“…On the opposite, women from group S express a lower anxiety and higher self-esteem and extraversion levels (see Table I for summary). Note that aging was not a discriminating factor of our different make-up functions and had no influence on the volunteer's psychological characteristics [14].…”

“…Moreover, in a previous study whose subject was to explain the reasons that motivate women to make-up, we showed a high implication of specific psychological traits in correlation with different make-up functions. On the overall, we showed that use of facial make-up consists in two functional categories (labelled as 'camouflage' and 'seduction'), and women belonging of these classes differ significantly regarding several psychological traits, defining two distinct psychological profiles (high self-esteem, high assertiveness and low anxiety, vs. low self-esteem, low assertiveness and high anxiety) [14,15]. From this first study, one can wonder whether morphological and facial parameters could underlie such psycho-behavioural structures.…”

Our external appearance plays a key role in everyday life's social interactions. Hence, taking care of our appearance allows us to adjust and protect ourselves, as well as communicate emotional disposition (i.e. sympathy or aversion) and social information (i.e. values, status). However, some discrete body parts or characteristics appear to be more salient than others in contributing to global body image. For example, authors showed that facial attractiveness is one of the best predictors of overall physical attractiveness and represent one of the primary factors influencing global self-esteem. Make-up is therefore ought to play a major influence in these parameters. Moreover, in a previous study whose subject was to explain the reasons that motivate women to make-up, we showed a high implication of specific psychological traits in correlation with two make-up functions (i.e. psycho-behavioural profiles 'Seduction' and 'Camouflage'; group S and group C, respectively). The purpose of this study was to assess the possible relation between our two psycho-behavioural profiles and some morphological parameters know to be involved in facial attraction (i.e. facial asymmetry and skin visual quality). First of all, our study revealed for women from the group C a greater asymmetry of the lower face (i.e. mouth area) that could be related to a possible larger amount of negative emotional experiences. Concerning make-up behaviour, women from the group S more extensively manipulated their relative facial attractiveness, by using a large range of colours, but also through a significantly longer make-up process used to adjust their visual asymmetry and therefore increase their potential of attractiveness. On the overall, our results suggest that make-up is used differentially, according to stable psychological profiles of women, to manipulate specific visual/morphological facial features involved in attractiveness.

“…Furthermore, cosmetic use may also be linked to success in the work place. Beautiful people of both sexes tend to have a higher earning potential than those who are below-average or average looking [5,8,9,12,22,31,32]. This can also be further explained by self-discrepancy and social comparison theories.…”

“…Studies have shown that cosmetic use seems to be linked with ages greater than 18 years [5], female gender [10], nature of career, and also the geographical factors where people are living [11]. Cosmetics use also has psychological implications such as decreasing anxiety and increasing self-confidence [12].…”

Abstract:The trend of cosmetics utilization has increased globally; however, the exact amount of usage is not researched well. Lack of population awareness on proper use of cosmetics, particularly in developing countries, causes a prominent health challenge. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the cosmetics utilization practices in Jigjiga town, Eastern Ethiopia. A community based cross-sectional study, using a semi-structured questionnaire, was used to assess factors associated with cosmetics use. Of the 559 participants, 93% used at least one type of cosmetics in the two weeks prior to the survey. The most commonly used products were body creams and lotions (68%), shampoos and conditioners (35%), and deodorants and perfumes (29%). Being single, female, and in the age group of 18-20 years increased the odds of cosmetics utilization. However, being in primary school and being self-employed showed a less likely use of cosmetics. Two hundred forty-seven (44%) of the interviewed household members reported that they use traditional herbal cosmetics. A higher likelihood of traditional herbal cosmetics use was observed in the age group of 18-20 years. This study indicated that the community in Jigjiga town use different types of cosmetics. Education, occupation, marital status, age, and gender were all important factors that determined the use of cosmetics in the study area.

“…Menurut Korichi et al (2008), make up bekerja dan menstimulasi 3 dari 4 indra: sentuhan (mencakup semua sensasi dari permukaan tubuh), bau (harum), dan kenampakan (proses menjadi dan tampak cantik). Stimulasi positif pada indra tersebut disebabkan make up dapat menginduksi sensorik dan juga kesenangan psikis.…”
