Each country has its own canons of female beauty: Thais and Koreans whiten their skin and try to make their eyes open in a European way, Brazilians and Australians carve figures to look stunning in a bikini, British and French women stand up for naturalness. And what about in Turkey? It would seem, judging by the increased attention that the local men give to our tourists, Slav women can claim the role of an ideal? But no, Turkish güzel kadın (that is, beautiful women) are quite capable of competing with them, especially if their appearance meets local standards. The harems of the Turkish sultans were full of luxurious beauties, but the ideas of beauty in those distant times were somewhat different from modern ones. How much – judge for yourself: in the 13th century, for example, the owner of miniature palms, feet and ears, narrow nostrils, a wide forehead, dark thick hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, scarlet lips and cheeks, an elongated nose, a magnificent bust and prominent hips were considered the standard. The concubines brightened their skin with white, brightly brought their eyes, removed excess hair from the body. Asymmetry of the face and excessive thinness were considered signs of illness, and fused eyebrows in unison spoke of the piety of their mistress, because Muslim women are forbidden to pluck them. According to stereotypes, Turks still prefer curvy women. Yes, there really is no cult of thinness here, but today ladies still strive to be slim. And this is oh, how difficult, considering how popular family meals are in Turkey, with tables bursting with meze snacks, all kinds of kebabs and sweets like Turkish delight and baklava. So the poor things have to go on diets and sweat in hammams, although men, to their credit, do not put forward any strict requirements at all: here, as in the whole world, someone likes thin people, and someone likes plump ones. 7 Turkish clothing brands that are definitely worth leaving room in your suitcase. 
1. Classic Look
2. Shape
3. Makeup
Until recently, Turkish women either did not wear makeup at all, or, on the contrary, wore makeup very, very brightly. Today, moderate makeup is in fashion (although red lipstick is still held in high esteem). Studies have shown that local women spend much less money on cosmetics than European women, but this is by no means due to indifference to their own appearance, but to the popularity of centuries-old home care products. For example, black cumin oil helps with acne, and sour milk helps with oily hair.

4. Hairstyle
Most Turkish women naturally have dark, thick and curly hair, which means that, according to the incomprehensible laws of female logic, they stubbornly straighten and lighten it. Hairdressers are here on every corner, and the masters are mostly men, real pros who can turn naughty curls into smooth and shiny strands with just a hair dryer and a brush. Do you know why Turks smear their hands with cologne?
5. Skin smoothness
Waxing and shugaring on water, cane sugar and essential oils relieve excess vegetation on the body. And fused eyebrows are now bad manners, so Turkish women pluck them or correct them with threads. The thread technique, known since ancient times, requires endurance (it hurts) coupled with skill (and a bit difficult), but the hairs are removed quickly and grow back slowly.
6. Manicure
In manicure, Turkish women do not recognize halftones and pastel shades – only expressive, saturated colors: scarlet and coral, cherry and burgundy. It is not so easy to find a good salon, and if you are lucky enough to find a master who knows how to do French manicure, extensions, and intricate design, the young ladies keep his contacts secret and pass them on only to close friends.

7. Individuality
Some local womanizers really look at foreign women, noting flaws in their compatriots: for example, short stature and some general pear-shaped figure, thin lips and fuzzy cheekbones. But these are nit-picking, because the inhabitants of modern Turkey are the descendants of various peoples, from Central Asian and Altai nomads to Greeks, Caucasians and Eastern Slavs. They also look very different: different shades of hair and skin, eye shape, average height and complexion. And this is wonderful, because no matter how hard you try to keep up with the changeable fashion with its standards, beauty is still primarily in the individual. 6 popular Turkish products that cannot be found in Russia.
