Sec. Pete Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon, per CBS News

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth-orders-makeup-studio-installed-pentagon/

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently ordered modifications to a room next to the Pentagon press briefing room to retrofit it with a makeup studio that can be used to prepare for television appearances, multiple sources told CBS News.

The price tag for the project was several thousand dollars, according to two of the sources, at a time when the administration is searching for cost-cutting measures.
. . .

An in-house construction crew renovated the adjacent green room earlier this year. The room previously had minimal furnishings — a table with chairs, a TV, photos of former defense secretaries and a mirror on the back of the door, one source said.

The table was removed and a new chair and large mirror with makeup lighting was installed, another source said.

Given that Hegseth's sole and only qualification for being Defense Secretary is that he is a pretty face, this addition makes sense.
