For this, a total of 106 master’s and doctoral theses published in the past decade (2010-2019) and 108 research papers listed on the Korea Citation Index (KCI) for journals and candidate journals were collected. Then, the productivity was analyzed by each category (e.g., year, sector, author, department), and keyword frequency by year/sector/type was analyzed. In terms of the research method, a research plan was diagramed and measured, using ‘KrKwic’, ‘KrTitle’, ‘UCINET’, and the results found the followings: First, according to the productivity analysis, a total of 214 papers pertaining to the research topic were published over the past 10 years. In particular, 2018 had the largest number of papers (31 papers, 14.4%) released. In terms of productivity by sector, ‘makeup (81 papers, 37.9%)’ was the highest. Second, according to the keyword analysis, a total of 871 keywords were extracted from 214 papers. According to the keyword analysis by sector, ‘makeup (121 keywords)’ was the highest while ‘other aesthetics (42 keywords)’ was the lowest, showing a nearly 2.9 times difference. In terms of keywords by type, 164 academic papers and 184 journals were observed.
