社交媒体已成为女性获取美妆信息的主要渠道。女性用户普遍认可颜值的重要性,化妆已成为一种日常性活动。女性“美丽消费”的动机主要来自个人满足感、生活仪式感、增加交往的吸引力和满足社会期待。女性从消费者转化为欲望生产者,消费动机朝着以形象资本争取社会认同的方向发展。商业化和父权制意识的结合在社交媒体中得到延伸和强化。“美丽消费”再生产了性别不平等。首先,社交媒体便于男性“凝视”女性,也便于女性主动寻求“凝视”。其次,社交媒体的“美丽神话”加重了消费对女性的异化。
<<With social media increasingly becoming the main channel for women to obtain beauty information,female users generally agree the importance of appearance,and make up has become a daily activity. The motivation of “beauty consumption” mainly comes from personal satisfaction,ritualization of life,increasing the attraction of social interaction and meeting social expectations. Women transform from consumers to desire of producers,and pursue social identity and the accumulation of image capital. The combination of commercialization and patriarchal consciousness has been extended and strengthened in social media. “Beauty consumption” reproduces gender inequality. First,social media is convenient for men to “gaze” women,and is also convenient for women to actively seek “gaze”. Second,the beauty myth of social media aggravates the alienation of women.
