Shereene Idriss breaks down Bad Bunny's aged look at the Met Gala. The white hair and under-eye bags get the attention, but she argues the dark-spot makeup across his face is what actually ages him. When she removes it with a filter, he looks 30 again, proving an even skin tone matters more than wrinkles.

Our buddy Bad Bunny just turned into Old Bunny at the Met Gala, and it accidentally proves what this dermatologist has been saying for years. But before I get into it, this is Bad Bunny today, and when he says, all the titis are asking him, how do you look so good? Because it's clear, it's even, and there are zero dark spots.
It's giving Baby Bunny early 30s, but this is him at the Met Gala.
White hair, under-eye bags, prosthetics, obviously older, but the makeup artist did something that most people missed. They added dark spots all over his face and forehead and really makes him look 70 years old, and not so much the white hair. And if you don't believe me, watch what happens when I get rid of his dark spots with the Paris filter. The hair stays white, the eye bags stay, but the dark spots gone. And suddenly he looks like a 30-year-old wearing a wig. We've been trained to think that lines and wrinkles equal old, but really we've been sold a lie because aging well starts by evening out your skin tone.
