She’s blushing now.

Far-left “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — who once boasted about doing her own makeup in an Instagram tutorial — shelled out more than $2,000 last fall to a celebrity makeup artist whose clients include Bad Bunny and Bella Hadid.

On Nov. 5, her campaign reported paying New York and Los Angeles-based The Only Agency $670 for “campaign event makeup services,” then another $693.08, and $665 five days later for “campaign event hair and makeup services,” Federal Election Commission records show.

"Sporting a smokey brown eye, subtle red lip and perfectly coiffed eyebrows"

I thought 'brown eye' meant something else. Or she is getting made up where the sun don't shine.

After you put lipstick on a pig, remember it is still a pig.

Remember? Heh, doesn't take 30 minutes to recognize a sunset.

It’s because everyone “wants to date her”. Hahahahaha

She had to put on her own makeup before she entered Congress.

Now that she has put her huge donkey-sized mouth on the government teat, and gained full access to the types of graft and corruption, she can use campaign funds to pay for her makeup application.

There is an old saying: Never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel.

A variant of that might be never offer free cosmetics to someone who applies them to her face by trowel.

[Dr. Franklin]

With a face like that, she needs all of the make up she can get.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Outrageous? No it isn’t.

[rlmorel]

It is expected, not outrageous.

[Leaning Right]

Hat tip to the NY Post for reporting on things the rest of the media would rather ignore.

AOC’s behavior here isn’t the crime of the century. Nevertheless, it’s worth letting the public know about it.

All Democrats, most Independents and some RINOs are “show business.” Appearances sell to the dumbed-down, and they know it. Cynical and worse....

[cuz1961]

Par for the course for a practitioner of the 2 oldest professions.

What does the socialist bartender have to hide? Only 4.87 years left.

Good point. I supposed things started to fall apart when TV became popular. Then appearance became more important than substance.

I read somewhere that most folks who heard the JFK-Nixon debate on the radio thought Nixon won. But most folks who watched it on TV thought the younger, more photogenic JFK won.

[MrRelevant]

This woman is everything being Congress SHOULDNT be about. Its a vehicle to become a celebrity…. Thats all. She has no meaningful legislation ever passed, she is a communist and last I checked her own constituents dont like her much. Whats the point? Living the high life , thats it.

[butlerweave]

She got ripped off ,LOL

[GingisK]

Got to admit, she needs expensive makeup artists. Perhaps she should lead that effort with a carpenter or cabinet maker. See, I’m thinking belt sander here.

[4yearlurker]

No amount of makeup expertise can fix stupid.

when u give someone money you lose control of how they spend it.

--- "I supposed things started to fall apart when TV became popular. Then appearance became more important than substance."

There is a German poem about the difference between appearances and reality. The last lines ( machine translation ) are: "You know them only from the outside; / you see the waistcoat, not the heart."

Today, that "winning smile" is enhanced by Photoshop and framed such that "halos" encircle some politicians, as if saints. Case in point, and not the only one:

"The accompanying cover story was written by Andrew Sullivan, the popular--and openly gay--political blogger. The magazine even gives the commander-in-chief a rainbow halo."

Snopes tagged as "true" amusingly, and one substantiation finds archived:
