“I take vitamins and use a moisturizer that’s an oxygen cream. Everything is natural. It’s A, C, and E, and I mix them together. It’s so important to care for your skin — inside and out from morning to night (especially in the night!). You need to take makeup off and moisturize!” she explained.
Melania Trump goes against makeup advice
So, how should one use makeup to get the same look as Melania Trump? In an interview with Hello! Magazine, celebrity makeup artist Philippa Louise shared her advice on how and what to use.
The magazine writes that Melania uses slightly heavier makeup, which “women are often advised against” at her age. Philippa Louise, who has worked with the likes of Harry Potter star Emma Watson, explained that there are makeup rules one should follow as one turns 50.
“When you reach your 50s, makeup should be paired back and the rules in makeup application should not be broken if you want to look effortlessly chic. Makeup should empower, not overpower you,” Louise told Hello! Magazine.
“There’s nothing worse than looking at a complexion and seeing makeup caked on, which then emphasises the wrong areas and thus ages you. For anyone over 50 such as Melania, you can get away with a slightly heavier look for a big event, as long as it is applied in the correct way and the right products are used. Melania’s style is elegant, chic and sophisticated, and I think her makeup compliments this beautifully as her makeup artist clearly uses the correct products suited to her own skin.”
Melania Trump “religiously follows” this beauty routine, expert claims
Louise further explained that “less is more” regarding makeup after a certain age.
“As we age, our skin becomes dehydrated, dull, texturized and loses elasticity, we therefore don’t want to be putting makeup on that is drying and flat. You can still look done up and glamorous as we see on Melania, so long as you aren’t wearing 100 layers of makeup and the blend is seamless,” the makeup artist continued.
“What we want to do is complement the skin using the correct formulations for your own personal complexion needs. Glow glow, glow and hydration are essential! The key to doing this in the first instance is using the right skincare to drip-feed your skin. This is not an overnight process; it’s an ongoing one which I am sure Melania religiously follows. If you invest in good skincare tailored for your own complexion your makeup will quite simply enhance it – it really is as simple as that.”
Although makeup can help one look younger, an individual should put in hard work to keep up a healthy lifestyle and take care of themselves. Amish Patel, an Aesthetics Practitioner and Skincare Expert at Intrigue Cosmetic Clinic, explained to the Daily Mail that it’s clear that Melania Trump is taking care of herself, which contributes to her looks, too.
“Melania also clearly looks after herself, which is a significant factor in the ageing process. A healthy diet full of vitamins and antioxidants, drinking plenty of water, avoiding too much sugar or alcohol, and getting enough sleep play a role,” Patel said.
How Melania Trump is using hair color to stay young
“Melania is also said to enjoy pilates and tennis, which, as a combination of exercise, help destress and boost the blood flow to the skin – another tick in the anti-ageing beauty book.”
Another thing that has helped Melania maintain a youthful look is her hairstyle, which has changed many times over the years. One contributing factor to her timeless look is her carefully-chosen hair color.
“As the years have passed, whilst her hairstyle might not have radically changed, she has gone lighter with more honey and golden hues, which are flattering on maturing skin,” Patel added. “As we age, our skin tone changes, so very dark hair can be harsher on the complexion. The classic haircut is timeless and soft on the face.”
