Formerly a film actress and opera singer at the Italian Theater. Her first role in the film "The Burglar" by Valery Ogorodnikov brought her fame in her native Petersburg. In the film, she played the role of a girl who has become a bright image of a foggy future, a glimmer of hope that life consists not only of dark fragments, but also moments of happiness. However, a stellar career did not work out then. She wanted to sing. She graduated from the St. Petersburg State Conservatory and left at the invitation to Italy. True, she could not stand it for a long time without her native Petersburg.
“The search for myself lasted until 40. I tried to work in an art gallery, in the real estate business. And somehow everything went wrong,” says Svetlana.
After 40, she opened a creative workshop "Academy of Wanderings", which works with special children and organizes mass events on a city scale. Her musical group Ustinia also appeared, and in 2019 Svetlana won several beauty contests, including the Miss Universe contest. Then only the lazy did not write about her. Someone accused her of excessive abuse of plastic surgery, and someone was simply sincerely happy for a countrywoman who managed to get such an honorary title.
“After 40, my life turned 180 degrees. My business became successful, I began to sing what I like, and I really fell in love with myself,” says Svetlana Isaeva.

After winning the competition, the Beauty Queen got herself an Instagram account, which was immediately followed by several thousand people, most of whom are middle-aged ladies, their story of Svetlana motivates. The author has a mission: she not only talks about the backstage life of royal beauties, but also tells women how to love themselves, shares life hacks and business recommendations. She doesn't publish paid guides or marathons like most popular bloggers, as she tries to fight the stereotype that life ends after 40.
"When I watch TV, Instagram content and everything that happens around, it seems that we (40+ women) simply do not exist. We are neither in the fashion industry, nor in the cosmetics industry. Most of them are young girls. who tell you how to care for your skin, how to make a make-up. It's strange. For example, until I was 35, I never thought about doing something with the skin. I was good in itself, youth and nature My friends, who began their long and thorough (hello, cosmetologists) care at the age of 20, looked like shriveled apples by the age of 35. You need to take care of yourself, but within reasonable limits. I do not hide from anyone, I am 50, I am Miss Universe Classic, which means the title of the most beautiful woman in the world in 2019. I do not have a single plastic surgery. There are facial procedures, but it's normal when an adult woman starts to do them. I want to create my own community of women over 40, create alternative to young content that. There is not a single woman who sees an old woman in the mirror. Believe me, after 40 you also have life and you also want to be beautiful. We are all the same perky girls, only weighed down by experience, wisdom and children. I'm 50 and it's great! Women often hide their age. But now, during the trend for body positivity and self-acceptance, it looks a little strange. Why be ashamed of your age? Isn't this a manifestation of misogyny?"
