I'm still trying to figure out why so many trad cats marry non Christian?

Slim Pickens!  In my old chapel I had a choice of three men, one was 32 years my senior and unemployed.  The other two were closer in age but both physically and mentally challenged.  That's why I'm a spinster.

When I came back to the Church at 40, all I did was stay focused on learning the faith and doing God's will in everything. As far as marriage, the thought didn't come into my mind, I was too busy learning the faith. My mother told me I'd never meet anyone living like I was living my life; work, exercise, studying the faith, and going to a small chapel with no young girls. I told her that I was doing my job, and that I'd let God sort out the rest. One day my future wife showed up, a trad Catholic.  

Do your job and let God sort out the rest.  Trust in Him and do not compromise.

More than even security, the deepest need people have, especially children growing up, is to feel loved and wanted.  And girls have the need more than boys.  What do you think it would do to a girl to be constantly told she's repulsive?  At some point, it would be easy for her to question whether anyone, including God, could love someone like her.
I doubt there are literally multiple people telling any young lady that she's repulsive. There might be an incident from a particularly rude individual, but most likely it's only HER telling herself that she needs to look differently.

I agree with your premise that girls especially need to feel loved and wanted, but would not be so quick to concede that a little makeup is what will best address those needs.

You doubt wrong.  Perhaps your daughters don't interact as much with other girls since you're out on a relatively-remote property.  Kids are more vicious than ever these days.
