Steve Jobs Needs No Makeup

Ever wonder why Apple demigod CEO Steve Jobs looks a bit wan while under bright studio lights? Ever eye the edges of his black mock turtleneck and wonder why they weren't smudged with greasepaint during MacWorld? Ever wonder what Silicon Valley movers and shakers talk about when gathered together? Venture Capitalist Steve Jurvetston gives us a peek into a party conversation at last night's Product (Red) charity event between Jurvetson, Jobs, and Product (Red) cofounder Bobby Shriver (brother of California first lady Maria Shriver).

Somehow we got on the topic of makeup for TV interviews…
Jobs: I have never worn makeup.
Shriver: Really?
Jobs: I don’t give a s**t what I look like.
Shriver: But some people do.
Me: Yeah, like Schwarzenegger. Boy, does he layer it on. Have you ever seen him close up?
Shriver chortles: Have I ever seen him close up? I can’t believe you asked me that.
