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.
Another chimed in: ''I love walking out of the house in no make up nowadays.
''Entered my natural "if you don't like it don't look" era a while back and I've never been happier (and I get a lie in).''
Someone else commented: ''Loved the after much better.''
