With all his billions, why doesn't Trump have better makeup?

Why does Donald Trump wear garish orange makeup that looks like it was applied by a half-blind third-grader?

He clearly cares about his appearance to some degree, or why else would he be wearing makeup in the first place?

So why doesn't he pay professionals to choose better-looking makeup products and to make sure they are applied properly?

And I know this is so unimportant but it's that white rim around his eyes, contrasted with orange face and yellow hair, not to mention his tiny hands that does make me think he could be an alien lizard hologram.

he actually thinks he does it better himself? Once I figured out that that thing on his head is actually an epically bad comb over - I wondered why a guy with his money has such a lousy haircut.

He puts his carrot-colored makeup on, and his flunkies will tell him "You look great, sir!" "Best look yet, sir!"

You have to think on the level of a narcissistic, megalomaniac. Why would HE change perfection...it is everyone around him that must change. Kinda explains his instant love-hate for a person depending on what they say about him.

My daughter used to watch makeup tutorials, so this is funny because it sounds just like one of those--but also, the look at the end is hilariously close to the real thing.
