Make up plays a vital role to perceived social reactions either on the perception of oneself or the perceptions of others. It facilitates adornment as perceived by the people around. It part of one's own motivation in order to pursue the "visual centrality" of looks in the society. Since the women dominate the nursing workforce, this triggers the researchers to focus on the registered nurses who used cosmetics while performing their duties in the hospital.

This research used a quantitative, descriptive correlational design to determine the relationship between the cosmetics utilization and self-confidence of registered nurses working in Riyadh hospitals. The purposive sampling technique was used in selecting the 392 total samples. Pearson product moment correlation and Analysis of variance were used to test the hypotheses. Findings shows that majority of nurses used cosmetics for beautification which they perceived as facial attractiveness an external view of others towards them. Most nurses were high make up users (24%) to low make up users (29%). Majority of the nurses have high level of self-confidence representing 82% of the total population. In conclusion, the cosmetic utilization has a moderate positive correlation with their self-confidence level. Age and marital status is a predictor in using the cosmetics while age and employment type is highly significant in the nurses' self-confidence.
