Does Donald Trump wear makeup?

A past administration official informed The New York Times that the orange hue of Trump's skin is attributed to "good genes," and not to the use of bronzer, concealer, or foundation.

Nevertheless, there have been assertions from individuals who worked closely with Trump in the White House suggesting he did use cosmetic products.

In her memoir 'Enough,' ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson recounts advising ex-president Trump not to wear a mask during his visit to a PPE factory at the onset of the pandemic.

Trump was curious about the reason, so Hutchinson gestured towards her mask straps. "When he looked at the straps of his mask, he saw that they were covered in bronzer," Hutchinson notes, mentioning that Trump was irritated because he had not been informed earlier that makeup could transfer onto masks.

A strong indication that Trump uses makeup could be the confirmation from individuals who have worked with him, according to The List.

The Washington Post reported that Trump's staff had to ensure there were always 2.5 bottles of his favored Bronx Colors makeup available, which was known to stain his shirts.
