‘You look so much younger!’ people scream as woman shares epic glow-down after ditching bleached hair & fake lashes
A BEAUTY lover has wowed social media users with her glow-down after totally revamping her appearance.
We all go through phases of experimenting with our appearance and aesthetic – and fitness lover Elly Parsons is no exception.
The UK-based stunner, who celebrated her 29th birthday earlier this year, recently took to TikTok to share how her looks have changed throughout the years – and the makeover has left people open-mouthed.
Just a few years ago, when she was still in her early 20s, the gym babe was sporting bleached locks and thick eyelash extensions – all of which was topped off with tattooed eyebrows.
But fast-forward to 2024 and Elly, who regularly shares wholesome content on her page, looks totally different after swapping the glam look for a more natural glow.
The fit fashionista, who’s since been praised by fellow social media users, now rocks caramel brown hair, no lash extensions and has also decided to say goodbye to the tattooed brows.
Sharing a loved-up snap with her partner, the 29-year-old proudly confessed she no longer felt the ”need for any of it”.
”Someone tell young me we didn’t need it especially as the laser tattoo removal was LONG,” she chuckled in the caption, before admitting that one thing, however, has remained the same.
”Botox forever though.”
According to Elly, who said that her eyebrows ”changed in colour”, it took three long laser tattoo sessions to get rid of the pigment completely.
Meanwhile, for her hair, she revealed in the comments, she asked for ”a Brondey brown to match natural colour” as much as possible.
Needless to say, the epic glow-down has left social media users stunned, as they flocked to comments to share their thoughts.
”You look so much younger!!! Wow! Pop off gorg!” wrote one person, as over a thousand gave it a like.
”Omg love this! You’re so beautiful,” another couldn’t believe the stark difference between the two photos in the video.
”Wow really suits you,” chimed in a third, as others asked Elly for more tips.
Four ways to give yourself a glowdown
Thick fluffly lashes are out, so is the fake tan and long nails...here's how to have the ultimate glow-down in four steps...
The term “glow-down” refers to a woman removing what once was the most popular beauty choices, for a more natural look.
Eyelash extensions – Thick, bold “Russian lashes” used to be all the rage, but nowadays, girls are opt for subtle, individual eyelash extensions to lengthen what they already have.
Nails – Gone are the long, plastic talons, more women are favouring BIAB or gel manis.
Hair colour – Remember when everyone wanted icy white hair? Not anymore! Millions of women are trying to go back to their roots (literally), and have soft blondes, and warm gold tones added to their hair, in a bid to achieve the “old money blonde” look.
Makeup – Sculpting your face shape through the art of contouring is no more. Ladies are adding freckles and sweeping blush across cheekbones instead.
One woman cried: ”My brows have been tattooed on 4 years now and they have not budged and not gonna lie I dislike them.
”I was also the same and now at the age of 36 bother with none of it.”
”You look so classy and timeless now. Gorg both ways,” a kind-hearted viewer penned.
