Chapter I
Most women in today's world feel self-conscious about their looks because they compare
themselves to media superstars, who have wide almond eyes, a strong jaw line, flawless skin
and red cheeks. The dilemma was answered by makeup's ability to quickly conceal flaws on the
face and conform to ideals of feminine beauty (International Journal of Pharmaceutical
Research 2021). Cosmetic procedures involve the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of
one’s physical appearance through the using of cosmetics. In this generation it is essential to
explore cosmetic to practice good skincare habit.
This would involve studying the ways in which cultural, societal, and personal factors
impact their educational environment and how those factors affect their opinions and behaviors
about their use of cosmetics and self-confidence. The success of present efforts or education-
related efforts focused on promoting HUMSS 11 students' positive body image and self-esteem
would be another field of research. Today, some HUMSS 11 students face increasing pressures
related to appearance standards and societal expectations, such as putting a standard on every
individual. he main targets of makeup criticism are reducing oneself to pressures from the
community and the impossible beauty standards that are placed on women. To correct this, it
might be helpful to empower women to embrace their own beauty by encouraging diversity in
beauty standards, prioritizing self-expression over conformity, and educating them about the
benefits of cosmetics as a tool for creativity and confidence development. Building a more
welcoming and accepting environments for all women also requires addressing beliefs in the
beauty business and promoting interactions about self-acceptance.
1.
The rationale for this study stems from the growing interest in understanding the
relationship between cosmetics use and confidence among adolescent of HUMSS Student in
Sapang Palay National High School, particularly in the context of educational settings.
Adolescence is a critical period characterized by heightened self-awareness and social
pressures, where cosmetics use can play a significant role in shaping perceptions of self-esteem
and confidence. By focusing on HUMSS 11 girls at Sapang Palay National High School, this
study aims to provide valuable insights into how cosmetics use influences confidence levels
among this specific demographic within an educational environment.
This study was qualitative research using a phenomenology design. The goal of this
study is to find out if there is a connection between confidence and cosmetics or if the cosmetic
helps the HUMSS 11 student to boost their confidence whatever they are applying a cosmetic to
themselves. It will also find out how cosmetics help the HUMSS 11 students to build their self-
confidence. In addition, it will be included in how it helps them move or act in their own
circumstances, which depends on their personal experiences. The researcher will conduct a
question in order to express their perception regarding how cosmetics affect them. On the
other hand, while doing the open and ended question the researcher will also interview the
participants unable to add the information to their data.
The research conducted in Sapang Palay National High School focused specifically on
HUMSS 11 students during the academic year 2023-2024.While on the other side of the strand
are not included even if they are inside the school of Sapang Palay National High School, it was
not meant to exclude or discriminate against them in any way. Moreover, since this research
only has a limited participant. It was important for the researchers to focus on this group to
gather relevant data and insights related to their experiences with cosmetics. Furthermore, the
researchers chose to specifically target participants who use cosmetics, regardless of their
gender identity or sexual orientation. If they are using a cosmetic and they voluntary wanted to
be a participant, they can be a contributor to the researcher research. Participants in the
research were invited to voluntarily participate in the study, ensuring that their involvement was
based on their own willingness and interest in the research topic.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The outcomes of this study have a great importance on helping the students, teacher,
administrator and other people who are conducting researcher.
To the students it would serve as a basis on beauty products, if it can boost their
confidence to perform well and socialize well in school. Also, being aware of beauty items can
help develop a feeling of personal grooming and self-care, creating a positive self-image that
enhances relationships with both teachers and classmates.
To the teachers, the result may serve as an eye opener for them so they can know
that some students use cosmetics to boost their confidence and to hide their flaws. In addition
to that this research can benefit them because it also can apply to themselves to gain more
understanding about the connection of cosmetic and confident.
To the School Departments, it will help them to encourage those students to enroll to
their school because they have a greater understanding that cosmetics itself help them to build
their confident.
To the future researcher this study would serve as another source of literature which
gives them additional knowledge about this topic.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Relevant Literature
The significance of cosmetics has expanded the same number as the social media
increase. It is proven by the Journal of Dermatology & Cosmetology (2019) that cosmetic
promptly accessible nowadays due to the internet influence. It is also stated that even men
have turned out to be worried to their beauty or looks. Aside from that Cosmetics improve our
look and give us a more assured feeling. With more cosmetics available than at any other point
in recent memory, it is evident to us that they play a remarkable role in our day-to-day lives.
According to Asia's Pacific Journal of Academic Research in Social Science on 2020, self-
confidence is required to perform the required task. When a student lacks self-confidence, they
may doubt their abilities and second-guess themselves. This can lead to procrastination,
anxiety, and a lack of motivation to complete schoolwork. On the other hand, when a student
possesses self-confidence, they are more likely to approach tasks with a positive mindset, take
on challenges, and persevere through difficult situations. To complete a task that has
something to do with schoolwork, you must have self-confidence for you to be able to perform.
According to Journal of Drug Delivery & Therapeutics (2019). Cosmetics can help
women explore and express their uniqueness, helping them connect to the public's beauty
standards. Women's initial experimentation with beauty care products begins in early childhood,
and the status of cosmetics on women's confidence is evaluated. Cosmetics are often used for
social self-introduction and mental self-view, and young women's fear of their appearance is
partly due to their anxiety about their skin. The use of facial beautifying agents can boost self-
confidence and help women believe that confidence is achieved when their appearance aligns
with the situation.

Relevant Studies
Based on the study of Robertson, J. M., & Kingsley, B. E. (2021). “Behind the Façade:
Motivations for Cosmetic Usage by Women.” The study explores the motivations behind
cosmetic usage, incorporating a postfeminist approach. Respondents were asked about their
motivations for using cosmetics, and four main themes emerged: conformity, impression
management, enhancement, fun, creativity, well-being, and signification and identity. While
some themes were anticipated, others were unexpected, and new areas emerged, such as
cosmetics for fun and creativity. This research aims to fill a gap in existing literature on
appearance manipulation. They once asked a certain participant a semi-structured question
about why they currently use cosmetics, and the response they responded to was to enhance
their confidence, avoid judgment from whoever pointed out their flaws, and somehow enjoy
applying cosmetics to their faces because it improves their creativity in using cosmetics.
However, in this study, it is also mentioned the importance of cosmetics to every individual of
us, not just ladies but also to those who are physically conscious of their appearance.
According to the study of Andżelika Kosmala, Iwona Wilk, and Krzysztof Kassolik (2019)
“Influence of makeup on the well-being and self-esteem of women”, the study aimed to assess
the effect of makeup on well-being and self-esteem in women. Improves the well-being of
women and affects their self-confidence. In addition, the use of makeup raises the self-esteem.
Makeup has a significant impact on how women feel about themselves. and serve as a tool for
self-expression and empowerment. Also, makeup can make women feel more confident by
enhancing their physical appearance, covering their flaws, and expressing their creativity and
individuality.
On the authority of study of Juvilyn G Lanzuela, Jenny Mae C Odon, Joshua Joye O
Caguioa (2020) “Cosmetic Product Usage and Self-Confidence among HUMSS Students of
Bayambang”, Women has the ability to enhance their confidence through cosmetics; yet the
decision of when and why to wear them does not necessarily determine their ability to do so.
Consequently, the researchers draw the conclusion that the use of cosmetics can boost self-
confidence when done so without taking everything into account, the motivations behind the
use, as it is a personal choice that cannot be influenced by outside forces. In the end, this
research may aid minority pupils in developing self-confidence using cosmetics suitable for their
circumstances and age.
As maintained by Piel Zdr Publ. 2019 “The right to the image of the patient”. The new
generation of Gen Z put a standard image of ‘Ideal Woman’ because nowadays they could not
help but compare themselves to the image of women they see in any social media, which
makes them feel insecure and decreases their self-esteem. That is why they are improving their
physical appearance to boost their confidence.
35.
The same as presented by Robertson, J. M., & Kingsley, B. E. (2021). “Behind the
Façade: Motivations for Cosmetic Usage by Women”. The study aimed to address the lack of
empirical attention given to cosmetic usage by providing a contemporary overview of the
motivations behind it. It allows them to experiment with different colors, textures, and
techniques to create a look that is uniquely their own. Whether it's a bold lip color, a dramatic
eye shadow look, or a subtle highlighting technique, cosmetics offer endless possibilities for
creativity and self-expression. The study uncovered entirely new areas such as cosmetics for
fun and creativity.
The study of "The Effect of use of the Cosmetic Products on Self-Confidence among
female Accountancy, Businesses Management" within the city of Pangasinan (2023) Makeup is
not a mask that covers up your beauty, it's a weapon that helps you express who you really are
from the inside”. What a lovely quote from Michelle Phan! Indeed, makeup may be a very
effective instrument for expressing one's inner originality and beauty. It enables people to
highlight and improve their distinct characteristics. their characteristics. People can feel more
confident and authentically themselves with makeup, whether it's a small boost or a dramatic
alteration. Every teenage girl aspires to have a natural yet refined appearance. They would like
to have more self-assurance when interacting with different people. But many women have
poor self-confidence and breakouts. Women evaluate themselves against the ideal female and
against other women.
According to the study of Gerald Moneva and Shiela Mae Tribulo. 2020, in Johabiao
National High School, Cebu, Philippines. There is a correlation between self-confidence and the
ability to perform. In short, self-confidence is required to perform the required task or to
complete a task. In this study, it is shown that students who have a high level of self-
confidence can easily accomplish their tasks in school, and most of them are not afraid to
participate in or recite every activity. while those students who have lost confidence sometimes
have to participate in every activity. They made a questionnaire, which is a form of checklist, to
find out if self-confidence can affect your performance in school.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Based on the conceptual framework, there is one independent variable: "Boosting Self-
confidence", and there are two dependent variables: "The perception of HUMSS 11 Students"
and the "Boosting Self-confidence using Cosmetics". Between the independent and dependent
variables, the perception of HUMSS 11 Students and Boosting Self-confidence using Cosmetics
are both variables that can be influenced by boosting self-confidence. Boosting self-confidence,
it's about believing in yourself and recognize your worth. The perception of HUMSS 11 students,
when someone has self-confidence, they have a positive self-perception and trust in their
capabilities. Boosting self-confidence using cosmetics are the way to enhance their appearance
and make them feel more confident. Overall, the conceptual framework highlights the interplay
between independent and dependent variables. By understanding the relationships between
independent and dependent variables, it shapes the students’ perceptions of cosmetics and
directly affects their confidence through cosmetic use.

impact of makeup on empowerment and confidence in social situations. Socrates believes that
makeup helps women with low self-esteem become more confident. According to Freud (BET),
cosmetics can help people feel better about themselves on the inside by healing and beautifying
them. According to Pavlov (LGFG), having self-confidence boosts one's self-esteem, yet
Webster (EBT) highlights how makeup may change a person's appearance. While Piaget (PCB)
emphasizes makeup's role in creating public confidence, Chomsky (CTM) highlights the role
makeup plays in promoting confident social interactions, and Dewey (LCE) highlights the power
of makeup to create a vivid appearance, which in turn boosts self-confidence.

Chapter V
This chapter shows the summary of the research study’s findings, the conclusion
gathered based on the analysis and interpretation of the data collected, and recommendation.
Summary of findings
The findings of the study were summarized according to the statement of the problem
in Chapter 1
34.
greater self-assurance and comfort with the way they look. By experimenting with various
makeup looks, individuals can develop a sense of empowerment and explore their personality.
It's crucial to understand, however, that opinions can vary greatly among people due to social
influences, cultural conventions, and personal beliefs. While some people find confidence in
makeup, others may place more importance on self-assurance that goes beyond external
appearance.
The study's subjects reported feeling satisfied with their physical appearance after
using cosmetics. The use of cosmetics can provide a sense of satisfaction and boost one's
confidence by improving their overall look. Cosmetics can help students cover up any
imperfections or blemishes on their skin, such as acne or dark spots. By using products like
foundation or concealer, students can achieve a smoother and more even complexion, giving
them a more polished appearance. This can help them feel more confident in their skin and
present themselves in a more positive light to others. Additionally, cosmetics can be used to
enhance certain features that students may want to highlight, such as their eyes or lips. By
using eyeshadow, mascara, or lipstick, students can play up their best features and draw
attention to them, ultimately boosting their self-esteem and making them feel more attractive.
Students use cosmetics because it is a way to build their confidence and help them face
and interact with other people. Students confidently talk to other people, especially in school,
because every time we are inside the classroom or school, we often communicate with our
fellow students and beloved teachers. Furthermore, students often get compliments when they
wear makeup, which can boost their confidence. Cosmetics can make people feel better about
their looks. When people feel they look good, they often feel more confident.
35.
Cosmetics enhance physical attractiveness by altering facial features to conform a
cultural ideal, enhancing symmetry, and camouflaging imperfections. They also boost
confidence, which can enhance perceived attractiveness. Studies indicate that makeup can
influence perceptions of personality traits like trustworthiness and competence, contributing to
overall attractiveness. Additionally, cosmetics can create a sense of self-expression, allowing
individuals to showcase their unique style and personality, further enhancing their appeal.
CONCLUSION
After careful analysis of the gathered data from the answer of the Grade 11
Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS) Students and through examination of the indicated
findings, a series of comprehensive and compelling conclusion have been made.
1. Cosmetics products could make an impact in developing of confidence skill of the student.
2. By using makeup to highlight their best features and downplay any perceived flaws,
performers can feel more confident in their appearance and focus their energy on their
performance rather than worrying about how they look
3. It is important to note that while cosmetics products can have a positive impact on
developing confidence skills in students, they should not be seen as a requirement for self-
worth or acceptance. True confidence comes from within and is not solely dependent on
external appearances. It is essential for students to cultivate a sense of self-love and
acceptance regardless of whether they choose to wear makeup or not.
5. By using makeup to cover imperfections, highlight features, and express creativity, students
can feel more comfortable and empowered in their own skin. However, it is important for
students to remember that true beauty comes from within, and that makeup should be used as
a tool for self-expression and enhancement, rather than as a crutch for self-esteem.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the findings and conclusion made the following recommendations are given:
1. Conduct a relevant study but in a broader way. When conducting a study in a broader
way, researchers need to consider various factors that can have an impact on the
results. One of the key aspects is to ensure that the study sample is representative of
34.
the population being studied. This means including participants from diverse
backgrounds, including different age groups, and genders.
3. Since the study focused only on 11 HUMSS students at Sapang Palay National High
School, future researchers should be conducted on a broader scale possibly using
multiple universities
