But, the students wearing makeup performed much better than the students who heard the positive music. The findings are available in the popular journal Cogent Psychology. The researchers stated that it was not only the makeup that helped to bring better test results, but the findings suggested some new facts. Bondi Beauty reported that the researchers asked the participants after the test to do a self-report on how beautiful they actually felt. Participants wearing makeup reported higher perception about beauty compared to other participants. This indicates that wearing makeup could provide a better sense about self-esteem that may bring positive effects on the cognitive performance of an individual. Through the findings, it is clear that wearing makeup enhances the self-esteem that could interact with the cognition. The researchers are now aiming for further research. They must try to see if makeup brings long lasting effects on the cognitive performance.
