Hair and makeup artist Katie Price won a full-time White House gig after short-lived communications director Anthony Scaramucci voiced his approval.

She may be the most lasting legacy of Anthony Scaramuccis 11-day stint in the White House. Professional stylist Katie Price, who previously worked as a hair and makeup artist for Russia Today and CNN, is now a full-time White House official with a desk in the press office and the title of production assistant, which includes her daily duties getting press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, counselor Kellyanne Conway and other White House staffers coiffed and camera-ready.
That position was created for her last fall, thanks, in part, to public praise from the Mooch for Prices briefing room stylings, which include loose curls and dark eye shadow on the women and what appear to be heavy layers of pancake makeup heaped on the men.
In his brief moment in the spotlight, the smooth-talking Long Island financier went on CNN last July to give Price's work his seal of approval. Sarah, if you're watching, I loved the hair and makeup person we had on Friday, Scaramucci said during an interview two days after taking on the role of communications director. So I'd like to continue to use the hair and makeup person.
The White House dropped Scaramucci but kept Price, placing her on the government payroll. Officials declined to reveal her salary, though it will become public next summer as part of an annual release of the salaries of all West Wing staff.

At 35, stop looking like you are stuck in the late 1960's. No amount of glamming with makeup or clothing is going to make a difference with the same hair do day in and day out.
