I have noticed a trend of Somali, models, MUA’s and fashionistas. I personally believe that this sort of materialism is promoted under the guise of female empowerment or inclusion of minority woman. I hardly see girls leave home without makeup and I feel as though companies are taking advantage of the hungry minorities market. Not only that, some girls I know are only concerned about worldly matters. It seems the only talk I hear is mehr, men and cosmetics.The same thing can be applied to men, I’m not biased I’m merely presenting some constructive criticism. There’s a lack of intellectual discussions, if we exclude political talk.

I think we need more useful YouTube content than challenges and pranks. More nerdy content and representation of people into books, arts etc...

These women are trying to
do one or more of the following:

- seek validation
- gain viewership
- become an 'influencer' and get freebees and endorsements for product promos.
- use youtube as a launching pad to gain contacts and establish a business.

Also talking about aesthetics and relationships is probably what their audience wants.

It depends really, women in the uk and america leech off the decadent culture and start applying makeup all the time but in places where it's not that prevalent e.g Turkey, north africa some european countries they don't do that.

Yes there are. I even heard of Somali girls that are authors, I will link them. Anyways, you must have noticed that Somali girls are more enrolled into Humanities than boys which requires a lot of reading.

Hmmm I agree. But another epidemic of diana abusing exists in those places.

There are levels to makeup.

You have the no-makeup makeup look (think of Meghan Markle) and you also have the instagram baddie look.

Personally, I wear makeup, but only to enhance what I've got. It gives me a more polished look. Of course I could leave the house with it, but I chose not to.

But you can have it all. You can have an interest in makeup, fashion etc, while also being interested in literature, politics and/or other intellectual endeavours.

But I do agree, I think that many are hopping on the MUA trend so that they can get fame, money etc. It is definitely becoming oversaturated and redundant.
