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 wants to make sure he is prettier than Lori Lightfoot.”
Unless he was disfigured in a fire, how much can that cost?
Anyway, it was his campaign’s money.

2500 a month for hair and makeup....for a dude? My budget for that stuff hovers around 50 a month for shampoo and haircuts.
Makes your hair looked gloomified.
You can put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a pig.
