Glam or Scam?
Cosmopolitan India
|September - October 2025
Beauty secrets hide in your subreddits. Proceed with caution.
Doctor hopping (a tenth opinion never hurt), self-intervention (read: Self-medication), a WhatsApp support group titled 'Been There, Done That'... as a former beauty editor, there's not much I haven't tried when it comes to my skin, hair, body and beyond.
More recently in my beauty hack exploration journey, I landed on Reddit. Safe to say, it did not disappoint. Toothpaste—or spit—on your zit was perhaps the most benign advice on offering, and while I haven't gotten the chance to test-drive each and every one, I certainly plan to.
I'll try, regret, and maybe try again. But it's the “why didn’t I think of that?” epiphany I’m living for. After spending the wee hours on the platform, here’s a beauty hack cheat sheet I’ve saved for later. No more gatekeeping. (Disclaimer: At your own risk!).
HEY THERE, ALL-ROUNDER

'Femininity' Is Coming for Your Feminism
In the recording studio, Allie Beth Stuckey sits on a cream sofa, her blonde hair perfectly tousled. She leans into the microphone and speaks. She's chatty and fun, interspersing the serious with the silly and, at first glance, she's just like any other podcaster. In many ways, Stuckey's entire brand is built on being a regular 'girl's girl'. Her hair is impeccably blow-dried, she hates matcha, wears floral dresses, and throws in pop culture references like she's just another millennial on group chat. Her podcast is called Relatable and that's exactly what she wants to be to her listeners. But Stuckey isn't just here to chat. She's here to convert.
