AI Glow Up How ChatGPT Transformed One Womans Look
TikToker's AI-Powered Glow-Up Goes Viral
A woman has captured significant online attention after sharing how she used ChatGPT to completely transform her appearance—all without the hefty price tag of professional stylists. TikTok creator Marina, known by her handle @marinagudov, demonstrated her AI-assisted journey to refine her personal style, skincare, makeup, and more. Her video detailing the process, which she dubbed "the best discovery of 2025," quickly garnered over 427,000 views and thousands of likes.
Starting Point: AI-Driven Color and Hair Analysis
Marina's transformation began with a simple step: uploading a makeup-free selfie taken in natural light. She asked ChatGPT to perform a color analysis. The AI identified her as fitting into the "cool to true summer" category, suggesting that cool-toned shades would best complement her cooler undertones.
Following this, Marina uploaded a photo of her hair roots, inquiring about the most suitable hair color for her skin tone and face shape. The AI recommended she stick close to her natural hair color, noting its inherently cool tones. To choose a specific style, Marina presented five hair inspiration photos from Pinterest to ChatGPT. Based on its suggestion—a photo of Margot Robbie with a light brunette and blonde ombré—she opted for a semipermanent hair color. Marina mentioned she's planning another application to further reduce warmth, already feeling the new tone better suits her face than her previous blonde look.
Revamping the Makeup Bag with ChatGPT's Help
Next on the agenda was her makeup collection. "I uploaded literally every single piece of makeup that I own," Marina shared, including swatches of lip liners and contours. ChatGPT's analysis concluded that most of her existing products were warm-toned and therefore not ideal for her complexion.
Marina then tasked the AI with sorting through her collection, advising which items to keep and which to discard. She requested precise recommendations for new lip products, contour, eye shadow, and foundation—complete with details on shade, brand, and where to purchase them. Furthermore, she asked ChatGPT to design a custom eye shadow look tailored to her eye shape and coloring.
AI Stylist: From Eyelashes to Wardrobe Choices
Marina even utilized the AI to optimize her eyelash extensions. By uploading photos of her eyes and current lashes, she received advice on the most flattering lash shape for her features. She also inquired which celebrity she most resembled, aiming to mimic their makeup techniques to enhance her own features.
Wardrobe advice was next. After Marina uploaded photos of her closet, ChatGPT suggested the best colors for her, advising her to favor muted tones, especially purples and blues. With a wedding on the horizon, she followed the AI's recommendation—based on a photo of her wrist—to choose a lilac dress and a particular spray tan shade, options she wouldn't have considered otherwise. "I loved it so much and I got so many compliments on it," Marina enthused.
Holistic Makeover: AI for Skincare and Fitness
Her AI-guided transformation extended beyond beauty and fashion. Marina revealed she had been using ChatGPT for skincare and body care advice as well. She shared photos illustrating her sensitive skin, KP bumps, and cystic acne, receiving personalized recommendations for products like urea cream, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid. The AI helped her fine-tune her routine to minimize redness and irritation, even suggesting which existing products to continue using or remove.
In January, Marina incorporated ChatGPT into her fitness journey. She provided information about her body, weight, health concerns, and fitness goals. In response, the AI generated a comprehensive workout plan, meal suggestions, and dietary adjustments. "Honestly, it's been such a game changer," she remarked.
The Verdict: A "Game Changer" Personal Assistant
Marina stated she pays $14 a month for the AI service and consults ChatGPT frequently, sometimes asking up to 200 questions a day, treating it like a personal assistant. "It has been so useful. You just get to a point that you ask it literally everything. Honestly, love it," she concluded.
Online Reactions: Inspiration and Skepticism
TikTok users were quick to share their thoughts and experiences with similar AI beauty hacks.
One user commented, "I had my color analysis professionally done, just asked ChatGPT and it gave me the complete opposite, lmao. I'm gonna trust the in-person consultation because there's no way in hell I am a summer."
Another shared a positive experience: "I saw your hair transformation and it makes such a difference. It told me I was a soft autumn."
A particularly enthusiastic user wrote, "Your blonde look was of course gorgeous but not unique—but THIS hair and makeup—you look EXPENSIVE and your eyes POP!!! I also love a muted berry lip. ChatGPT is a real one for this."
Another viewer added, "Your transformation is so inspiring! Literally, you are glowing, and that hair color suits you so perfectly. Thank you for not gatekeeping and sharing those tips."
