Jason, who plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, said his

With the constant coverage of who stood at the podium at the Republican National Convention dominating the media this week, there was one spot at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland that earned considerably less attention, but still offered some surprising insight into members of the Republican party and Trump family — the make-up chair.

That's where Jason Kelly, the official make-up artist for the RNC, was applying foundation, bronzer, and even highlighter to the faces of nearly every single person who took the stage this week, including Paul Ryan and Donald Trump, Jr.

But despite his privileged spot at convention getting up-close-and-personal with some major names, Jason told Harper's Bazaar that politically, he doesn't support anyone — and he plans to vote for Hillary Clinton.

Politics aside: The Cleveland-based make-up artist is a Democrat who plans to vote for Hillary Clinton but said that wasn't an issue while working on people at the convention

Fix it right up! Though he didn't get to work on Donald Trump, who came camera-ready, he said he'd do something about the hyper-pigmentation around his eyes, where goggles shield the skin during his spray-tans

Jason, who is the owner of Cleveland-based J Kelly Face Art, was 'thrilled' to be asked to work at the GOP event this week, despite the fact that he won't be voting that way come November. But, he added, his political differences with the men and women he was making up never became an issue.

'Politics don't need to be discussed and, if they do come up, I can calm it down and just keep it light,' he said. 'I can steer the conversation more towards one that will end in shaking hands after. You can't let your feelings get involved in something like this or you'll never get hired again. Get in where you fit in and keep it light and do your job.'

So what did this job entail? Very long, very busy days. Jason said from Monday to Thursday, he worked at least 12 hours a day, making up at least 40 people with the help of his two assistants, Tamra Malone and Kristian Bailey-Gaines. Each appointment lasted 15 to 90 minutes.

As of Tuesday morning, he still hadn't worked on Donald Trump himself, his daughters Ivanka and Tiffany, or Melania, since they all turn up camera-ready.

Tan guy: He said Donald Trump Jr. was 'charming' and needed the same shade of face make-up as one of his female assistants, who is African-American

Giving direction: Paul Ryan wanted to cover his stubble with foundation and brighten up his inner eyes

His team did, however, work on Donald Trump Jr. One of Jason's assistants, Tamra, had the honor, and said the Trump son was 'chatty' and 'charming'. As for his make-up, Donald Jr. showed up with a tan so dark that he needed to wear the same color face make-up that Tamara does does — and she's African-American.

They worked on other big names as well. On Tuesday, Paul Ryan came in, and was game for plenty of touch-ups.

'He said his 5 o'clock shadow comes in at 2,' Jason said. 'He knew he needed the full coverage foundation to cover it up. Some guys like letting the stubble show — but not him.'

The Speaker of the House also wanted his inner eyes brightened, as well as powder on his ears to cover up some redness

'Paul Ryan was funny. I was wearing a Batman shirt and there was this running joke where he'd call me Batman,' Jason said. 'I got a picture with him after. And the girls [assistants] fell in love.

Used to this: Actor Scott Baio sang to his make-up artist, one of the assistants, while he was getting his face done

Senator Joni Ernst is pictured on Monday with Jason's make-up on her knees at the RNC to cover scrapes

He did a great job - here she is Tuesday - as no scrapes were visible either day

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst needed concealer, but in an unexpected place — on her knees. She had tripped while climbing onto the stage before her speech, and needed her scrapes to be covered up.

Actor Scott Baio, who delivered an address, actually sang in the make-up chair while his face was powdered. The assistant who worked on him, Kristian, said he had 'great skin'.

W. Kirk Bell, the director of Regional Satellite and Radio Media, was afraid of looking like he had too much make-up on. got some powder to cover redness, plus a bit of bronzer.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, Jason said that though he hadn't yet worked on Trump, he had a plan for the candidate's face should he need a touch up.
