Abstract
- structured interviews, participatory observation, and online data collection. It first analyzes the functions and popularity of beauty software
among females. Then, it explores womens psychological motivations for using beauty technology, such as narcissistic psychology, Cooleys
Mirror Me Theory, and the influence on self - identity. It also delves into how posting beauty photos affects social relationships. Moreover,
it discusses typical states of contemporary young womens cognition of beauty technology, including normal use, favoring original images,
and the rebellion of presenting ugly photos. The study suggests that beauty technology should be viewed dialectically, and future beauty -
making ways may become more diverse as people seek natural and personalized beauty.
