ABC/Univision says it was a real tan..

[Ichingcarpenter]

Here at ABC/Univision, we wanted to clear the air a bit and find out what really happened.

So we asked the man who saw it first hand -- makeup artist Lazz Rodriguez, who applied powder and concealer to the candidate's skin that night. The verdict?

"When he walked in, I remember thinking, 'Wow this is tanner than I thought he was,' but I think he's just been outside a lot lately for his campaign," Rodriguez noted. "It was definitely a real tan."

Rodriguez has been a makeup artist for 25 years, and has applied cosmetics to hundreds of famous faces, including many celebrities and politicians, and a handful of presidents.

"Clinton was definitely the fairest-skinned of politicians I've worked with," he said. "But Romney was a lot darker than I expected," he said.

He must have been wearing some kind of magic hat that covered his ears, neckline
and hands.

4. Just because he walked in tan doesn't mean it was real

5. You guys are correct.....

I think the makeup artist was commenting on whether he, the makeup artist, made Romney look more tan. The question of what the reason was for Romney looking more tan than usual was something he was not answering.

ABC and Univision should be called out on this point.

7. Willard walked off his plane in Miami looking like that.

The makeup artist just put some powder on that to keep it from shining.

9. He could have done it himself with a tanning bed or tanning cream prior to a makeup job.

11. Does he mean "real tan" as in "not from makeup/bronzer",

or does he mean it as in "it wasn't just lighting, his skin was actually darker" -- whether it was from the sun or bronzer?

12. Bullshit can be applied in a Cream-to-Powder Foundation

to the skin of Bullshit especially from the Gomer Bulls is lighter than the Bullshit found in other cosmetic bullshit.
