Karoline Leavitt captioned the post on Instagram, "MY TV MAKEUP ROUTINE. I receive a lot of questions about how I do my makeup when I go on TV… so I figured I’d show it! Here’s the look I did for a hit on Fox Business… in my New York City hotel room at literally 4AM."

"I can’t take all of the credit because when I arrive at the networks, the amazing hair & makeup teams provide touch ups. However most of the time, I do interviews from my home studio and I’m my own glam team!" she added.

She also used various Too Faced beauty items, including primer, dual foundations, eyeshadow palette, brow pomade, and mascara for an interview.

Leavitt made history in January 2025 as she became the youngest White House Press Secretary at the age of 27.

She has already been hailed by her fans as well as Trump’s supporters for being straightforward and savagely handling media questions.

Leavitt was also praised for her natural beauty recently after her earlier photographs, without make-up, went viral across the internet.

Her Instagram posts from 2015 to 2017 show her without makeup and she seems to look gorgeous even without any product applied on her face.
