    This document contains summaries of two research articles on the relationship between cosmetic usage and self-esteem. The first study found a positive correlation between makeup usage and physical self-esteem, indicating those with lower self-esteem wore more makeup. The second study compared the effect of professionally-applied makeup versus natural appearance on attractiveness ratings, finding makeup had a larger effect than self-applied but individual facial differences had a greater impact on perceived attractiveness overall.

    Synthesized Literature Review:


    This study aims to examine the relationship between makeup usage and self-esteem.
    Researchers predicted that subjects who had lower self-esteem would use more makeup more
    frequently. To investigate this hypothesis subjects completed a self-esteem questionnaire
    followed by a makeup questionnaire. While subjects were completing the questionnaires
    researchers categorized the level of makeup the subjects were wearing. The data collected
    showed a positive correlation between the subjects’ report of makeup that they were currently
    wearing and the amount of makeup the researchers rated them as wearing. The results also
    showed a positive correlation between the makeup that the subjects were currently wearing and
    the level of physical self-esteem. This indicated that subjects with lower self-esteem were likely
    to be wearing more makeup. There was no correlation between social self-esteem and makeup
    usage, nor was there a correlation between other categories of makeup usage and self-esteem.
    This suggests that the cause-effect relationship between makeup and self-esteem cannot be
    determined and future research should be manipulated to determine this relationship.

    Sizes of Professionally-Applied Cosmetics and Identity

    sizes of professionally-applied cosmetics and identity. PloS one, 11(10), e0164218.
    https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0164218

    Synthesized Literature Review:


    In Western societies, women are more likely to engage in appearance modification,
    especially through the use of facial cosmetics. Previous research has hinted that the effect is not
    large, especially when compared to the variation in attractiveness observed between individuals
    due to differences in identity. In order to build a fuller understanding of how cosmetics and
    identity affect attractiveness, here we examine how professionally-applied cosmetics alter
    attractiveness and compare this effect with the variation in attractiveness observed between
    individuals. Study 2 replicated the results of the first study with a sample of 45 supermodels,
    with the aim of examining the effect of cosmetics in a sample of faces with low variation in
    attractiveness between individuals. Overall, we show that professionally-applied cosmetics
    produce a larger effect than self-applied cosmetics. However, the effect of individual differences
    in facial appearance is ultimately more important in perceptions of attractiveness.
