There’s a subreddit called Bad MakeUp Artists, and the photos people post in there have an “Instagram vs. Reality” vibe to them. In the sense that it’s hard to imagine a person applying that much foundation or eye shadow, thinking ‘Yeah, this is going to look great!’ and another one glancing at the mirror and saying ‘I can’t wait to go out like this.’ Maybe if it was for some kind of skit but that’s about it. However, here they are, attending weddings and filming YouTube videos with enough layers on their face to withstand even Siberian winters. I really hope some of these looks were meant as jokes. Or at least that they were cleaned off right away.
