Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to look good while his city burns around him.
According to election board records, Johnson spent $30,000 on hair and makeup during his first year in office.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the majority of the money went to makeup artist and self-described “skincare enthusiast” Denise Milloy’s Makeup Majic. The business is based in a home on the city’s South Side, and records show that more than 30 payments were reported to her in 2023 and 2024.
While a campaign spokesman asserted that “Hair and makeup services are commonplace among high-ranking public officials,” Johnson appears to spend more than other elected officials.
