CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Every teenager girl wants to have a natural and glamorous look in terms of their physical
appearance. They want to be more confident facing different people. But many women suffer from
breakouts, and low self-confidence. One reason why women would be motivated to promote their
attractiveness is to increase their self-confidence. Many women reason that if they look good, they
will also feel good.
Upon the Surveyed given to the G-11 HUMS Students at the Asian Institute of Computer Studies
women ages 18 and older experienced negative feelings when they weren't wearing makeup, they
felt unattractive they felt self-conscious and admitted they felt naked or as though something was
missing without makeup. Self-confidence is important to every student, so they can take the
courage to face and to entertain other people in their most comfortable way. From acne as a
teenager to fine lines in middle age, skin problems can affect your confidence and self-esteem.
Students hard to gain confidence because they are the most conscious when it comes to their
appearance. Having insecurity in their skin, face, and other parts of their body make them shy to
interact with other people. Many students whose main problem is how to have self-confidence so
they cannot avoid using or buying cosmetic products. Teenagers are often obsessed with makeup
because they are influenced by videos they watched on social media. By doing this it hid
blemishes or whatever they do not want to see on their face. They have the confidence to deal
with other people because of the help of make-up keeping their face problems. The makeup is a
lot of use just like lipstick, it maintains lip life so it does not look like a pale, concealer and

cream, lipstick, mascara, and makeup. Students can't avoid trying cosmetic products because
their fellow students are criticizing them when they have an acne and flawed skin. So no matter
how expensive it is to buy or use cosmetic products, students are choosing to try just to achieve
their dream beauty. In this situation most of student eager to achieve what they want to be. Some

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES
Foreign Literature
Britton (2012) investigated the influence of beauty industry on women in society. The study
attempt to gather general information about college women and their use of cosmetics. A study
found that cosmetics industry have significant impact on college women. When respondents asked
how they were to wear makeup in different situations, class, works, job interview, out with
friends, running errands and on a date. The most popular answers for the 6 situations was
somewhat likely, likely and very likely. It showed that make up is indeed important to every situation
in a college women's life.
Davis (2013) conducted a study on African American women's attitude towards cosmetics and how
to use the products is related to African American women's self-identity and self-perception of
appearance. Many of the women-respondent stated that using cosmetic products gave them extra
confidence. However, psychological tension revealed within women saying they are pretty without
wearing cosmetics but, still wear it to feel positive about their appearance. A study also found that
some of the women developed self-confidence when they received compliments from others on
their makeup.
Silverio's (2010) study on make-up effects on self-perception of the women students' in Old
Dominion University. She argued that wearing make-up makes women feel more confident.. The
study divide into 3 section to generates findings, first section utilized closed-ended questions to
gain background knowledge pertaining to the students‟ average use of make, second section

was developed using forced choice responses. The response options included strongly agree,
agree, undecided, disagree, and strongly disagree. This section was used to further understand
the students „personal feelings about themselves and its relationship to their use of makeup, the
last section provided one open-ended question to gain a more personal insight on the topic. The
survey recognized that most women agreed to the fact that they felt good when their make-up
looks good. Women also indicated that wearing make-up provide a certain amount of self-
confidence to the wearer.
Meanwhile, Palumbo et al. (2017) study on possibility of make-up effect on academic
performance. He stated that previous study shown that higher levels of self-esteem are
associated with better academic performance. The research work by asking 186 female
undergraduate students who take a simulated university examination. Participants was randomly
assigned to three groups which consist of wearing make-up, listening to positive music and face
coloring. The study revealed that female students who wear make-up received higher grades
compared to those who did not. The result of the study proposed that make-up can increased the
participants' level of self-beauty perceived, consequently enhancing self- esteem, that results on
improvement of cognitive performance compared to the other groups.
Local Literature
The study conducted by Aquino J., Balanyos L., Botardo M., Mandanas K., Monte L. and Ordas
E. (2017) on the influence of Cosmetics on the Confidence of Senior High School women in

feature that stands out on their body or it alter their flaws. According to the respondents they’re
personal reason lies on their own decision of wanting to use it and acceptance of the people
around them that also one of the reasons why they are following arising trends. Furthermore,
students admitted that they are self-conscious in a way they’re wearing cosmetic products they do
not worry how they look for having the assumption that wearing beauty products makes them
presentable. Moreover, they agreed that they improved in terms of social skills and attitude in
dealing with other people. They also stated that they can walk in front of other people with
confidence and without any mixed feeling of awkwardness.

local researchers, are relevant to the present study. The study of Britton, A. (2012) is very important.
Similar to this research, the current study also looking for influence of beauty industry on women
in order to determine whether a beauty product has a impact on their self-attractiveness and
self-confidence. Moreover, Davis, L. (2013) discussed the women’s attitude towards cosmetic and
how use of cosmetics related to self-perception of appearance of the African American students. This
research provides answer on the present study that looking for effects of cosmetics that users are
commonly encountered. The result of the previous study being cited
