They're hiding how old and decrepit they look.

Looking tanned can be a stereotype about being rich and successful ("from the elite"), can be about being hardworking ("from the people"), can be about being energetic and decisive (strength, efficiency).

Anyway, their cosmetics don't yet look uglier than those from Russian "council of the federation" photos.

Seems not the most important thing. Having bad taste is not a crime.

Man! I've been rich and successful my entire life! Specially in summer! It don't feel like it though. Speaking of which, I've watched a ton of porn and I can tell that nipples tend to be the total opposite.

No, see it's like a chameleon: it's for blending into their surroundings. Their natural habitat is most likely... uh ... a faux leather seat from the 60s? Or some old slightly off color wood paneling. Get them in their hunting ground and all you will see is a telltale shimmer against the backdrop...
