not interested in being pretty

This from Zero K:

Here we are, the woman smart, determined, not detached so much as measuring every occasion, including this one, brown hair swept back, a face that is not interested in being pretty, and this gives her a quality I can't quite name, a kind of undividedness. 

I wonder if DeLillo knows, is aware of, what it costs to be uninterested in being pretty.
