Beauty starts with accepting yourself
Accept and love yourself first, then change only what you genuinely want to. There's no ugly woman, she says, only self-love missing, and her whole approach is to enhance your own beauty, not replace it.

Real beauty starts with accepting yourself
Cosmetologist Gültəkin Eyvazova on why beauty starts with accepting yourself, why most people come for confidence rather than a real flaw, why copying someone else's face is the biggest mistake, and why the aim is to enhance your own beauty, not manufacture a new one.

Watch on YouTube →In a world of filters and copy-paste faces, cosmetologist Gültəkin Eyvazova takes the opposite line: beauty starts with accepting yourself. In this LaGrace Podcast she's clear that most people walk into her room citing a spot or fatigue, but under it is low self-esteem, and that her job is to enhance your own features, not erase them or make everyone look alike.
It's an honest, practical conversation about the myth that aesthetic specialists “fill” everyone, the danger of filters, why copying someone else's lips or chin never works, right care over expensive care, and why the only healthy competition is with your own past self.
Key takeaways
Most come for confidence, not a flaw
People cite a spot or fatigue, but underneath is low self-esteem. Wanting drastic changes usually signals inner insecurity, not a real need, and the confidence has to come from within, not from a procedure.
Enhance, don't replace
She deliberately does minimal touches, refuses procedures a client doesn't need, and won't make everyone look alike. The aim is to work with your own anatomy, not manufacture a face.
Filters are the dangerous trend
The filter is temporary; what lasts is your inner self and the outer look that fits you. Trying to become the filtered version, she says, is self-rejection dressed up as beauty.
Don't copy someone else's face
The biggest beauty mistake is choosing someone as your ideal and asking for their lips or chin. The same filler on two same-age women gives different results, because every body is individual.
Life changes, not just looks
Women often come after a breakup, a divorce, a turning point, ready at last to give themselves time. Done from a healthy place it's the right call; done to prove something to someone, it isn't.
Right care beats expensive care
Price can signal quality, but the priciest product isn't automatically right for your skin. The correct, skin-matched routine matters more, and home care and a cosmetologist complement each other, neither replaces the other.
Compete only with your past self
She never competes with anyone, only with her earlier self, better than yesterday, no last year's mistake repeated. Healthy competition is with yourself, not against others.
In practice
- Accept yourself first, then decide: love your life and your looks as they are, and only then change the specific things you genuinely want to.
- Don't copy a face: what suits one woman's anatomy won't suit yours, enhance your own features instead of chasing someone else's ideal.
- Treat filters as fun, not a goal, don't try to become the filtered version; it's self-rejection dressed as beauty.
- Choose right care over expensive care, products matched to your skin, and pair a cosmetologist with consistent home care; wear SPF year-round, just adjust the factor by season.
“Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”
“There is no ugly woman.”
“The filter is temporary; what lasts is your inner self.”
“I never compete with anyone, only with myself.”
