Charisma is a personality trait, a way of communicating in an open, empathetic and persuasive manner, inspiring public speakers, cult leaders, or certain actors would have much charisma without needing to be great looking.
There was a play by mail game called LEGENDS which used charisma in a different way. Similar scores attracted. So a half orc with 3 cha would be able to recruit others with low charisma but be less sucessful with higher scores, and high scoring elves had trouble recruiting low scoring dwarves.
Really good looks could serve as a negative modifier in that people can react negatively to an overly 'pretty' person ("She's got no brains"). Just as they do to a really mean mutha. Good looks would be a positive only if they helped the confidence and approachability of an individual.
Talking sense am I? Clarity have I attained? Worried I am.... Like Yoda I sound....
