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.

“You look incredible girl!!!” praised one, while a second enthused: “Okay SLAY!”

A third commented: “Wow go you…you look beautiful.”

Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “What a transformation.”

A further added: “Wow natural beauty!”

Speaking of the overwhelmingly positive comments she’s received, Lydia says: “They are so lovely and kind very thoughtful as social media can be horrible at times but everyone was so nice.”
