Considered one of the most beautiful women, Melania Trump’s beauty routine is something many are eager to get an insight into as questions about whether she has undergone surgical procedures over the years remain a hot topic.
Melania, who is of Slovenian descent, worked as a model in her youth. She has always described her childhood as a happy one, thanking her parents for everything they’ve ever done for her and her sister.
Melania was 16 when she caught the attention of fashion photographer Stane Jerko. He first spotted her leaning on a fence while leaving a fashion show at the Festival Hall.
“By the staircase at the entrance, I saw this girl,” Jerko recalled. “She was tall, slim, with long hair. I told her who I was, what I did, and why I would photograph her.”
It was back in 1987 when young Melania decided to drop out of the University of Ljubljana and focus on modeling instead. It took her only a year to get a contract with a modeling agency in Milan.
Once in Milan, Melania focused on her goal of making a name for herself and went home after work instead of partying.
“She kept to herself, she was a loner. After a shoot or a catwalk, she went home, not out. She didn’t want to waste time partying,” Jerko said.
Eventually, Melania met famous Italian businessman Paolo Zampolli, who helped her get a work visa to the U.S.
Even today, the first lady is praised for her impeccable looks. Experts, however, believe her looks is due to botox, fillers, and even plastic surgeries.
“Her face has a stony look from being overfilled and over-botoxed,” Dr. Franklin Rose told The Skincare Edit.
“Melania’s forehead is as smooth as a baby’s rear end, so she’s had liberal amounts of Botox for sure. Her cheeks, along with the nasolabial lines between the nose and corners of the mouth, likely have fillers. [Her rhinoplasty] is a beautiful job. Whoever is treating her now is just a little overzealous with the injectables.”
The FLOTUS, however, denied these rumors. Speaking with GQ in 2016, she also denied having undergone a breast augmentation.
“I didn’t make any changes,” Melania said. “A lot of people say I am using all the procedures for my face. I didn’t do anything. I live a healthy life, I take care of my skin and my body. I’m against Botox, I’m against injections; I think it’s damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It’s all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does.”
Nicole Bryl, a makeup artist, shared an insight into Melania Trump’s beauty routine.
Bryl spoke to Women’s Wear Daily and revealed some of the tricks she used when styling the First Lady.
“I certainly spend the most amount of time on my client’s skin. Ensuring that there is always a gentle, flawless glow and that everything is blended perfectly is a skill I never tire of perfecting. I would also say I have a gift for customizing individual eyelashes quickly,” she said.
Sharing her beauty regimen, Melania said in 2012, “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!”
