WTH? Why should she wear her mom’s sari? How incredibly absurd. Not to mention, I highly doubt an academic such as her mother even wears a sari.

??? Why wouldn’t an academic wear a sari?

The point is, why should Usha Vance wear a sari, as the PP so stupidly suggested.

Yes, that would just bring attention to her heritage and skin color which would not go over well with MAGA.

Your posts are ridiculous. No one cares that she is Indian American. Just trolls on both the right and the left.

She looked great.

So which is it?

No one cares. Or that "trolls" who seem to make up a strong segment of the GOP, care that she's 1) not white 2) of Indian descent 3) not Christian.

Small children and two careers run us regular folks ragged.

Add in a Senate seat and near constant travel, fundraising, campaigning and living a life in the public eye and that will take a toll.

Enough with this “sell your souls” stuff other posters are saying. So juvenile.

lots of other people in the public eye know to brush their hair and wear some lipstick. they know this because they’re in the public eye.

Her hair was certainly brushed and styled - you just didn’t “approve” of how it was styled. Good thing she’s her own person and doesn’t consult randos about how she should look.

The Trump women are all styled for public appearances, yet that never stops people like you from criticizing their fashions.

How on earth was her hair "brushed and styled"?! Are we talking about the same person? I'm not saying she needed some Becky Blowout but could she AT LEAST have used a bobby pin to keep her hair out of her eyes which making a speech to an audience of thousands, broadcast on national television? Feel free to respond with some politicized remark/~aCkShUALLY her hair iS BEAUTIFUL buT yeR JuSt JeaLous~!"

What is this? She was actually working up until the day the VP selection was announced, at an extremely demanding job, and then coming home to 3 kids. That's where her thoughts were. She doesn't have to work, but the fact that she chose the job she chose makes me think that she has some degree of distance from JDs life. I would absolutely believe that this has been a whirlwind for her and it hasn't had that much time to sink in.

Blue and red dresses where great. Last day of the convention she has a "WTF have I gotten myself into" look on her face the entire time.

She is a seasoned professional and a politician's wife - she should ALREADY have had the nice dresses and nice shoes and makeup routine established. She's not some schlumpy stay at home who wears yoga pants and her hair in a messy bun all day!

You are confusing the wardrobe of litigator and someone who was literally on the biggest stage last week. I don’t understand why she would have a makeup routine that included stage lights.

THE WARDROBE OF A SENATOR'S WIFE. It's not like she hasn't been on a stage with him before.

She obviously does have the wardrobe of a senator’s wife. Have you heard a peep about her wardrobe until this week?

I find nothing wrong with her dresses, I do think she could have done a better job with her makeup, but I am also South Asian and also struggle with dark under eyes.

I’m a dark skinned South Asian too but more than 10 years older than Usha. I have always foundation matching pretty difficult, even now with the brands founded by Indians. It seems like there are South Asians posting who don’t have these issues. I’m curious if they just have a very different tone or whether they have found some brand I don’t know about.

I’m black, not South Asian, but what I have noticed with my SE Asian friends is that sometimes the foundations that people suggest for them have the wrong undertone. If you have warm, golden undertones, I highly recommend Bobbi Brown foundations; people think I have amazing skin and don’t wear makeup, but I wear a light liquid Bobbi brown foundation daily. I also use her foundation sticks in a shade or two lighter than my normal color as a concealer for dark spots and the under eye area. May be worth a try. You also might want to try Fenty as it comes in a lot of shades for medium to dark skin tones with different undertones. Good luck!

Thank you to this poster above and to all those who have offered tips. I have fallen down the internet rabbit hole trying to figure out my undertone and looking at Chanel products which honestly I had always assumed would not be for me. I have been told I have both red and yellow tones at various points of the year, which might explain some of my trouble. Thanks again!

Instead of trying to figure it out yourself, take a day when you have some time and let some make up artists make suggestions. Maybe start at a Sephora, since they have a range of makeup lines including Fenty Beauty — as I co-signed earlier. Ask a few different muas for suggestions, since different people have experience with different lines, and different levels of experience with color matching. Also — when you think you’ve found a good match, borrow a mirror and step outside to see how you like it in natural light.
I’m also a Black woman, and if I were going to wear foundation regularly, I’d probably need 2different shades for summer and winter. As it is, I usually wear powder — which is easier to match, and a good fit with my oily skin.

I actually have gone to Sephora, Ulta, Macys, and the Bloomingdales counter and the matches are still tough. Last time I was in Sephora (earlier this year), the woman was pretty rude. Most people who come in know what they want and they are not over 50, so it’s frustrating for both sides I think. I kind of shrink in the store after that kind of encounter. But your point about asking for multiple opinions and look at the match in the sunshine is well taken.

And we’re supposed to take fashion advice from someone who thinks she should have stuck a “bobby pin” in her hair?

Did I read the part where I said "AT LEAST"? While I would happy to go into more detail about what she could've done, but that would out me as a someone completely unsympathetic to all the *working women of 3* out there!

There’s truly no need for you to “go into more detail about what she could’ve done.” She looked great as she was.

Are you brown and, if so, which location do you go to? Not all Blue Mercury stores stock a wide color range . . .

Here we are, making assumptions that all immigrants have led a hard life. Do you know anything about her upbringing? Her parents are academics - her dad graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in India and teaches at San Diego State and her mom is a biologist/biochemist who is a provost at UCSD. I highly doubt any part of Usha's life was hard.

DP. I think PP meant the grueling life of 2 big careers and 3 little kids. Not that she had some tough upbringing.

DP. I live the "grueling" life of 2 big careers and little kids. If I knew there was even a 10% chance I'd be on national stage, I would plan ahead and have clothes, a makeup artist, and my hair done. Yeesh!

And yet, you no doubt criticize the Trump women for doing exactly that. Spare us all. Yeesh, indeed.

I criticize them for having hideous taste, not for using stylists. I'm extremely envious of Ivanka for having full time stylists (I assume she does). It's just too bad that she asks them to make her look the way she does.

I’m sorry that happened to you PP! That sounds very discouraging. While I won’t assume that my experience is the norm, I’ve had very positive experiences at the Friendship Heights Sephora — especially when I go at off hours. (So, def not on a Saturday). If you’re up for trying again, well, this time you’ll know what you want. You want help with finding your best match with Fenty Beauty foundation. That’s very specific. If you get someone nice helping you, then you can also ask them if they have any other foundations that they would recommend. After your experience though, I can get why you might not want to give them another try.

FWIW, I’m over 50 too. I’ve found the people at the Chevy Chase Saks to be very helpful — but except for Bobbi Brown, the lines that they have don’t really work for me, so even their best efforts fall short sometimes. Also, I’m not pushing you to buy the Fenty foundation, but I think it’s a good place to start because the range includes different tones for each shade — so I can start with 300, go redder, yellower, lighter, or darker once I have a starting point. Other people may chime in, but that’s the only brand I’m aware of where I can do that. Wishing you luck with this!
