> People's eyes are so used to Instagram people that they think less attractive people are less healthy

Instagram has little to do with that; the two-way association between perceived health and attractiveness is deeply ingrained (the exact extent to which it is a very ancient feature of culture vs. an evolved biological trait independent of culture, I don't know, but it's one or both of those things.)

See a professional makeup artist and see how he can improve your attractivness without improving your health.

Go to interviews/dates/event with and without professional makeup and compare your success rate.
