What The Trump Women Look Like Without Makeup
With former U.S. President Donald Trump running again this election, some of the focus has returned to all the women he is close to. Donald has been married three times (his latest marriage is surprisingly still lasting despite the red flags), and has five children and 10 grandchildren. This all leads to the fact that there are quite a few women in his life, and today, we are solely focusing on their makeup — or rather, lack of it.
Do the women in the Trump family tree ever show their bare faces? As we all know, makeup is a great tool for self-expression, but having the confidence to rock none is something hopefully everyone manages to experience. After all, if there's one thing we learned from Hollywood star Pamela Anderson's affection for going makeup-free, it's that it's never too late to embrace your natural beauty. So, without further ado, let's see just which of the women in Donald Trump's life have had the confidence to show the world their face makeup-free!
Melania Trump never really lets herself be seen without some makeup on
Melania Trump, the former first lady of the United States, is rarely seen without makeup. In fact, this happens so rarely that the only image we managed to source includes her with a bit of makeup. In 2002, during New York Fashion Week, Melania and Donald Trump were making the rounds at various events, and for the Rosa Cha Runway Show (which the two were spotted at with Donald's ex-wife Ivana Trump), Melania opted to go for a minimal makeup look — for her, this might even pass as a "no-makeup" makeup look. Compared to Ivana's dramatic makeup, at least, Melania's was certainly a lot more toned down.
Today, the former fashion model is usually only seen with a full face of makeup — which, for her, means dark eyeshadow and rosy lips. Melania's makeup artist Nicole Bryl revealed to HOLA! in 2019 that the former first lady loves a good base. In Bryl's words, Melania prefers "to look flawlessly fresh with emphasis on perfect skin." So compared to the look she's sporting nowadays, her 2002 makeup could almost pass as a bare face. But again, only almost.
Ivanka Trump's skin looks flawless even without makeup
Donald Trump's eldest daughter and second child, Ivanka Trump, is no stranger to the spotlight — sometimes even thanks to her inappropriate outfits. Apart from being a senior advisor to his administration, Ivanka also pursued modeling when she was younger. Knowing this certainly doesn't make it surprising that Ivanka looks stunning with no makeup.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ivanka — whose mother is the late Ivana Trump — posted a video on her Instagram in which she was encouraging social distancing. In it, she was showing off her makeup-free face and her skin looked absolutely flawless. According to her makeup artist Alexa Rodulfo, the reason behind Ivanka's dewy skin is more than just skincare. "Ivanka is someone who eats nutritious foods, exercises regularly, doesn't smoke and protects her skin," she told HOLA! in 2019. "That's a really important factor when it comes to her skin looking perfect." Even though we mostly get to see Ivanka with makeup on, it's certainly refreshing to see just how confident she is without it, too!
When sunglasses hid Ivana Trump's fresh face
Donald Trump's ex-wife, Ivana Trump, was a known lover of makeup, and we're not sure we ever really saw her without at least a little. However, in August 2009, she was vacationing in Saint-Tropez, France, with her at-the-time partner. While we have no doubt that she was still wearing a bit of makeup — her lips are way too pink for this to be her natural look — it seems as if Ivana decided to rest her face and eyes and simply put on a pair of sunglasses to hide a bit more.
Anyone who knows anything about Ivana knows that she was all about always trying to look her best. In a column she wrote for The Guardian in 2013, she even admitted that looks were of huge importance to her. "I have made no secret about the procedures I have had done to my face," Ivana wrote. "I'll fight ageing as long as I can."
Kai Madison Trump is only beginning to explore makeup
Kai Madison Trump is Donald Trump's eldest grandchild. Just 17 years old at the time of writing, she is only just venturing into makeup, so we've seen her without makeup plenty of times — especially on her Instagram profile, where she often shares updates from her golf career. Still a teen, Kai's skin is always youthful and dewy, and her go-to makeup seems to consist of a bit of mascara and tinted lip balm.
Kai spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention, praising her grandfather Donald. "I'm speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don't often see," she said (via CNN). "To me, he's just a normal grandpa." For the event, Kai opted to go a bit heavier with makeup than what we were used to seeing from her, showcasing to everyone that she is quickly growing up.
Tiffany Trump loves makeup — but looks stunning without it
Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump's second daughter with ex-wife Marla Maples, seems to be a big fan of heavy makeup, especially fake eyelashes, which she rocks regularly. Anyone who knows anything about makeup will tell you that heavy and thick false eyelashes usually go hand in hand with a full-coverage base, lots of contouring, and quite a few touch-ups throughout the day.
Because Tiffany seems to be an avid makeup lover, it's surprising that she also let everyone online see her face with almost no makeup on. In a black-and-white video by photographer Scott Michael Nathan, Tiffany can be seen with no makeup except for some subtle mascara. Just like Donald's elder daughter Ivanka, Tiffany also has gorgeous and dewy skin, and we'd love to see her rock a makeup-free face more often.
Unlike her daughter, Marla Maples prefers very subtle makeup — if any at all
Tiffany Trump's mother and Donald Trump's second wife, Marla Maples, is the polar opposite of her daughter — at least when it comes to makeup. While Tiffany's makeup motto seems to be "more is better," Marla seems to live by the concept of less is more. On social media, the actor and television personality is no stranger to showing a bare face, especially if she's creating content while in nature.
The self-proclaimed wellness advocate who is all about "mental, spiritual and physical wellness," as per her website Marla Maples, is all about subtle makeup when she does decide to rock some. Bronzy eyeshadow, a bit of mascara, some blush, and tinted lips seem to be her go-to for days when she wants to add something extra to her look.
Kimberly Guilfoyle's makeup-free photo is from the hospital
Kimberly Guilfoyle, the television news personality, former prosecutor, and fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., is rarely seen without makeup, especially as her job in front of the cameras requires plenty of it. In fact, a quick scroll through her Instagram reveals that Kimberly likes her makeup rather heavy and noticeable — in particular, she's a big fan of the classic smokey eye.
However, Kimberly — who has already been married twice and has a son — has also shared an image of herself makeup-free. For Mother's Day 2024, she posted a carousel of pictures, one of which was a photo of her holding her newborn son after giving birth to him in 2006. In the photo, she was certainly still exuding that new-mom glow, as her skin looked absolutely flawless.
Lara Trump rocks a bare face while working out
Former television producer Lara Trump is the wife of Donald Trump's third child, Eric Trump. Lara — who is also the co-chair of the Republican National Committee — does often rock stunning makeup looks, but she is also no stranger to showing off her makeup-free face.
Lara is in exceptional shape, and working on her fitness is certainly one of her priorities. "Fitness has always been an important part of my life, be it competing in triathlons and marathons or using it to cope with stress," she revealed to The Trump Organization. When she is exercising, Lara wears no or minimal makeup. In late 2023, Lara shared a workout selfie on Instagram, and in it, it's clear that she looks great, even without all the eyeshadow and foundation.
