The Curious Case Of Mitt Romney’s Univision Tan Has Been Solved

On Wednesday, Mitt Romney appeared on Univision‘s Meet the Candidates forum in Florida. For better or for worse, however, we barely paid attention to what he was saying because our peepers were focused on his overly bronzed skin. Was that due to self-tanner? Bad lighting? Was it on purpose?

Univision’s managing editor Fernando Rodriguez-Vila and his crew drummed up an informal investigation on the curious case of Romney’s face, and it turns out that it was just the result of some good, old-fashioned makeup over-application. Vilatook took to Twitter to report that his colleague spoke with Romney’s make-up artist Lazz Rodriguez, proving that “So far there is no evidence of foul play from Romney.”

So, what exactly was on Romney’s face? MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NW30. In case you were dying to know, or something.

    Mitt Romney’s Magic Mormon Underwear protects him from the
    evils of the world including socialism, illegal immigrants, homosexuals and
    taxes on his wealth. Can these sacred
    garments also make it rain down enough cash for a victory in this race since
    well over 90% of public offices are bought in our country by Big Money? Drop by to discuss these mysterious tighty
    whities and the role of money in politics at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/05/mitt-romneys-magic-mormon-underwear.html

    I have noticed most of the teabagger men overdo their makeup and wear their skirts a little short .
    The teabag chicks do wear some cool combat boots .

  • WiddleBabyDanielson

    Seriously.
    I heard NOTHING that he had to say because I was so distracted.
    The only thing I could think of was…HOW INSULTING.

    So, Mittens had his makeup artist “brown him up” a little for “those people.” But nothing permanent. Got it.

    Señor Willard wanted to look more ethnic and blend in with his new-found amigos. Zero for two, gringo.

    Wow, it was pancake makeup. How disrespectful and pathetic.

    I was sure it was spray tan.Man,that’s a lot of makeup.

    To think this wasn’t deliberate would be a stretch. In the least, I’d fire his makeup artist. Lord knows he loves to fire people.

    Romney takes BROWN NOSING to the next level.

    The fact remains that when Romney got off of the plane on Wednesday in Miami his face was dark-brown (there are photos of him getting off of the plane) – and that was BEFORE he went to Univision.
    So, NO – the mystery is NOT solved.

    He should have gone full-tilt chola with lip liner, a sharpie eyebrows & a bandana.

    Are you people really flipping out about THIS? We have REAL ISSUES at hand that Obama is certainly not fixing, but you’re focusing on Mitt’s makeup or tan? All you think about is race. It has NOTHING to do with race. You don’t care if this country goes down the drain – you just want to play games. It’s so pathetic.

  • http://smallthoughtsfromasmallmind.wordpress.com/ Charles Kirtley

    What a non-issue. It’s truly amazing what passes as journalism today.

  • dmelinu

    Sorry, but he was already tanned before the show, therefore before makeup. He probably asked the Speaker for advise. LOL

  • Diane Wall

    Is there no end to which the liberal media will go to discredit Romney?!!!and you, dear lemmings follow! Hope you enjoy paying for all of Obama’s programs in a few years.

  • http://realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/president/ CyberForce

    Yea, questioning anything about this pandering liar is always pathetic.

    *rolls eyes*

  • http://realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/president/ CyberForce

    That was no accident. There isn’t a make up artist in the country that would not notice something like that, and there’s no way that Mittens himself missed it.

    And it’s being taken for what it is by Latinos. Laughable pandering.

  • http://realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/president/ CyberForce

    What’s stupid is that you hate the President so much, that you will buy any line at all that’s fed to you that you believe will keep Mittens stupidity out of the spotlight.

  • http://realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/president/ CyberForce

    I was working with a group of about 30 Latinos this afternoon.

    Believe me, they aren’t as stupid as Team Rmoney seems to think they are.

  • Anonymous

    Perhaps, but last I checked Latinos aren’t bright orange.

    I suspect that Mitt is trying to appeal to the under-appreciated “Oompa Loompa” demo.

  • uaintdown

    Barack had whitener on to make him look more brown.

    Wait until you see the make up he chose for BET!

    Univision no doubt supports Obama (come on not even worth arguing).
    Their make up artist made Romney look silly.
    It was probably more personal than a huge attempt to be political on her part, but mission accomplished.

  • Anonymous

    God forbid we ever get a president this retarded. Makes Bush look like a genius in comparison.

  • Anonymous

    This is actually a throw-back to the black-face performances of the early twentieth century. It shows how totally ignorant and backwards Romney is. It also shows not just that he is out of touch, but his racist mentality – given the hispanic jokes, and being in the mormon church which didn’t allow blacks full membership or priesthood before 1978. Just an embarassing piece of trash that should be removed from the national stage.

  • WiddleBabyDanielson

    There has to be a great verse to the oompa loompa song for this.

    Sounds like you are leaving the country when Slick Willard loses. He’ll miss you.

    So is Romney too blind to see himself looking like that and too timid to say “WTF?!”…..right, there’s leadership for you

    or maybe avoiding the headline
    “Romney tells Univision makeup artist she made him look “too brown”.

    When I posted that, I knew for an absolute fact that some jack ass wingnut would post that as a response.

    Predictable tools.

    the mass amount of hate on everything this election is a very flattering shade. im not sure how people believe insults will sway a voter left or right. tell me why obama will make the country better, tell me why romney would make the country better. petty stuff makes everyone look so immature.

  • Anonymous

    Well, that’s usually the case isn’t it? That’s usually the case. You have your reasons for wanting illegals here, and those reasons have nothing to do with your kind heartedness.
    I can guarantee you those smart latinos thought you were el gringo estupido.

  • Anonymous

    Latin Americans idolize light skinned people. Watch any telenovela. The people are fair skinned and in many cases blue eyed. If Romney wanted to appeal to the masses, he would certainly not have asked to be any browner. He would have played his natural good looks.

    Did you see Obama’s interview? He was one coat of foundation away from RuPaul’s drag race.

    It’s Latin American TV. They are heavy handed with the makeup. End of story. Really, are you people that full of hate that you have to run with this and try to make it deliberate?

  • Anonymous

    We were not “dying” to know, but Mitt Romney sure was “dying” his face!

  • JamiG4

    Looks like Mitt has picked up Doritos as a sponsor. You too can stick your head in the bag and come out looking like an Oompa Loompa! What an insult to Oompa Loompas…

  • raquel

    They’re not stupid at all, cyber. Most hispanics in US speak two languages and are much more knowledgeable in international matters than your average gringo. I oughtta know, I’m american of mexican decent :)

  • daniel

    ignorant tea bagger, are ya?

  • raquel

    Where the hell do you come up with your silly ass idea that we latinos idolize your pale skin and blue eyes?! Excuse me tix but I happen to love my brownness more than you’ll ever know and all my boyfriends (including pale ones) seem to love it too! You are wrong, we do not idolize your whiteness!!!

  • noteabags4me

    The fact of the matter is that mitt robme is a hypocrite and a liar that will fake his own skin color for the sole purpose of tricking others into believing he’s like them! That is very bad and stupid. Can you understand that?! Surely you don’t condone this type of behavior from someone who wants to be potus!!

  • kate

    wrong again neocon! Look it up and you’ll see that univision leans right and donates to republican candidates. They are supporting your loser, romney!

  • Anonymous

    Everything in Hispanic culture would seem to prove you wrong. The elite classes have always been the Spanish and therefore lighter people. It’s your culture not mine. Don’t ask me to explain why.
    My point was that the last thing Romney would be trying to do is look browner to appeal to the telenovela watching audience.
    Now go have fun with your white boyfriends.

  • Frickenmitten

    I just can’t wait to see the makeup job when he goes to court the NAACP!
    He’ll have to go a lot heavier on the spray.

    Willard was brown-nosing Trump and got carried away.

    Maybe the makeup artist did it on purpose.

    It would have to have been done on purpose.

    Univision is bias regarding political parties. i dont believe it was done on purpose and there is no one to blame. so LET IT GO!!!!!!!!
