Abstract

This study aims to analyze Gen Z's motives in consuming makeup content from beauty influencer Tasya Farasya on TikTok using the Uses and Gratifications Theory approach. This motive is based on five needs satisfied by media, as stated by Katz, Gurevitch, and Haas, which are analyzed in the Uses and Gratifications Theory. The five needs include cognitive needs, affective needs, personal integration needs, social integration needs, and stress relief needs. This study will be conducted using a qualitative approach using the phenomenological method, as well as in-depth interviews with Gen Z as the main data collection technique. The results of the study indicate that the main motive for Gen Z to consume Tasya Farasya's makeup content on TikTok is driven by cognitive needs, while affective needs, personal integration needs, social integration needs, and stress relief needs are not the main motives for Gen Z in consuming Tasya Farasya's makeup content on TikTok. This study provides insight into how TikTok content, especially from beauty influencer Tasya Farasya, fulfills Gen Z's media needs motives in the context of makeup content consumption.
