I used to wear thick fake lashes and 12 layers of fake tan – but my new look is so much better

A beauty fan who posts product tips and reviews on TikTok has revealed that she has brought back her look and is much happier with her more natural glow.

Scotland-based Erica Roberts, who often reviews foundations and other beauty products for her followers, posted a then-and-now video to her channel.

In the video, she posted an old photo of herself wearing a pearl necklace with what appears to be a Vivienne Westwood planet pendant.

Her hair is dark brown, with caramel highlights and blow-dried in a straight style, and she appears to have extensions on her lashes.

In the next photo, she has darker hair, wears less makeup, and has a lighter complexion, alluding to the fact that she no longer wears fake tan.

Captioning the old photo, she wrote, “Me after achieving highlights, thick fake lashes and 12 coats of fake tan is not for me.”

While the brunette beauty has changed her look to a more natural glow, Erica did admit in her video, “I do miss a full glam look every once in a while.”

Commenting on her video, one person said, “I love this trend, of course looks better every time.”

However, one person said they thought the transformation wasn’t real and the older photo was just done with a filter.

In response to the accusation, Erica said, “There is no filter, don’t be bitter.”

In other videos, Erica shows off getting ready for an average day and recently posted a GRWM (get ready with me) clip of her preparing to hit the gym.

In the clip, she applies foundation and contouring bronzer, as well as lipstick and mascara, and jokes, “I work out better when I’m pretty.”

She also recently posted a clip of her meticulously prepping her face and applying mascara where she revealed that she uses an eyelash separator, an eyelash curler and then mascara.

Erica joked, “I’m a perfectionist with these lashes.”
