The Fourth industrial Revolution is the next-generation industrial revolution consisting of ICT convergence. With the advent of the digital transformation era, ICT has been integrated into industries and services in various fields such as society, economy, culture, and education. The purpose of this study is to analyze beauty-related research in the fourth industry and provide basic data. In order to search for beauty-related papers in the fourth industry, seven keywords were selected, including “Artificial Intelligence (AI),” “Chatbot,” “Big Data,” “Metabus,” “Virtual Reality,” “Enhanced Reality” and “Machine Learning.” From 2013 to 2023, 81 papers published in the Korean Studies Information System (KISS) and Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) were collected. By keyword, “AI” was the highest with 22 cases (27%), while “Chatbot (3,4%)” and “Machine Learning (2,2%)” were the lowest. By industry, the “beauty industry” was the highest with 26 cases (32%). Despite continuous beauty research, it is necessary to accelerate beauty education and nail research. According to analysis by research method, “quantitative research” showed the highest preference (54%) with 44 cases, and “qualitative research” showed the highest preference (27%). This study predicted the growth direction of research, reviewed the trend of technology research in the 4th Industrial Revolution in the beauty field, and provided basic data for analysis. I think additional research with various keywords is needed by industry and research method.
