Beauty is not simply a privilege. There are a lot of things that someone can do to enhance their aesthetic appeal. Broadly, this includes exercising, dressing well, and maintaining a positive demeanor. I suspect the author fell for this when he was describing how his "beautiful young (friend) in her mid twenties who runs a makeup and lifestyle instagram account" has been "blessed with naturally perfect, glowing, caramel skin, infectious smile," etc. It sounds like he's not seeing her without makeup because she's great at applying it. Granted, I could be wrong, but it seems unlikely.
