According to
the report, Macron’s personal makeup artist put in two claims for payment, one
for €10,000 and another for €16,000, for doing his makeup during his travels
and ahead of press conferences.
In response
to the article, the Elysée Palace said, 'we called in a contractor as a matter
of urgency. Spending on makeup would be “significantly reduced” in future'.
The magazine
also reported that the amount spent is less than what Macron’s predecessors
spent on makeup during the same 3-month period. His predecessor, François
Hollande, spent €30,000 per quarter on makeup, including the salary of a makeup
artist. In addition, Hollande paid his hairdresser a gross salary of €9,895 a
month.
Nicolas
Sarkozy spent slightly less on his makeup than Macron €8,000 a month. The news comes as Macron’s popularity is
falling, according to opinion polls. Only 37 percent of voters approve of the
job Macron is doing.
