When your family is full of politicians and models, life in the public eye is non-negotiable. And despite being under constant public scrutiny, even women in the Trump family let their hair down from time to time — quite literally.

00:00When your family is full of politicians and models, life in the public eye is non-negotiable.
00:06And despite being under constant public scrutiny, even women in the Trump family let their hair
00:11down from time to time.
00:13The coronavirus pandemic has been held up as the Great Leveler, and it even altered
00:17beauty trends. Ivanka Trump proved this by fulfilling her public duties during quarantine
00:22in the classic work-from-home attire of disheveled hair, casual wardrobe, and no makeup.
00:27After COVID-19 was declared a national emergency in the United States, Ivanka took to Instagram
00:32to urge her followers to comply with social distancing guidelines with a strikingly informal
00:37appearance.
00:38This will end, and we will emerge stronger than ever before."
00:44This may or may not have been a calculated decision by the former political advisor,
00:48who was known for her makeup indulgence. Either way, it sure struck a chord with her audience.
00:53Witnessing what Ivanka looked like underneath all that makeup was a breath of fresh air
00:57for social media users, many of whom gushed about how she looks without all the glam.
01:02Her skin appeared free of highlighters, leading many to either rave or inquire about it in
01:07the comments.
01:08Luckily for them, Ivanka's beauty secrets have been out in the open for a while now.
01:12Her longtime makeup artist, Alexa Rodolfo, once told Hola! Magazine,
01:16"[Ivanka is someone who eats nutritious foods, exercises regularly, doesn't smoke, and protects
01:21her skin."
01:23When she is out and about for work, Laura Trump is loyal to the family's application
01:27of bold makeup. Offstage, however, she keeps it a bit more real. While navigating the daily
01:32routines of her life, Laura revels in the comforts of a makeup-free existence.
01:37The proof is all over her social media, where she doesn't shy away from sharing candid peeks
01:41into the time she spends outside of politics as a regular woman in messy buns and natural
01:46skin. Fitness is one of her hobbies, and as someone who spends time at the gym, bicycling
01:50outdoors and horseback riding, Laura knows to sweat it out helped Lee without layers
01:55of makeup waging war against her pores.
01:57Compared to other Trump family women who really like to slather it on, Laura's approach to
02:02makeup is definitely more minimal. True to Trump form, she usually focuses on eyeshadow.
02:08Tiffany Trump has occasionally taken the stage in support of her father ever since he made
02:12his first Republican presidential bid. But for the better part of Donald Trump's political
02:16career, his youngest daughter has eschewed the spotlight in favor of a more regular life
02:21than the rest of her families. Her approach to bureaucratic fame has been evident not
02:25just through her low participation in the Trump legacy, but also in the treatment of
02:29her celebrity status.
02:31A year into Trump's first term as president, Tiffany was photographed looking relaxed while
02:35on holiday in Tuscany. Notably, she sported a bikini and a makeup-free face. For any other
02:40Trump foot soldier on the front lines, this could well have caused a PR faux pas. But
02:45given Tiffany's position as a low-key member of Team Trump, her paparazzi pictures didn't
02:50warrant much of a peep in the tabloids. In fact, the whole thing had such an unassuming
02:54air about it that a passing look at the photos, in which Tiffany had her hair down and her
02:58face bare, might not have even given away her standing as the then-sitting president's
03:02daughter.
03:03The year before Donald Trump secured his first presidency, Tiffany sat for an offbeat shoot
03:08sans makeup and clothes. The portrait video was part of a confessional series recorded
03:13by Los Angeles-based photographer Scott Nathan. According to an official release, the series
03:18sought to portray women's realist selves before the camera with, quote,
03:22"...no masks, no hair stylist, no makeup, no retouching, and no objectification."
03:27The multimedia project eventually premiered in 2019, showing Tiffany in a light the public
03:32had never seen. When she campaigned for her father's 2016 presidential race, she looked
03:37much like the other blonde-haired, wide-eyed women in the Trump family. Nathan's video,
03:42however, gave the world a glimpse into a radically different version of Tiffany.
03:46In keeping with Nathan's instruction to not look away from the center of the camera lens,
03:50Tiffany interacts with the camera for nearly 30 minutes completely bare-faced. This left
03:54her freckles, under-eyes, natural eyebrows, and everything else that makeup can enhance
03:59on display. In a follow-up interview shared by the New York Post, Tiffany said that she
04:03became less aware of the camera in front of her as the shoot went on.
04:07I think throughout the process, I did start becoming less aware and just less focused
04:13on it and just more focused in my, myself."
04:17Tiffany's mother, Marla Maples, was also part of Nathan's confessional project. In her approximately
04:22seven-minute video, the actor effortlessly stares into the lens, playing with her expressions.
04:28In her post-shoot interview, she reflected about how good the experience felt and lessons
04:32she's learned about being true to herself.
04:35Life has taught me through some tough challenges to overcome and get to the core of who I am."
04:43While some may know Maples best as Donald Trump's ex-wife, her career in film, television,
04:48and theater has endured beyond that reputation. Like some other Hollywood celebrities, Maples'
04:53social media accounts share a balance of glam photoshoots and candid photos that can relate
04:57her to modern audiences. Given her seemingly thriving social life and love for the great
05:02outdoors, she likely gets plenty of opportunities to break away from the monotony of making
05:07up her face and just be.
