TikTok has become a dynamic platform where beauty ideals are formed, disseminated, and internalized.Using a qualitative approach, this research is based on in-depth interviews with members of Generation Z who actively consume beauty content on TikTok. The analysis focuses on patterns of internalization, self-comparison, and critical reflection on the promoted beauty standards. The results show that @dosenkecantik consistently displays idealistic beauty standards, which influence how viewers perceive themselves. Repeated exposure encourages internalization, although some viewers demonstrate awareness.
