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.

The women who work in Sephora don't know what they're doing. Try Blue Mercury

Some of them do, one of them don’t. The important part though is that the store needs to carry makeup lines that offer a range of options that suit the PP’s skin tones. Do you have any suggestions of brands that they carry that might work?

She didn't brush her hair? What? You're talking nutty.

NP. I think she means that Usha could have had a fresh cut and blowout before the RNC speech. I realize she didn’t have much advance notice. But if I knew I was going on camera in 3 days (she had that much time) I would have found a salon in Milwaukee. Or borrowed a hair stylist from the Trump ladies.

What do people mean when they say such things? You are going to call Melanie, Ivanka, or Kim G and ask to “borrow” their stylists? That’s a pretty weird convo.

That’s: SOME of them don’t. (Sorry. Rushing.)

I’m the PP who recommended Bobbi brown and Fenty. One other thing - salespeople often recommend shades that are too dark. For a perfect match for my medium brown skin with golden undertones , the foundation actually looks a little lighter - but disappears when blended in. I’m also 50 and am sorry you had such a bad experience.

They don't mean calling directly. RNC staff would likely "broker" these conversations between JD's staff and Melania's.

At the very least, a quick google shows me there is a drybar in Milwaukee, a mile from the venue for the convention. That would've been better than nothing. Her hair was constantly falling into her eyes during her speech, and so every few words her hand would go across her face to tuck it back.

Jealously is not a good look.

Neither is that oatmeal travel dress with the well loved espadrilles!

You really need to move on. You’re the only person who is still clutching your pearls over that.

No bc I still think that outfit was heinous and that poster is not me.

Cut it with the jealousy. So incredibly immature. Yes I am jealous of a woman who can't seem to figure out how to dress herself while stumping for her election denier husband.

Maybe you’re not the target audience that she’s dressing to appeal to PP. DP

It’s an interesting question. How should a WOC with Ivy League degrees dress to be appealing / neutral to a MAGA crowd? I’ve no idea, but I’m guessing that it might not be the same styles that DCUM would tend to applaud.

It’s not just MAGA. I don’t like the typical MAGA look of bleached hair and heavy Botox but I also don’t think Usha looked great either.

People here are acting like if you think Usha looked bad you must want to see all women as sex dolls and that’s just not the case.

Im South Asian and completely with you…it is delulu. A quick image search will show you photos of Shay Mitchell, Zendaya, Tessa Thompson, Priyanka Chopra, Mindy Kaling are examples with wonderfully understated makeup looks for WOC that are a far cry from “sex doll”.

Also let us not forget about someone who was also a working high profile attorney, mother of two, and Harvard-educated…Michelle Obama. She was/is a fashion icon and I think if she was able to do that, Usha can manage to toss out those heinous flats.

Actually, I was wondering if she might be trying to deliberately look low key: not too wealthy, not too flashy — whatever she and her advisers felt might seem relatable to the audience. I personally think she looked ok, although as I said in an earlier comment, I’d have added some jewelry to her outfit.

Her hair has no discernable style or cut, meaning not cut intentionally into layers or blunt ends, or anything, so while beautiful and think and shiny, it doesn't know what to do with itself when not pulled up--she should have worn an updo of some sort.

How do you know she didn't go to Drybar, or have one of the stylists there tend to her hair? Why are you so concerned? My hair is similar to hers and often looks just like that after a blowout.

Both of you should ask for our money back if that's what it looks like post-blow out.

As far as Drybar goes: they are a national chain whose product is a selection of several different blowouts styles. NONE of them look like Ushas hair so its safe to say she didn’t go there. I would also ask for a refund if my “blowout” looked like hers.

If she had worn an updo, you would have complained that she should have worn it down.

Not necessary - I love the way it looks. But thanks!
