Emmanuel Macron has spent a jaw-dropping amount on makeup since becoming France's president

Updated

Want to look flawless like French president Emmanuel Macron? All you need is around $30,000 to spend on makeup for three months.

According to Politico, Macron's personal makeup artist (yes, really) recently filed two claims for payment -- one for €10,000 (around $12,000) and another for €16,000 (around $19,000). The claims only cover his first three months in office, which means the politician has been dropping around $10,000 a month to make sure he looks perfect for every public appearance.

While there are no details on the exact products he uses, we're sure that Estée Lauder's Crème de la Mer, which costs a whopping $127 per ounce, is part of his routine.

To put it in perspective, Kim Kardashian's beauty routine is only $2,000 -- with some of her most expensive products being the $455 Guerlain Orchidée Impériale The Rich Cream moisturizer, as well as an at-home Quasar MD Plus LED light therapy machine that you can purchase for yourself if you have an extra $755 laying around.

Shockingly, Macron's pricey makeup routine doesn't measure up to the routine of former French president François Hollande, who spent €30,000 (around $36,000) per quarter on makeup and €9,895 (around $11,000) a month for his hairdresser.

We're sure that Macron is taking some tips in both the makeup and hair department from his fashionable wife Brigitte. The 64-year-old French beauty has risen to fame as one of the most stylish women in the world. Just earlier this week, she commanded attention in a thigh-skimming frock while in Salzburg.
