Donald Trump's orange skin tone is primarily due to his use of makeup and self-tanning products. He has been reported to apply his own makeup, including a translucent makeup powder and bronzers, which give his face an orange hue. This "orange" appearance has been a consistent part of his public image for many years, dating back to at least 2012. Experts suggest that he likely uses tanning beds or spray tans, combined with makeup that may not always be applied perfectly or chosen in the correct shade for his natural skin color. The orange tone has also been attributed to attempts to mask sun damage on his skin. Trump has expressed frustration about how his skin appears orange or yellow on camera, and he has directed changes in White House lighting to reduce the orange effect. Some makeup artists note that his natural skin tone looks better without the orange makeup, but the style has become culturally associated with him.
