Despite speculation that Mitt Romney got a bad spray tan or even purposely tried to make his skin darkerduring a recent Univision forum held at the University of Miami, the truth appears to be a bit less devious.According to ABC News/Univision, the makeup artist on hand that night just went a little too heavy on a darker shade of MAC foundation.

Someone wearing bad, heavy makeup in Miami? Sounds about right.

Because of studio lighting, just about everyone who appears on television is caked in a greasy layer of makeup before they go on air.

Makeup artist Lazz Rodriguez, a 25-year veteran, was on hand that night and says he wasn't quite prepared for Romney's natural tan.
