There does seem to be a warm orangey-biege-y cast to it. There are MUCH better concealers for covering tats or bruises tho. I wonder why no one bothered with the better brands?
Look at his face paint. One thing I am a pro at is psychology and it tracks that he can’t accept criticism- even in the form of offers of help with his makeup. He’s too vulnerable to acknowledge even his inconsequential flaws.
Plus the emperor’s new clothes thing with his disciples. They’re probably terrified to bring it up.
Fully agree. He absolutely used the same makeup to cover this bruise as he uses on his face. Guarantee he did it himself or forced someone else to do it this poorly because he can’t be bothered to listen to folks who know what they’re doing.
i saw somebody who found out what he uses. not sure how true it is, it was on tiktok. BUT they said he uses color corrector as his foundation. like the shit you use before your foundation to get rid of eye bags or whatever else.
Are you a pro? I'm sure if he has a pro cover them we wouldn't be able to see it. OTOH, I've tried to cover my own, in the same damn place, and it never works.
No, I’m not a pro at all. It looks to me like he’s covering it himself, or getting the same assistant who does his orange face paint to do his hand.
You can also see that he’s missed a spot that’s more purple on the edges. Looks like it’s similar to Queen Elizabeth’s port bruise with shitty makeup on top.
I wonder if that's the same makeup he puts on his face. It doesn't match the non-bruised colour of the skin on his hands. I think he did his face in the morning and then slapped some of the same stuff on the back of his hand and called it good.
He doesn't have a pro he does his own shitty tan every day because he's afraid of people touching him. Did you read how he bought years of stock of that tan and the small company that made it closed and he went insane over it?
It’s the wrong colour to cover a bruise. Looks like just regular concealer in a shade that doesn’t match. You want a coloured primer to counteract the bruise colour - so like yellow for purple, say, then concealer in skin tone to conceal the primer.
Any opaque primer would work, really. I know my paints but not a make-up artist. Are we trying to make it look natural or just color-match? Pretty much anything effective enough to greatly lighten dark spots will flatten the skin's light diffusion. Then you really need a talented artist, but outside of the film or model industry, will that ever matter? It's not even the face.
I bruise when the wind blows too hard so I've got some advice. (Mr Vice President Trump take notes)
You need a couple layers here. Primer helps but isn't necessary. Your colored layer is the star so take care with it. Look up a color wheel and compare to the colors of your bruise, then look at what's on the opposite side of the wheel. More red bruise = teal corrector, more purple bruise = yellow corrector, more green bruise = pink corrector. You can use eyeshadow if you don't have a dedicated color correction kit. Use pale colors and slowly build up the opacity, it will look crazy but that's ok. Then you use a high coverage concealer and dab (do not wipe!! You want the color to stay in place) it onto the area. It should look like normal skin at this point, if the color is off consult the wheel again and adjust. Blend the edges of the concealer out so that there's not a harsh line. Then dab on some powder to set it. Finish with a setting spray and you are good to go!
It takes some practice but I've gotten very good results with drug store products so you don't need to drop a ton of cash on high end makeup. What's on his hand is just some foundation or concealer, any competent make-up artist should do better than that
I never thought of using my color wheel to match the color. That's brilliant. I can't figure out the complimentary color without knowing what color it is. I have the color corrector palette already. Thank you so much. I can't wait to get another bruise lol
There's treatment for rasacea? Ive had it bad since the day i was born and none of my doctors ever mentioned treating it. It now effects the rashes and scars appearing on my face from Lupus.
Thanks for giving me a new rabbit hole and questions for my doctor.
I used to spend a long time on the rosacea subreddit. Good place to consult.
I’ve used a combination of pulsed-dye laser, yag laser, and broad band light therapy which have all had a tremendous impact at stalling rosacea’s progression. I also watch my diet and fast.

There is makeup on that. I have covered a lot of bruises in my day and I can tell.
