Emmanuel Macron Has Spent $30,000 On Makeup In First Three Months As President

25 August 2017

Emmanuel Macron may have been president of France for just three months, but he’s already managed to spend €26,000 (£24,000 or $30,000) on makeup.

The sums were claimed by a personal makeup artist who was hired to beautify Macron as “a matter of urgency,” according to a report in France’s Le Point magazine cited by other French media.

The bill came in two parts, one for €10,000 and another for €16,000, the reports said.

A spokesman for Macron said the makeup expenditure was so high because of “press conferences and foreign travel” where the makeup artist had to travel with the president, according to France Info news.

It also cost a lot because the contractor was called in “as a matter of urgency.”

Also according to Dutch NOS TV today, French president Macron during the past three months spent 26,000 euros on his makeup artist Natacha M. smearing make-up on his face.

That is slightly more than his predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy, who paid his makeup artist 8,000 euros a month.
