| Abstract | I used a mixed-methods research study for this experiment. I wanted to see if women perceived makeup as a type of value system that reflects on their self-confidence. Previous research has had mixed results and I wanted to do a study with a bigger sample size. I used both qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection. I used a closed-ended survey that asked twentythree questions and used two personality scales at the end of the survey. In addition, I interviewed radio talk-show host Davi Crimmins from The Bert Show. I asked her seven openended questions about her personal experience of going thirty days without wearing makeup. The survey was gender specific to women where 116 participants were recruited and only ninetyfour completed the survey in its entirety. Through Crimmins' personal experience and results from the survey, I found a correlation between self-confidence and makeup. The personality scales have shown the participants to have high self-confidence. Results show that women value makeup in social and professional settings, but do not care about makeup when it comes to running errands. 2 Siegel Institute Ethics Research Scholars, Vol. 2 [2017], Art. 2 http://digitalcommons.kennesaw.edu/siers/vol2/iss1/2 |
