Reddit beauty subs - the cattiest bitches on the internet

While reddit is known for being full of dorky, socially inept guys, there is a corner full of dorky, social inept gals...beauty subs.

There are a lot of subreddits devoted to beauty, but some of the prominent ones are:
r/makeupaddiction, r/sugarfreemua, r/skincareaddiction, r/femalefashionadvice, r/RedditLaqueristas, r/AsianBeauty, r/brownbeauty, r/femalehairadvice, and r/curlyhair

There’s also r/muacirclejerk, which makes fun of r/makeupaddiction, and has a discussion sub r/muacjdiscussion, r/SCAcirclejerk, which makes fun of r/skincareaddiction, and r/ffacj, which makes fun of r/femalefashionadvice.

And r/makeuprehab, which is for people who have a truly obscene amount of makeup.

What makes them bad?

First of all, they all need to let you know that they have a BOYFRIEND that they have SEX with. There are so many posts about blowjob-proof lipsticks.

Also, they are PALE. Women on r/makeupaddiction are convinced they are albinos. They are not.

This lady clearly has a standard white person skin tone.
Another thing PALE women like to do is compare their issues finding makeup to that of darker skinned women, which comes off as very insensitive considering there is so much more makeup meant for pale women than dark ones.

They’re weird about women who don’t wear makeup.

There’s a lot of bizarre comments about how they can’t go outside the house without makeup, how they aren’t brave enough for that, etc., etc. You’d think they’d all been mauled by tigers.

Another thing they like to do is bitch about Glossier, which is a brand that makes fairly sheer makeup products.

There are some women who call themselves ‘bravangelists’ and link r/ABraThatFits in any possible situation and are just really invested in other women’s undergarments.

The other thing is they always have to mention their own boobs. And they always have a small band size with big cups. This is statistically unlikely considering the average American woman is 160 pounds, but whatever.

There's a lot of special snowflakes who hate normal clothes.

And women who are bizarrely formal all the time.

There are also a lot of posts by women who insist on being overdressed constantly and don't understand why it's weird.
There’s also chicks that think once they turn 24 they can't wear anything more than three inches above the ankle ever again.

The moderators also cause a lot of drama. Moderators on both r/skincareaddiction and r/makeupaddiction have tried to monetize the sub.

On r/skincareaddiction, they deleted a free wiki and directed people to their website. They set up an LLC and were trying to make a business out of it. It also seemed like they were recommending brands that were giving them money behind the scenes. They banned a lot of users and the reddit admins had to kick them out. (r/SubredditDrama discussion)

I want to engage with this. However, it seems the OP is bombarded with subreddits and circlejerks, without producing or suggesting an actual lolcow. What, specifically, are we laughing at? And what shall we look to for follow through content?

ETA: Maybe the subject should be narrower?

yeah I agree with you honestly, there's a lot going on
possibly focusing on either just the makeup subs or just the fashion subs?
it was funnier in my head

with the constant drama and the frequent "I'm not like other girls"-ing in reddit's mua community, I think there's definitely potential here. maybe narrow your focus a bit and pick more specific instances of lolcow-ery.
do you think it should be r/makeupaddiction only or other makeup subs also? r/muacjdiscussion has a lot of un-selfaware people

Most women wear very little or minimal makeup day to day, women who slather it on every day spending an hour or more before work/school are usually lolcows. I need to see meltdowns over brows and blowjob lipsticks. I'm a cat for a reason.

as someone who doesn't wear makeup, I don't think wearing a lot of makeup necessarily makes someone a lolcow. making it the pinnacle of your identity like some reddit MUAs do, though? definitely a red flag.

or women who won't let their boyfriends see them without makeup
or the post in r/makeuprehab I want to find where a lady said she had 17 highlighters and she needs all of them

Look at those brows in OP's picture, who else but a lolcow would do that to themselves? Women who spend hundreds every month (and makeup can be very expensive), scream that no one can see them without it, follow wacky trends and sometimes mutilate themselves, all in the belief it makes them look better, more desirable and help them get ahead when in reality it has little, no or even the opposite effect are very likely lolcows. Especially when they're told they don't look good and are wasting their money. I've seen IRL meltdowns when women who look more like circus clowns than Elle cover girls get honest advice. Makeup is their crutch and they freak out when you take it away.

Well she is a juggalette, most women aren't.

There's also a difference between 'women are treated better at work when they wear concealer and mascara' and 'I must have false eyelashes or I'll never get a promotion!' It feels like they have body dysmorphia but for their face, so instead of the skinny girl seeing a fat girl in a mirror, a girl with a normal face sees a hideous one.
