"So a regular looking woman, with minimal or no makeup, no professional hairdresser or makeup artist going over her before gong on camera, etc is going to look very different from the usual ones."

I for one prefer the regular look. I see the girls all made up and they look plastic and so unnatural, like animated manikins to me. I feel sorry for them, being hoodwinked into buying tons of stuff they don't need trying to look like someone they are not.
I wonder about the health repercussions they may "face" in their futures because of all the pounds of cosmetics they plaster on top of their skin.
See, you "regular" Gals are appreciated more than you know! Like Apple pie and Independence Day, all American!

To me real beauty is in the expression - the faxe is the index of the mind.
If Mrs.Obola had been a nice human being, despite her lack of beauty, she could have been pleasant to look at.
Once as a teenager I was walking on some famous NYC street (i hardly ever visited NYC) and saw a model - about 5’10”, perfectly made up and dressed, would be considered “beautiful”, but her eyes were cold, hard, miserable. To me she looked scary and hideous.
The real beauty in anyone, man or woman, comes from the soul inside, Cruelty, evil, selfishness etc - sooner or later leave their marks on the face! And if someone is blessed with both - FLOTUS!!!
