Sarah:
I've been spending a little bit of time this evening looking at beauty
related topics. I noticed most of them aren't tagged with any projects. I
looked at WP:Fashion, which specifically focuses on style/clothing/etc. I have
to admit, I'm a bit surprised there isn't a "Beauty and Personal Care" type of
project, or something...it'd be a great and prime category to get beauty and
make-up junkies (it's a cult!) to participate. The category could even cover
holistic body care, spa treatment, relaxation..and perhaps similar subjects.
Myself:
Early on in WP:FASHION, I suggested some internal subdivisions within the
project into task forces/working groups/whatever we call them, that included
one for beauty:

I suppose if more people had been involved at the time, this might have
actually happened. I somewhat grandiosely believed that the project could draw
in as many editors as WP:MILHIST, which probably has more such subgroups (and
active ones at that) than any other WikiProject (with WP:RAIL being close
behind).
And it still could ...
