本論文以化妝品廣告的表現內容及美意識為兩大考察課題，針對明治時代到平成時代的報紙中所刊載的化妝品廣告進行分析。考察對象劃分為日本及臺灣兩個地區，以日本具有影響力的全國性報紙『讀賣新聞』及日治時期在臺灣發行的日語新聞『台灣日日新報』為分析資料，藉由縱向時間軸的視點，探討化妝品廣告的歷史變遷，並從橫向空間軸的角度切入，解析同一時代的日本及臺灣在化粧品廣告的表現上有何異同。 在化妝品廣告的表現內容方面，主要針對廣告標語、圖像和廣告數量及類別的時代變化進行分析。而美意識的部分，則聚焦於廣告標語中所使用的詞彙與女性圖像之兩大範疇，解析日本與臺灣各個時期所呈現的對於女性之審美觀。 透過上述的考察，除了闡明從近代到現代的化妝品廣告之時代變化之外，也能了解同一時期下的日本與臺灣化妝品廣告之異同。 This research is focused on the presentation and the aesthetic sense in cosmetic advertisement according to the newspaper from the Meiji era to the Heisei era.
