The UK-based beauty, who celebrated her 29th birthday earlier this year, recently took to TikTok to show off how her appearance has changed over the years, and the makeover has left people in awe.
Just a few years ago, in her early 20s, this fitness babe sported bleached locks and thick eyelash extensions, complemented by tattooed eyebrows.
But let’s fast forward to 2024 and Elly, who regularly shares healthy content on her pagelooks completely different after you trade in the glamorous look for a more natural glow.
The fit fashionista, who has since been praised by other users on social media, now has caramel brown hair, no eyelash extensions and has decided to say goodbye to her tattooed eyebrows.
The 29-year-old shared a loving photo with her partner and proudly admitted that she no longer felt the need for it.
“Someone tell me we don’t need it, especially since laser tattoo removal takes a LONG time,” she laughed in the caption, before admitting that one thing has remained the same.
“But Botox lasts forever.”
According to Elly, who said her eyebrows “changed color,” it took three long laser treatments to completely remove the pigment.
Meanwhile, in the comments, she indicated that she wanted her hair to be as close to “a Brondey brown color as possible to match her natural hair color.”
Needless to say, the epic glow-down left social media users stunned, as they took to the comments en masse to share their thoughts.
”You look so much younger!!! Wow! Cool!” someone wrote, while over a thousand people liked it.
“Omg I love this! You are so beautiful,” another couldn’t believe the difference between the two photos the video.
“Wow, that really suits you,” said a third, while others asked Elly for more tips.
Four Ways to Give Yourself a Glowdown
Thick, fluffy lashes are out, as are fake tan and long nails… here’s how to get the ultimate glow-down in four steps…
The term “glow-down” refers to a woman removing her makeup from what was once the most popular beauty choice, for a more natural look.
Eyelash extensions – Thick, bold “Russian lashes” used to be all the rage, but today girls are opting for subtle, individual eyelash extensions to lengthen their existing lashes.
Nails – The long, plastic claws are gone, more and more women prefer BIAB or gel-manis.
Hair colour – Remember when everyone wanted ice-cold white hair? Not anymore! Millions of women are trying to go back to their roots (literally) and add soft blondes and warm golds to their hair in an attempt to achieve the “old money blonde” look.
To think – Contouring your face shape is a thing of the past. Instead, women are adding freckles and sweeping blush across their cheekbones.
One woman cried: “I’ve had my eyebrows tattooed for four years now and they still haven’t gone away. And I won’t lie, I don’t like them.”
“I used to be like that too and now, at the age of 36, it doesn’t bother me at all anymore.”
“You look so stylish and timeless right now. Gorgeous both ways,” wrote one kind-hearted viewer.
