In addition to appearance, the psychological impact of
Cosmetic use is significant. Applying makeup can boost self-esteem, improve mood, and provide a sense of control over one’s image. Whether it’s a professional setting where one wants to appear more polished, or a casual day where a touch of lip gloss brightens the mood, cosmetics act as confidence boosters. Many people view their cosmetic routine as a form of self-care, much like skincare rituals, as the process itself can be soothing, creative, and even therapeutic.
