"So, I got some new makeup because I low-key was starting to break out with my old makeup," the University of Miami golf recruit explained as she walked through a mall with friends.

Trump's hand-soap-related rash didn't appear in any of the photos she shared from her trip to Augusta National for the 2026 Masters.
She posted a series taken along the famed greens, as well as photos of herself posing with pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau and his caddie.
What a special place," Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa Trump's eldest child gushed.
Since there is a very strict no-phones policy at the tournament, which can result in one being banned from the course, she quickly added that the pictures were "taken with my Sony camera" on the Wednesday practice sessions before tournament play got underway.
