Abstract

This study examines how neuroaesthetic principles and cultural economic variables influence the effectiveness of Instagram advertising in the beauty and cosmetics sector in India and the Middle East. A mixed-methods design—drawing on literature and a survey of 208 participants—explores how visual aesthetics, emotional response, cultural resonance, and trust-building mechanisms drive engagement and purchase intent. Key findings suggest that visual quality, especially color harmony and premium design, significantly impacts consumer trust and emotional engagement, while cultural localization enhances market resonance. Strategic recommendations are made for brands to integrate visual neuroscience and cultural cues into social media marketing.
