Beauty short videos are short video content with beauty as the theme, which are spread on new media on the internet. High school students, as social members who have grown up in the Internet era, are currently at a critical stage in the formation of self cognition. Beauty, as a direct way to change one's external image, has led to a continuous increase in attention to beauty-related content. Its fragmented nature is more in line with the current high school students' habit of watching short videos, making beauty short videos one of their main video content. This article starts with the current situation and trend of high school students' use of beauty short videos, as well as their impact on their learning and physical and mental health. It analyzes the positive and negative effects of beauty short videos on high school students' cognitive attitudes, emotional attitudes, and behavioral trends. It also examines the problems that exist in the process of using beauty short videos by high school students, in order to draw attention from society, schools, and families, and provides suggestions and measures for the education of high school students.
