Okay, let’s set one thing straight. When one appears on television, they must wear makeup. Period. The bright lights would otherwise make one look like a sickly ghost and no one wants that. Plus, with high-definition, viewers can see any and every blemish a TV presenter might have…so yes, makeup is used to make the person look NORMAL. Remember I said NORMAL, not like an Oompa-Loompa.
Obviously we’ve been teasing Trump for his makeup for years, because he wears it all the time, not just when he’s on TV. But now, it appears Sean Hannity is taking a page from the Trump handbook and going orange.
On Tuesday, the Fox News host shared a link to a segment from his show Hannity, a conservative television political talk program on the network, to X/Twitter.
During the show [1], he discussed a Harvard/Harris CAPS poll that was released this week. It found that Democrats’ general approval of Trump has risen since he left office in January 2021. Usual stuff, Trump good, Biden bad. You know the schtick.

But many viewers were more interested in Hannity’s physical appearance during the segment. It didn’t take long for people to pipe in with their opinions:
Does Hannity think wearing that heavy orange makeup will make Trump like him more?

Do you use the same makeup as Trump? You're beginning to look like him. They do say pets and their owners often have similar features. pic.twitter.com/51Bm0aK1Sb [5]

Looks like Hannity has been getting makeup tips from his orange master.

This isn’t the first time that people have drawn a comparison between Hannity and Trump, as similar comparisons were made earlier in February.

While his appearance doesn’t often come under scrutiny, the same can’t be said for Trump. In January people called for the former president to “fire” his makeup artists, pointing out apparent blunders on social media.
Photos were shared on X questioning the quality of his makeup and highlighting issues with the color, lack of blending and “too many highlights.”
“I love trump but dang! He needs to fire his makeup person,” wrote one person under a video of Trump speaking after his New Hampshire primary win on January 23.
