Brand collaborations, particularly between characters and cosmetics brands, have become popular, adding more esthetic value and story to products. This paper explores the eff ects of character collaborations on cosmetic products evaluation, focusing on the collaborated character’s image congruence. The current research reveals that consumers who perceive a collaborated character’s image as congruent with their ideal self-image have more positive product evaluation, and further unveils the mediating eff ect of the self-improvement motive and the moderating eff ect of the perception of product usage situation. The fi ndings of this research suggest that brand collaboration with character brands would be benefi cial as a long-term strategy.
