. She wanted to stay with the couple rather than come home.
