We have another “first” from the Obamas. Michelle Obama has become the nation’s first lady to hire a full time make-up artist.

Michelle Obama’s new glam comes courtesy of Ingrid Grimes-Miles, a 49-year-old make-up artist she met in Chicago six years ago. According to the New York Post, Grimes-Miles, who has been working with the first lady for six years, now splits her time between DC and Chicago, where she dolls up morning-news anchors for WGN TV.

Last week, Grimes-Miles joined “First Hairstylist” Johnny Wright, 31, aboard Air Force One as official guests of the president, during their six-day trip across Europe.

Personally, I liked the old simple Michelle, she’s now starting to look like a glamour girl with way too much make-up.
