She’s America’s top “model.”

Michelle Obama is the nation’s first first lady to add a full-time makeup artist to her traveling entourage, according to stylists who have worked with presidential wives over the past 16 years.

Makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, helped create Obama’s signature look on her inaugural trip to Europe last week.

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.

“No other first ladies have consistently traveled with a makeup artist,” said hairdresser Bernard Portelli, who styled Hillary Rodham Clinton’s blond mane in 1993 and tracks trends in first-lady style.

“It took Laura Bush four years to finally look good. It’s taken Michelle Obama two months. She wears fake eyelashes that are beautiful. She can’t do those herself.”

Style watchers suspect that Grimes-Miles is behind Obama’s most prominent beauty reinvention: Her eyebrows. After the first lady drew criticism for looking angry, her high-arched eyebrows were reshaped with a softer arc that gave her a friendlier appearance.

Grimes-Miles has described Obama’s makeup as “not an avant-garde look . . . We want her to [look] very natural and polished.”

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.

The Obamas privately paid for the travel expenses of the styling team, according to a spokeswoman for the first lady. But the high-profile jobs don’t pay much, say former White House stylists.

“You do it because you know you will have some prestige and you will be able to make money later,” Portelli said.

Wright, a former LA-based stylist for Frederic Fekkai, relocated to the capital for his position in January. But he wasn’t the first lady’s first choice.

Michael “Rahni” Flowers, 54, who has tamed Mrs. Obama’s locks since she was 18, said he couldn’t relocate from Chicago. “I thought it was better to help train someone to manage her in DC,” Flowers told The Post.

Ok Fashion and Style, and Pop culture Gurus: What women and men’s styles (hair, makeup, fashion, shoes, bags, etc.) and trends are completely out of fashion, what is retro and cool, what is timeless/classic, what is trendy for Fall 2008, and what do you forecast for Spring 2009?
I’m going to start:
IN : natural, healthy hair, individualized cuts
OUT: Emo Hair, forced overstyled hair, too much heat
IN: recycling, Hybrid Cars, reusable grocery bags, clean power
OUT: Gas guzzlers, H2s (they were ugly anyway), Escalades
IN: Obama (even if you don’t plan to vote for him, he IS very
popular with the news media)
OUT: Bush (eh, soooo 2000)
IN: the Bob (timeless, the roaring 20s anyone?)
OUT: the mullet (not back yet – be patient…give it a few more years)
IN: Hoverboards (I wish)
OUT: being bored (you know you watch you tube all day at work…there’s no excuse for boredom)
IN :Youtube and Facebook
OUT: Myspace
IN: Getting a Life
OUT: “WOW” (You know who you are. Come on, those graphics are terrible.)
IN: Barbie (yeah we like Bratz, but come on, this babe is timeless)
OUT: Beanie Babies (well, my dog still likes them to chew on)
IN: Eating at home or going out for Hot Wings!
OUT: Overpriced chain restaurants
IN: Family owned coffee houses or making stuff at home
OUT: Starbucks and $5 coffee (who has the money for that after buying gas)
IN: Staycations (lol)
OUT: Vacations?
IN: Superhero Action Flicks (Batman, Indy, Transformers, etc. retro?)
OUT: Natural Disaster Movies (Wanna rent Dante’s Peak on VHS?)
IN: Not watching those horrible reality talent shows
OUT: American Idol
IN: Thrift stores and Urban Outfitters
OUT: bling, designer junk, and $350 jeans
IN: Tote bags
OUT: $1500 designer bags. (If you’re going to spend that much, go buy a computer)
IN: Getting out of debt
OUT: Credit cards
IN: Taking trains and carpooling
OUT: Commuting really far
IN: Classic Rock (classic), 80s music (retro), 90s music (retro)
OUT: Emo (what IS it anyway?), and just about anything they play on the radio right now
IN: Jeans that look good on your unique body.
OUT: Acid wash jeans (no, not back yet), Skinny, skin-tight tapered jeans (These are my pet peeve. Sorry, they don’t look good on anyone except the one genetically engineered and photo-shopped model in the advertisement. You can weigh 95 lbs and they will look bad. They look awful on guys, too.)
IN: Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, RC Cola etc.
OUT: Burple (you know you remember that), Tab, Squirt, Crystal Pepsi, Slice, New Coke…ok maybe those are retro…how about DECAF sodas…now those are definitely OUT
Ok, that was fun…you get the point.
Most creative wins!

In our image-conscious society, it is often said that a person’s image and appearance is a vital component of who he or she is. That’s why you see a countless number of young starlets gracing magazine covers with the perfect glossy hairstyles, glowing skin and radiant make-up. Many people dream of working in the beauty industry, where there is a myriad of career choices to select from. Are you interested in applying make-up on models before a televised fashion show in Paris? Do you dream of eventually owning your own salon? Would you like to develop your own personal cosmetic line? You can get there with the right career training in cosmetology.

If you’re fascinated with beauty, make-up, cosmetics, beauty treatments, hair color and hair styling, then you are the perfect candidate for a cosmetology school education.

The field of cosmetology is exciting. New hair styling products, innovative make-up lines and beauty improvement techniques are developing all the time. Make-up artists like Bobbi Brown, Jill Dempsey and Mally Roncal are celebrities in their own right, and many ambitious cosmetic specialists even go on to create their own product lines. Graduates with an education in cosmetology are often given the opportunity to travel the world and work with high-profile clients.

The typical degree training program in cosmetology is made up of a variety of components. Many schools, like the McCann School of Business and Technology, offer degree certification programs that consist of specialized courses and hands-on classes. This training teaches students the many areas that make up the cosmetology field.

Make-up application and face manipulation – Students take courses that address the many different types of make-up and stage cosmetics, how they are applied and what types of effects they have. They become familiar with cosmetic application techniques and tools. Students closely study the dynamics of the human face, its features and how physical characteristics can be altered and manipulated with shading, shadowing, contouring and accenting. They will also study stage lighting and its effects on make-up application.

Hair color, styling and cutting – Students are taught about the dynamics of hair color, cut and style. They participate in hands-on training classes that allow them to work with live voluntary hair models. Hair expert classes focus on teaching students about the various head shapes that exist and which hair cuts best fit them. Students will also study which hair colors strongly complement which complexions and skin coloring.

The scientific/art concepts that apply to cosmetology. Beauty and art are closely related. Students will participate in art theory courses that look at cosmetology from a scientific and artistic point of view.

If you love cosmetics and the beauty industry, then a career as a cosmetologist may be the right choice for you.
