Title: Effects of Makeup on Self-Esteem (Underneath the layers/ The Layers Within) The purpose of my Capstone project is to find out how one’s self-esteem can be affected by wearing makeup. I will be conducting a quantitative experiment with female participants in which I will manipulate the variable of makeup (wearing versus not wearing) and measure the results of changes to their self-esteem, if any. The timeline for my Capstone project this semester will be as follows: September-October: Proceed with Literature Review and further research October: Finalize methods and experiment procedures November: Conduct experiment (3 weeks) and collect data December: Submit Progress Report Form to Honors College
