If you've ever looked at Donald Trump's orange-colored skin and pale, chapped lips and thought, "Wow, I wish I could look like that!" then Tess Paras has created the perfect makeup tutorial for you.
The "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" actress has uploaded hysterical and clever video that resembles the style and tone of a typical YouTube beauty vlog. In the video, Paras explains the process of "Trumping" by using light concealer, very orange bronzer and last but definitely not least, a bag of Cheetos.
"A lot of you have been writing and asking me to do this really popular look that's trending these days. It's not strobing, it's not contouring, it is Trumping!" Paras says in the introduction. "So I'm really excited to make your face great again."
The first step of the process is finding a concealer that's "about 10 shades lighter than your skin tone" to put around your eyes and makes you look "really dehydrated." She then takes the same concealer, which she jokes is a shade called "Veiled White Supremacy," and rubs it all over her mouth to achieve the look that you've been "running your mouth all day."
Paras then covers her entire face with a light foundation and moves on to the important bronzing step. "It's really important that you pick a bronzer that is really orange," she tells the camera. "You don't want it to be tan or brown because then somebody's going to ask you for your birth certificate and that is a definite no-no."
Once the orange bronzer is covering every inch of her face, besides the white raccoon eyes and light lips, she then moves onto the finishing orange touches, which she calls the "most important beauty tip" of the process. After she angrily and dramatically smashes the Cheetos Puffs into a fine dust, she rubs the dust all over her face for the perfect orange look.
"This face is winning, America," she explains. "Remember, with Trumping, it's not what you look like that makes you ugly."
Paras has explained that she wanted to make this video as a way to troll Trump. "After watching the amazing John Oliver segment on Trump, I was inspired," she told Mic. "All I could think about was how so many people aren't taking a closer look at all the irresponsible, inflammatory and xenophobic things he says. I thought that a beauty vlogger character would be a fun vehicle to really draw attention to that. If it's easy for all of us to criticize a woman for the precision of her eyeliner, we can make the effort to hold a mirror up to Donald Trump for his actions."
As for putting junk food directly on her face, she did have to deal with some consequences. "My skin broke out," she added. "But I think it was worth it."
There are a few things she likes about Trump, though. "He's a shining example that we can achieve a lot when we communicate at a simple, fourth-grade level," she joked. "He brought us 'The Apprentice' and that was a very entertaining show."
Paras also has thought about doing a Trump hair tutorial. "I did consider it for a moment," she explained. "But I think all things Trump are jumping the shark at this point. At least, I hope they are, for the sake of all of us."
Former late night host Jon Stewart also recently used a similar strategy to look like Trump while on Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show." In December, Stewart tried to explain his ongoing mission to get the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act renewed while dressed as Trump because apparently, that's the only way people will listen anymore. He then got out a wig and a bag of Cheetos to achieve the ultimate "Trumping" look.
