I don't wear makeup so I don't pay attention to models like that, lol. First one I remember is Queen Latifah, lol.
I expect that Eva RAISED CG's popularity but Naima didn't. Eva is bubblier than Naima. Nicole (from what they showed) was more bubbly than Naima and Nik, more on par with Eva. If that makes sense.
I still don't agree with the decision, but most times I never do.
