Hi Lumen, hope you鈥檙e doing well 馃 I have a question, what are some essentials for a physical glow up? I love your advice so I鈥檓 curious on your thoughts
Hi flower,
In my personal experience these 3 things make the most difference for glowing up physically:
1. Lash extensions
Lash extensions can make such a difference! They're a staple in my own look.
I love how they can give an instant "doll" or "princess" or "luxurious" vibe no matter what you're wearing, and considering it takes 1-2 hours to install, it's very time effective and practical.
It instantly elevates any outfit and you always look put together.
In my opinion the best way to use extensions is by going for a "natural but better" look, and using them to complement your face and eyes (important), this can level up your beauty and appearance x10 if done right. You can also go for higher volume, but I find that exagerating/going past 6D is too much and looks offputting to most people.
2. Nails
Nails are also a game-changer, they make or break a "look" when you glance at a woman and she has a manicure that looks put together, it instantly elevates her look.
It doesn't have to be complicated, you can do them yourself regularly or go to a salon, you can stick to neutrals and reds and you'll always look classy! As for shape and length, short to medium is most elegant and pactical, personally I like almond (long) and square shapes (if short).
3. Hair
The third factor that transforms your look is taking care of your hair. Whether your hair is straight, curly, wavy or otherwise, simply following the necessary treatment for it - deep conditioning, brushing it before leaving the house, and hairstyles that complement your face/style/hair type make a big difference, and don't cost a fortune. For instance, sleek straight hair always looks classy. Or a smooth ponytail or bun if you're in a rush. Or if you have big, curly hair you have more options and use the volume to play around for a beautiful look.
In conclusion, when your nails, hair and lashes are done, you immediately give off a more luxurious, feminine vibe (if you have the time and resources of course). Next I would add clear skin (a symbol of beauty, health and wealth as well), and exercise (fitness, dopamine, clear mind, confidence, overall health).
But I found the most effective results and difference in how I feel, and how the world perceives me, based on these three main aspects.
Hope this helps 馃晩
-Lumen
