Nicole Bryl, makeup artist to First Lady Melania Trump, revealed how, at the time, because she worked for the presidential family, she was banned by several of her clients and even by beauty product suppliers.

During an interview on the podcast “Return on Identity”, the person The woman in charge of beautifying the president's wife shared how difficult it was to retain some of her clientele due to the animosity some people harbored toward the New York tycoon. "Because I was working with Melania, Donald's wife, suddenly beauty stopped being about beauty; it became political. And I was so naive at the time that I didn't understand why all the doors were closing on me. I was completely canceled," she said. Bryl even described how some people only offered to do business with her if she removed all references to having worked for the Trump family. "People would tell me, 'I'd be happy to meet with you, but you have to take your client off your Instagram page, never talk about them again, and kind of denounce the fact that they're your client.' Lipstick stopped being lipstick. Products stopped being just products. Then some of my beauty product suppliers stopped answering my calls and even stopped working with me.” “Send them to me,” she recalled. However, the makeup artist assured that, far from giving in to the pressure, she chose to let go of clients and suppliers whom she considered visceral and abusive, and instead stay with Melania Trump, whom she describes as an exceptional woman. "Nobody wants to go broke by not having more clients, but I thought, 'I hate abusers and nobody is going to intimidate me. So, I'm not going to leave her.' Melania Trump is one of the most incredible people I've ever met or worked for. She's been very kind, and she herself has suffered harassment, so I'm not going to walk away from her,” she emphasized. Nicole Bryl's comments come at a time when criticism of President Donald Trump's performance in the White House is increasing as a large segment of the population suffers due to the rising cost of living in the United States.
