Usha Vance has made her mark among the MAGA brigade and that is not only because she comes from a vastly different background than the rest of the Republications but also because of the choices she makes regarding presenting herself in public. Her usage of minimal makeup and no dye on her hair makes her stand out among the leading Republican ladies and helps her to make a statement with her personality.
Since Usha Vance uses less makeup, it is only natural that her no makeup look is not vastly different from what she generally looks with some touchups. She does not use high volumes of foundations and neither her eyelashes seem fake and that is what when she is clicked without anything on her face, she looks natural and beautiful. She even sometimes looks less made up then her husband especially if the rumors about JD Vance using eyeliners are to be trusted.
In one of JD Vance’s X posts back in 2022, he had uploaded a picture of Usha with their infant daughter. Usha was seen to be wearing no makeup in that picture and despite that, she looked stunning. There is no stark difference between her with and without makeup pictures because even on days she puts on makeup, the amount remains minimal.
Usha never goes over-the-top with her makeup and netizens have mostly loved her for the same. Journalist Javeria Siddique had praised Usha highly on X in January 2025, saying, “One thing I admire about Usha Vance is her self-acceptance and confidence in her natural beauty, embracing her grey hair and complexion without feeling the need for cosmetic enhancements.” Another user did support this sentiment but added some opinions of their own, saying, “ just dye her hair though, it just makes her look much older than she really is. I thought she was in her late 40’s [sic] but she’s only 39!”

However, a number of users mentioned how women might be more comfortable with naturally ageing hair than the need to constantly touch them up. One user wrote, “For some younger women, it’s just easier to embrace the gray instead of going for touch ups every two to three weeks.”

Going by Vance’s fashion choices, it does not seem that she would be agreeing with her critics about dying her hair to look younger. She is clearly comfortable with how she looks and that adds to her confident personality. She knows how to present herself and she does not depend on makeup items to make a statement.
Besides her makeup choices, Usha Vance also knows how to hold on to her roots and decisions as is evident from the fact that she has significantly influenced JD Vance’s diet. JD Vance, who had grown up on a strictly non-vegetarian diet has now loves staple Indian vegetarian dishes. This change in food habit is clearly an influence of Usha, who is a vegetarian and has not let US change her food habits or forget her roots.
