AOC Spent $2,000 in Campaign Funds to Hire Celebrity Makeup Artist

BREITBART

“Tax the Rich” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent more than $2000 in campaign funds for a celebrity makeup artist, despite once boasting about doing her own makeup in an Instagram tutorial.

That’s the conclusion of a New York Post exclusive examination of Federal Election Records that revealed the congresswoman’s  “campaign event makeup services” were provided by the New York and Los Angeles-based The Only Agency, whose clients include rapper Bad Bunny and super model Bella Hadid.

According to the Post, which also published its report in its California edition:

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.

The posh agency’s prices start at $600 a pop for hair and $600 for makeup.

The full-service stylist agency, which  offers “artists” specializing in photography, ”grooming,” “creative direction” also has offices in London and Nashville.

“An honor to glam AOC for the ‘New York is Not for Sale’ rally at Forest Hills Stadium — an unforgettable moment watching her light up the stage with conviction, courage, and heart,” wrote her Only Agency makeup artist Jocelyn Biga on Instagram, along with photos of AOC’s airbrushed look.

“Sporting a smokey brown eye, subtle red lip and perfectly coiffed eyebrows, AOC drew massive applause as she talked about New York City being built by Irish people fleeing famine, Italians escaping fascism, Jews seeking shelter after the Holocaust and blacks escaping Jim Crow laws,” the Post sniped in its Saturday exclusive.

The tabloid was unable to pin down what other occasions Ocasio-Cortez used the elite agency’s services.

In a “beauty secrets” tutorial she did five years ago for Vogue and posted on social media as a “guide to her signature red lip,” the New York congresswoman complained it was “so hard” as a young woman to be treated seriously in congress.

“There’s this really false idea that if you care about makeup or if your interests are in beauty and fashion, that that’s somehow frivolous,” she said.
