Instagram.
TikTok.
Line, and others.
Everyone can share information with each other through social media in the form of documents, videos, photos and others (Sokolova & Kefi, 2.
Almost all women want to look beautiful and perfect by those around them.
Thus making the beauty industry one of the growing companies, especially in the skincare industry.
Competition between companies is currently increasingly competitive, especially in marketing a product.
Most marketers are willing to invest a large amount of money to be able to use the services of celebrity endorsers to market their products.
Celebrity producers can make advertisements very attractive and increase message recall to the audience through the profile of the celebrity endorser, so that they can attract consumers attention and assist in brand marketing (Sheu, 2.
Manufacturers have carried out various tactics in marketing their products to become consumers choices and one of the efforts made by skincare companies at this time is by using the services of celebrity endorsers.
Online promotion by using celebrity endorser services is not only to attract consumers attention, but also to increase persuasive messages by increasing advertising effectiveness.
With the celebrity endorser, consumers can find out how good the product is through testimonials and reviews submitted by the celebrity endorser (Muda et al.
Celebrity endorser is a common method in increasing the effectiveness of advertising and the role of celebrities can increase the effectiveness of messages and consumer buying The endorsement method has become very popular in recent decades, due to its positive impact on consumers' purchase intentions (Eren-Erdogmus et al.
, 2.

Celebrity endorsers who have physical attractiveness are one of the factors in the effectiveness of the message.

effective than the giver of an unattractive message in promoting a product through advertising Attractiveness can be an impact for changing opinions, product evaluations and advertising effectiveness.
Attractiveness is based on the consumer's familiarity, liking and closeness with the celebrity.
This means that consumers will follow the preferences of the celebrity (DeShields et al.
, 1.
The attractive character and physique of celebrity endorsers can generate audience interest in listening to advertisements and can support these advertisements (Anggarani et al.
, 2.
Credibility is a perception of the advantages that exist in a celebrity endorser, then the audience can accept and follow the celebrity endorser.
The character of a celebrity endorser has a very important role and can be a determinant of the high or low celebrity endorser who has a credibility (Kurniawan, 2.
The attractiveness of a celebrity endorser in an advertisement can influence the audience to receive information and affect the audience's willingness to buy the product.
Celebrity endorsers who have attractiveness have a positive relationship on brand attitudes and consumer purchase intentions (Wang et al.
, 2.
Meanwhile, previous research according to (Hani et al.
, 2.
found that the attractiveness of celebrity endorsers on consumer purchase intentions did not have a significant effect.
This is because the Lebanese people are more likely to trust jewelry brands and not because of the influence of celebrity endorsers.
Meanwhile, the credibility of the celebrity endorser on the consumer's purchase intention has a positive effect.
Lebanese society may perceive celebrity endorsers as honest and trustworthy individuals with experience in the jewelry industry.
An important element in increasing consumer purchase intention is brand attitude.
If a brand is trusted, the frequency of purchase will be higher than a brand that is not trusted.
brand that is familiar to consumers will be more attractive to buy (Jeklin, 2.
The evaluation carried out by consumers towards the brand is one of the brand attitudes and the brand equity model states that the more positive the attitude towards the brand will increase market share.
when there is an increase in market share.
A nervous or mental state that is organized through experience, readiness to respond and has an influence in directing a behavior.
So it can be said that the evaluation and experience of consumers towards a product brand can affect consumer behavior (Timpal et al.
, 2.
Subjective assessment of a service or product delivered from consumers will affect consumer purchase intentions.
There are several meanings from this statement, namely: consumer's willingness to consider buying a product, purchase intention in the future and purchase decision again.
Consumer buying intentions lead to the perceptual level of consumer confidence in buying a particular product or brand (Balakrishnan et al.
, 2.
A good positive attitude towards the brand will lead to purchase intentions in the minds of consumers.
Previous research by (Wang et al.
, 2.
found a positive relationship between brand attitudes and consumer purchase intentions.
While the results of research by (Muda et al.
show that between brand attitudes towards consumers' purchase intentions, it is found to be insignificant.
Consumer purchase intention can be activated by a positive attitude towards advertising and mediated by a positive attitude towards the brand.
Previous research on attractiveness, credibility, brand attitudes and consumer purchase intentions has been carried out by many previous researchers.
However, what distinguishes this research from previous research is that there are not many studies that use the variables of attractiveness, credibility, brand attitude and consumer purchase intention simultaneously in one study.
In addition, previous studies were mostly conducted on the jewelry industry or airlines, while this research was conducted on the skincare industry.
Based on the research gap above, the purpose of the study is to provide an explanation of the effect of attractiveness, credibility, brand attitude on consumers' purchase intentions on skincare products.

, 2.

This study uses Confirmatory Factor Analysis to test the validity by looking at the values of Kaiser-Msyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling (KMO) and Measures of Sampling Adequacy (MSA).
If the KMO value is below 0.
