She's America's top "model."
Michelle Obama is the nation's first first lady to add a full-time makeup artist to her traveling entourage, according to stylists who have worked with presidential wives over the past 16 years.
Makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, helped create Obama's signature look on her inaugural trip to Europe last week.
Grimes-Miles, who has been working with the first lady for six years, now splits her time between DC and Chicago, where she dolls up morning-news anchors for WGN TV.
"No other first ladies have consistently traveled with a makeup artist," said hairdresser Bernard Portelli, who styled Hillary Rodham Clinton's blond mane in 1993 and tracks trends in first-lady style.

Paper Bag.
If her fees and travel are paid by the Obama’s I don’t care. If the taxpayer is paying, that is something quite else. Anyone know???
A few months ago there was this big flap about “lipstick on a pig”! Where is the outrage now?
Sure—keep trying, but you can’t make a purse out of a sows ear.
With a full time make up artist she looks like that?
Good point. The liberals had a meltdown about Sarah Palin’s clothes, but they think that this image makeover stuff is ok for a good Democrat first lady.
Michelle Obama urgently needs a full-time makeup artist because shes ...FUGLY
Lipstick on a pig an all, I wonder what they’ll do next to cover up MO’s ugly soul.
Consider the source. Males in the fashion world aren't looking at women the same way as normal people.
