Putting on makeup is easier than losing weight. Plus, it's instant gratification, vs. the delayed gratification of getting in shape .

I think the instant gratification is the key here. Despite what they claim, nearly all of them want to be normal but they just don't have the discipline to watch what they eat for several months before they really see a payoff. Makeup gives a payoff in just a few minutes.

Its your classic 80-20 rule. 80% of your attractiveness comes from your facial features and physical fitness, maybe 20% (at most) from your hair, clothing, make up. Fats ignore the 80% and focus on the 20% because its easier and they're lazy. But say, best case scenario, the most perfect hair, makeup and outfit there ever was, you still score 20/100. That is not a passing grade in anyone's book. Nobody wants to fuck a 2/10.

contouring isn't meant to emphasize what's already there, it's meant to create illusions. i don't know any thin women who bother with contouring unless they have the dreaded bobblehead.

Eff your beauty standards!! Except for conventional standards for hair, makeup and clothing. Oh, and don't forget to photoshop out cellulite and that extra roll on your FUPA. Oooh and let's perk up your tits a la Tess Monster. But other than that fuck you.

This is the point. They know being obese is unattractive. They insist obesity is attractive. They know they must renounce natural instincts for attractiveness, but use cosmetics to adhere to them.
Observing this behavior, and that it's not isolated, but endemic and correlated so closely with morbid obesity, one can only conclude that the obese are mentally deranged.

Pretty much.
....aaaaaand you've also just described 2/3 of the females an american will see on an average day spent around other people.
I'd also say males, but they've got other, equally self-inflicted issues.
