With the development of economy, the requirements and perceptions of appearance are also changing. The feminine label of cosmetic products is gradually fading. More and more men are concerned about beauty and are aware of and using beauty products (Karjo, Wijaya, 2020) The attractiveness of a made-up male face is higher. ( Batres , Robinson, 2022). The data shows that male and female beauty influences have shown differences in their features and characteristics of language. Men's beauty influences tend to be more straightforward and directive. On the other hand, are more inclined to perform actions or activities( Imawan,2019). Male beauty influences represent the rise of a new customer segment and a new way of consuming. They represent the rise of a new customer base and a new way of constructing gender identity through consumption.(Komulainen, Hjort, 2017).Male beauty influences are crossing gender boundaries in a hybrid and fluid way. This means they are mixing different masculine and feminine traits in a very liberal way, both physically and verbally. The consumption of make-up by male beauty bloggers refers to a mixed understanding of gender. (Komulainen, Hjort, 017).
