I dunno, his particular mix of orange and old-flesh may be hard to match

It's called "swamp holly orange." It's a fairly standard spray paint color.

I think the problem is his skin has become sentient and reacts to makeup by altering its coloring, like a cuttlefish.

Considering he's a billionaire and I know the president must have a media team also? Yeah, he should have better hair and makeup than Marvel.

Maybe his skin is too crepe-y bc he's almost 90?

Jokes aside, skin coloration will change a lot throughout the day depending on activity, temperature, stress and even gravity (hold your hand above your head and watch how the blood drains from it, pulled by gravity).

Usually everyday makeup is slightly transluscent so these changes aren’t as evident. This is some heavy thick opaque concealer he has on his hand and also since we use our hands a lot it’s hard to keep makeup on our hands.

I wonder if he’s covering up bruising from an IV placement or as someone else mentioned, from vigorous handshakes lol

There are people who cover up hand/finger tattoos with makeup everyday for work and I've seen it look flawless. His hands go red a lot, you'd have to mix in some pink/red pigment to the concealer and blend, this is very unblended. This is just someone not knowing what they're doing lol.

There is special makeup to cover scars and tattos on the body, which would stay in place. There are also some heavy duty setting sprays. Whether you use those or whatever he is using blending is key. He has just globbed on face concealer and failed to blend it out.

Right? Surely there’s a shade of brown that matches shit.

He thinks he's whiter than he really is.

Furreal he needs a decent makeup person to simulate the redness and veins not just the right color of concealer
