So I’ve had my Reddit account for almost a decade now. In no way do I think MUA has ever been a glowing, perfect oasis for makeup lovers but I swear the last couple years almost every post that requests CC ends up being everyone saying OP is beautiful and should wear less makeup. It just feels so.. conservative?

I agree fundamentally that nobody needs makeup, but why on earth is the general vibe of the subreddit “everyone should wear the bare minimum, perhaps a muted red lip or a neutral, barely there smokey eye during special events.”

Oh, and god forbid anyone asks how to do an alt-style makeup look, the whole comment section is just thinly veiled catty comments about how sickly or overdone the desired look is 😭
