Melania Trump's make-up at charity event 'a bit too much' for 9-year-old London schoolgirl as it 'made her look sad'
A local schoolgirl, who was among the children visited by First Lady Melania Trump at the Salvation Army Centre in Clapton, north London on Wednesday, December 4, criticized the mother-of-one's makeup as "a bit much"
After Melania met with the children at the event, 9-year-old Quiana Mullings had quite a candid opinion about the former's appearance for the day. Although President Donald Trump's wife is usually spot on when it comes to her makeup on foreign tours as well as domestic engagements, in the schoolgirl's unfiltered opinion, it was overdone that particular day.
"I'm gonna be honest and say her make-up was a bit much. It made her look sad but actually she was very happy," she said to a reporter after the visit, Daily Mail reported.
Another schoolgirl from the event, Isabelle Bates, 10, admitted that before the first lady's visit, she was of the opinion that she would be grumpy but she was surprised to find out that she was actually "really nice."
"My impression of her was really nice. Everyone was expecting her to be grumpy but she was really nice," she said. "There was a picture in school we saw and we were looking at it and she looked really grumpy. But she wasn't."
During the event, Melania also took the time to interact with the kids and patiently answered the random questions thrown at her by the young attendees. It was also how the children were shocked to discover that the first lady had never tried a mince pie, which is a popular British delicacy.
"Everyone was asking her random questions, what do you do for Christmas and that," Bates said. "We were talking about mince pies and she said she never had one but she was going to try one tonight. I thought she was really fun."
Melania also joined in spreading a bit of Christmas cheer among the young individuals by helping them attach pine cones to a wreath covered in yellow tinsel and assisting the US Marines put gifts into large holiday-themed plastic sacks.
She also donated presents for the charity’s holiday drive, including white baseball caps, white Frisbees and soccer balls all carrying the logo of her “Be Best” youth initiative.
