Donald Trump‘s glamorous press secretary Karoline Leavitt has been revealing all of her beauty secrets – much to the delight of fans.
Leavitt, 27, has taken Washington, D.C., by storm over the last few months as the youngest person to have ever been appointed to the position.
However, before she was took the post at The White House, she was the national press secretary for Trump’s presidential campaign.
At the time, she took to Instagram to tell fans how she did her makeup for television appearances in a video that has recently resurfaced.
‘I receive a lot of questions about how I do my makeup when I go on TV… so I figured I’d show it!’ Leavitt wrote in the caption of the clip, which was originally posted in November 2023.
‘Here’s the look I did for a hit on Fox Business… in my New York City hotel room at literally 4am,’ she shared.
But before diving into the video, the mom-of-one admitted that she couldn’t take all the credit.
‘I can’t take all of the credit because when I arrive at the networks, the amazing hair and makeup teams provide touch ups. However most of the time, I do interviews from my home studio and I’m my own glam team!’ she wrote.

After she applies that all over her face, she combines two foundations – Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty Soft’Lit Naturally Luminous Hydrating Longwear Foundation that retails at $40, along with the $47 Too Faced Born This Way liquid foundation
Starting off the makeup routine, Leavitt revealed that she used the $48 Plump and Prime Serum by Too Faced Cosmetics, which is meant to ‘prep skin for flawless makeup application.’

She blended out the products with a fluffy foundation brush, followed by a Beauty Blender around her eye area.
Following that, Leavitt applied a touch of eyeshadow with the $54 Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette by Too Faced, which was mostly comprised of shimmering neutral shades, and some undereye concealer.
Keeping with the Too Faced products, which appeared to be her favorite, she used their $25 Brow Wig eyebrow gel and their $29 Better Than Sex mascara to make her blue eyes pop.
Of course, Leavitt didn’t leave out an important step, which was contouring, which she did with a contour stick, applying it on her cheekbones, under the chin and on the forehead.
She followed up with a shimmering powder bronzer by Too Faced, which seems to have since been discontinued.
The Trump aide then blended it all out with a Beauty Blender.

And, for the finishing touches, the 27-year-old set her face makeup with a setting powder, applied a peach-toned blush from Benefit, and a berry-hued $30 lip oil from Clarins, which matched the color of the leather dress she was wearing for the TV appearance

The finished look gave her a gorgeous, sun-kissed glow.
However, in more recent months, it appears that she has changed some aspects of her makeup routine, opting for a light, bubblegum-pink lip in her March 21 MAGA Minute on Instagram.
For most of her press conferences so far, she’s also chosen light, neutral makeup, always complete with a berry-colored or pink lip.
Her resurfaced makeup routine comes just a few weeks after she opened up about her 32-year age gap with husband Nicholas Riccio.
The 27-year-old and the 59-year-old real estate mogul officially tied the knot at the start of the year, after welcoming their son Niko in July 2024.
Opening up to Megyn Kelly about how the romance first began, the New Hampshire recalled: ‘I met my husband during my Congressional Campaign. A mutual friend of ours hosted an event at a restaurant that he owns up in New Hampshire and invited my husband.
‘I was speaking. We met and we were acquainted as friends. And then we fell in love.’

Karoline confirmed that she had dealt with those initials doubts about how the 32-year age gap would impact the relationship
When The Megyn Kelly Show host asked if there had been any thought in her mind of ‘I can’t date him, he’s 59 and I’m 27?’
Karoline confirmed that she had dealt with those initials doubts about how the 32-year age gap would impact the relationship.
‘Yes, of course. I mean it’s a very atypical love story but he’s incredible,’ she gushed. ‘He is my greatest supporter, he’s my best friend and he’s my rock.’
The political aide continued: ‘He’s built a very successful business himself so now he’s fully supportive of me building my success in my career.
He’s the father of my child and he’s the best dad I could ever ask for. And he is so supportive, especially during a very chaotic period of life.’
The government official noted just how much her partner has had to take on thanks to her current role as she added: ‘I say, ‘I walked into your life and it’s been a circus ever since’ but God bless him because he’s fully on board’.
Megyn noted that he is ‘Italiano, he’s a lover, he’s a romantic man’, to which Karoline enthusiastically agreed.
