If you're one of the many who live for Alec Baldwin and his hilarious (and scarily-accurate) impressions of president-elect Donald Trump every week on Saturday Night Live, you might be surprised to learn that gearing up to channel the business mogul-turned-politician only takes a few tweaks to his normal grooming routine.
According to a recent profile by the New York Times, which strips down the actor's backstage prep process at 30 Rockefeller Center, we learned that it only takes seven minutes for Baldwin's grooming squad to transform him into our soon-to-president. And the best part? Clinique is involved.
"A dusting of Clinique Stay-Matte Powder in Honey. A hand-stitched wig. Eyebrows glued up into tiny peaks," according the Times. But wait, there's more: "The rest is left to Alec Baldwin: the puckered lips, a studied lumbering gait and a wariness of humanizing a man he reviles."
So, there you have it: Alec Baldwin gets his Cheeto-inspired, Donald Trump-like glow on with the help of a light dusting of actual pressed powder, one with an oil-free finish, and inimitable pumpkin-cast, and sheer to moderate coverage. Should you want to pick up a compact, it retails for $25 at sephora.com. We're predicting a run on the market, so act now.
