Chicago's Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson spent more than $30,000 of campaign funds on hair and makeup since launching his bid for office last year, according to a new report.
Johnson, who defeated incumbent mayor Lori Lightfoot in 2023, reportedly used funds donated to his Friends of Brandon Johnson campaign fund by political supporters to cover the cost of his makeup and hair appointments, the Chicago Sun Times reported.
The outlet cited election board records, which revealed that the progressive mayor spent more than $30,000 on personal grooming in the past year. Almost all the money paid makeup artist and self-described "skincare enthusiast" Denise Milloy’s Makeup Majic, which she operates out of a home on the South Side. Milloy received more than 30 payments from Johnson between 2023 and 2024, according to the Sun Times.
The payments in the expenditure report were listed as "Candidate makeup for TV," "Candidate makeup for debate" or "Candidate makeup" prior to the 2023 election.
After the progressive mayor took office, the payments to the makeup artist were filed under "event expenses," the newspaper reported.
When reached for comment, Milloy told the Sun Times she’s "not at liberty" to discuss her work as it pertains to Johnson’s campaign.
A campaign spokesperson for Johnson previously touted how a large amount of donations came from "working class people" and labor unions, the Sun Times recalled.

He didn’t want to be confused for Manaj.
He must have an expensive hair stylist, yet he still manages to look very ordinary.

I’ll say what many people may be asking: Is or was Denise Milloy more than just a makeup artist for Mr Johnson??
Still homely in a non descript way.
Still with a pointed head.
What a vain little metrosexual.
He is really a woman.
“legal expenses”?
gotta be careful about that nowadays,
oh wait, (D), never mind
My monthly expenditure for hair and makeup:
Haircut: $20.00
Makeup: $0.00
Total: $20.00
I must be doing something wrong.
You are. You're using your own money.
$2 grand a MONTH? That could feed a lot of people.
He sure didn’t get any value for that wasteful spending. Some man of the people.
I spend $25 every five weeks (was $15 not very long ago, too).
Da King needs to be primped and pasted up just like a queen.
He wants to make sure he is prettier than Lori Lightfoot.
Should have donated it as a goodwill going away present to Lori Lightfoot. LOL
“Man”?
MY FIRST THOUGHT, ALSO.
I cut my own hair & I wear NO makeup.
ZERO spent.
That’s what Ponzi scheme communists do. Steal from the people and life the high life.
