Melania Trump\u2019s path to fame and the American Dream began in her homeland of Slovenia, where she started her modeling career. As a teenager, she moved to the U.S., facing some difficult years before eventually finding success in the highly competitive industry.<\/p>\n
Now, at 54, Melania continues to prioritize both her physical and mental well-being. Despite this, some experts speculate that she has undergone plastic surgery or received Botox treatments\u2014claims she has consistently denied.<\/p>\n
Melania has long been admired for her looks, and her ability to maintain a youthful appearance is striking. But what\u2019s her secret? One possible factor is her makeup, and an expert has now shared insights into how she achieves her signature look.<\/p>\n
Melania and her husband, Donald Trump, have returned to the White House. Four years after leaving office following their loss to Joe Biden, they are back\u2014and the First Lady has stated that this time will be different.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe difference is I know where I will be going, I know the rooms where we will be living. I know the process. The first time was challenging,\u201d Melania told Fox. \u201cBut this time, I have everything\u2014I already packed, I already selected the furniture that needs to go in. So it\u2019s very different.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former model is expected to divide her time between the White House, Palm Beach, and New York City. Her and Donald\u2019s son, Barron Trump, began attending New York University\u2019s Stern Business School last fall, and Melania is committed to being there for him as much as possible.<\/p>\n
As mentioned, Melania has promised that Donald\u2019s second term will be different for her, and many agree. Speaking to Hello! Magazine, her official photographer, Regine Mahaux, noted that her confidence has grown significantly, and that this time, a different First Lady is stepping into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s always been hands-on, but she\u2019s more free nowadays to make a statement,\u201d Mahaux said. \u201cShe\u2019s a different person than she was eight years ago and has always stayed true to herself. This time, it feels like a new energy, with different people surrounding the President.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s always in the right place,\u201d he continued. \u201cShe stands behind her husband. He\u2019s in the spotlight; she doesn\u2019t need to be. She\u2019s an excellent number two. Her husband always comes first, and I admire that\u2014she has strong family values, believes in being a supportive wife, and prioritizes their happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Melania\u2019s rise to success began with humble beginnings in Slovenia. As a teenager, she moved to the U.S. to pursue modeling, building an impressive career. Over the years, she has been considered a natural beauty, though this has led to persistent rumors about potential cosmetic procedures.<\/p>\n
Speculation has swirled regarding possible plastic surgery, Botox, and lip fillers. Some experts insist she has made subtle alterations, though there is no definitive proof.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer face has a stony look from being overfilled and over-Botoxed,\u201d Dr. Franklin Rose told The Skincare Edit.<\/p>\n
\u201cMelania\u2019s forehead is as smooth as a baby\u2019s skin, which suggests she\u2019s had liberal amounts of Botox. Her cheeks and the nasolabial lines between her nose and mouth corners likely have fillers. [Her rhinoplasty] is a beautiful job, but whoever is treating her now may be slightly overdoing the injectables.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Dev Patel, medical director of Perfect Skin Solutions in Portsmouth, echoed this sentiment, noting that there are \u201cobvious signs\u201d she has likely undergone Botox treatments.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was sharing a rather personal account of her background, yet her upper face wasn\u2019t moving in sync with her words. In fact, it wasn\u2019t moving at all. This suggests that her doctor is using Botox in heavy doses,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
A third expert, Dr. Jag Chana, believes that comparing past and present photos of Melania reveals changes to her nose.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe nose is narrower, and the tip looks more refined. The minor irregularities along the bridge line suggest an osteotomy, which is a procedure done during rhinoplasty to narrow the nose. Her upper lip also appears fuller than in her younger photos, likely due to lip fillers. Her forehead is completely smooth and wrinkle-free\u2014likely from Botox.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Munir Somji adds, \u201cIt seems she has had forehead contouring with filler for a more rounded shape, along with Botox to lift the brows. Her face also appears slimmer, possibly due to buccal fat removal, and she has likely had jawline fillers combined with radio frequency tightening for a more chiseled look.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Patel also estimated that her potential cosmetic treatments could have cost around $13,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think few would argue that she looks strikingly beautiful in photos, but with so many people embracing facial aesthetic treatments, it would be surprising if a former model\u2014especially one in the public eye\u2014wasn\u2019t doing the same,\u201d he told The Express.<\/p>\n
Melania Denies Cosmetic Procedures
\nMelania has consistently refuted claims of undergoing plastic surgery. In a 2016 interview with GQ, she dismissed speculation about facial procedures and breast augmentation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t make any changes,\u201d she said. \u201cMany people claim I use all these procedures on my face, but I haven\u2019t done anything. I live a healthy life, take care of my skin and body. I\u2019m against Botox, I\u2019m against injections; I think they damage your face and nerves. It\u2019s all me. I will age gracefully, just like my mother.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to her non-drinking lifestyle and healthy eating habits, Melania credits makeup for maintaining her youthful appearance. Her makeup artist, Nicole Bryl, previously revealed the secrets behind her flawless look.<\/p>\n
\u201cI spend the most time on my client\u2019s skin, ensuring there is always a gentle, flawless glow and that everything is blended perfectly. That\u2019s a skill I never tire of perfecting,\u201d Bryl told Women\u2019s Wear Daily.<\/p>\n
Melania herself shared her beauty routine with Refinery29 in 2012, emphasizing skincare.<\/p>\n
\u201cI take vitamins and use an oxygen cream moisturizer. Everything is natural\u2014A, C, and E, and I mix them together. Caring for your skin is essential, inside and out, morning to night (especially at night!). You need to remove makeup and moisturize,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
Melania\u2019s Bold Makeup Choices
\nHow does one achieve Melania\u2019s signature look? Hello! Magazine spoke with celebrity makeup artist Philippa Louise, who revealed that Melania opts for a heavier makeup style\u2014something often discouraged for women in their 50s.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you reach your 50s, makeup should be subtle, and application rules should be followed for a sophisticated, effortless look. Makeup should empower, not overpower,\u201d Louise advised.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing worse than caked-on makeup that emphasizes the wrong areas and ages you. Women over 50, like Melania, can pull off a slightly heavier look for major events\u2014provided the right techniques and products are used. Her style is elegant, chic, and sophisticated, and her makeup artist clearly selects the right products for her skin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louise further emphasized that \u201cless is more\u201d when it comes to makeup after a certain age.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we age, skin becomes dehydrated, dull, and loses elasticity. Makeup should enhance, not mask. Melania\u2019s look works because her skincare routine is strong. Good skincare is key\u2014it\u2019s an ongoing process that she likely follows religiously. Investing in quality skincare tailored to your complexion makes all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
While makeup plays a role, maintaining a youthful appearance requires more than just beauty products. Amish Patel, an aesthetics expert, told the Daily Mail that Melania\u2019s healthy habits also contribute to her timeless look.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe clearly takes care of herself, which is crucial in aging gracefully. A diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants, drinking plenty of water, avoiding excess sugar and alcohol, and getting enough sleep all play a part,\u201d Patel said.<\/p>\n
Melania\u2019s Exercise and Haircare Secrets
\nMelania is also said to enjoy Pilates and tennis\u2014two activities that help reduce stress and improve circulation, promoting healthier skin.<\/p>\n
Another key factor? Her hair. Experts say that strategic hair color choices can also contribute to a more youthful appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
