It's her Blue Steel.

Also, she does not look happy. Like, at all. That's what's so weird about this photo.

Odd choice of background. Makes her look like she's got a web behind her.

I don't think she looks unhappy. Just a typical cover model expression.

I think this is contouring, not blush.

I feel like I've watched enough House of Cards to recognize that as the West Wing.

I didn't realize contouring was supposed to be this apparent, or blush colored. In the youtube videos I've seen, the contour color is a darker skin-tone color.

She's right, you're wrong. Blush should not be applied to the high portions of the cheeks. It gives a much better look if a darker shade is applied to the hollows under the cheekbones.

This is her Wikipedia photo. This is how she really looks. Still beautiful, but with the obvious features of a 40-something person.

Also confused with the flight attendant outfit.

I just thank God it's not that awful Hillary in her ugly Kim Jong Un jackets. Blech!!

Agreed.

I actually like that it's not traditional. She looks like she intends to do something, so maybe that's what people will remember about her even if she doesn't.

She's beautiful, but the fake air is fitting.

Has she ever even been to the WH? Lol.

I think her inaugural look was more First Lady-ish.

Now I want to go see the other official First Lady portraits to compare.

Too much airbrushing and I find it strange not to be smiling.
