In modern media, sports are used as good contents which causes many sports players to become stars. There are many modifiers along with the sports star such as "It-girl", "Hot athlete“, ”Queen of Volleyball“ ”Fashion star on the field" and so on, that emphasizes external images with their skills. Especially, women athletes are more likely to receive social attention when they have not only excellent performance but also attractive appearance. Therefore, unlike the past, female athletes care more actively in appearance management.

Particularly, athletes such as rhythmic gymnasts and figure skaters are evaluated together with their technical skills and also esthetic value. For this reason, their clothes and make-ups are much more emphasized than other sports. In this regard, from the previous studies, it was found that ballerinas showed psychological stability through make-up done by makeup expert. It can be concluded that the perception of make-up can be an external factor that directly affects the athletes' performance. Previous research done by Jeon Hye-Jung and Kim Joo-Duk in 2015, proves this makeup awareness is deeply related to self-confidence. However it has not been actively researched yet. Moreover, it is continuously appearing that the outward perception leads to self-management behaviors(Yoo-Jin Choi, 2011) and self-management has a positive effect on self-confidence. However previous studies related to athletes are very scarce, so this study confirms the relationship between makeup awareness and self-confidence and to verify the mediating effect of self-management in these relationships.

The subjects of this study were chosen from representative athletic players(rhythmic gymasts, figure skaters) registered as official players at the Korea Sports Council and the survey was conducted from these selected 204 athletes. The researcher and the assistant researcher visited the training site directly and the completed questionnaire was collected immediately. statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 21.0 version program and AMOS 21.0 version program. Frequency analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed and Chronbach's α value was calculated. The correlation analysis was used as the preceding step for the research hypothesis test, and the structural equation model was analyzed for the hypothesis test. The conclusions drawn by this process are as follows.

First, as a result of verifying the effect of make-up perception of athletes' on self-confidence, make-up awareness had a positive effect on their self-confidence.

Secondly, the higher the awareness of make-up, the more positive influence on athletes' self-management. Thirdly, the athletic athletes' self-management was divided into body management, interpersonal management, training management and mental management and it statically influenced on self confidence. Fourthly, the mediating effect of self-management on the relationship between make-up awareness and self-confidence of athletes, the effect of make-up awareness on self-confidence through self-management was found to have a beneficial effect as full mediation. The results of this study suggests that athletes who are in an environment that is different from general athletes have a high awareness of make-up which, improves their interest in external management among self-management. It is believed that interests in appearance and self-management make them more confident as they are prepared when the athletes stand on the stage. Therefore, coaches and parents of the athletes should not regard the interest or action of doing make-up of the young athletes as unnecessary. Their interest in appearance and make-up is expressed by self-management and it is expected to show on their improved performances.
