This thesis discusses how brand love for skin care products can be formed from topics discussed by consumers in electronic word of mouth shared via Twitter. The concept of brand love formation includes the occurrence of brand experience from consumers, brand formation begins with brand experience consequence and then brand love is formed through five dimensions, namely passion for a brand, brand attachment, positive evaluation of the brand, positive emotions in response to the brand and declarations of love toward the brand. Data analysis was carried out with six stages of coding, namely coding, noting, abstracting, checking and refinement, generalizing, and theorizing. The data used are tweets that includes skin care products keywords with a data period of one year. From the data analysis process, it is found that there are three highest skin care brands, Viva, Garnier and Wardah. The research shows that consumers voluntarily share their brand experience with a spirit of altruism. Thus, consumers brand experience in using skin care products can also be neutral and negative, not only positive. Consumer opinion is very dependent on the efficacy of skin care products on their skin. The research found a new perspective that brand experience consequences can have negative and neutral emotions. That way, the bond between consumers and brands can be formed through negative or even neutral impressions in the process.
