People say I had a Grow Up, Glow Up when they see the fake tan girl I was and then look at me now

A BEAUTY lover has left people open-mouthed after sharing her jaw-dropping makeover, which also included ditching fake tan.

As we grow and become older, our style preferences tend to change - whether that means embracing a more natural aesthetic or going back to their ''chav'' roots, like it was for one woman, Alicia Bell, 20.

One fashionista who certainly knows a thing or two about this is Bree MacDonald, from the UK.

The stunner, believed to be in her early 20s, was once all about covering her body in fake tan, thick layers of make-up, straightening her hair and a long set of nails.

But at some point, Bree realised that she was tired of the look and decided to totally revamp her appearance, including a brand new makeover of her wardrobe.

The skimpy two-piece sets and shiny heels were swapped for more chic outfits, including elegant maxi skirts paired with a cosy jumper, as well as a smart blazer, she proudly shared on TikTok.

The video also revealed an incredible glow-up in terms of her make-up, which now boasts a simply yet breathtakingly beautiful routine.

These days, Bree, who posts under the username @breemacdonald4, opts for a more natural and elegant look, consisting of a flawless foundation, neat eyebrows, a healthy amount of highlighter, as well as a nude lippy.

Looking at how much she's changed over the years, Bree - who recently got engaged with her partner - said: ''I gutted that B [b**ch] from the inside out.

''I just use a gradual tanning moisturiser every so often to add a healthy glow.''

Keen to start 2024 with a brand new version of yourself? Here's the top tip of advice Bree shared in the comments.

''Trial and error! Try everything and see what works best for you.''

Since being posted on the platform just a few days ago, the clip has already racked up close to a whopping 150k views, with dozens racing to comments to share their thoughts.

Many couldn't get over the glow-up, with one writing: ''Much better.

''I’m not saying she didn’t, she just looks more mature and naturally pretty without trying.''

Someone else agreed, adding: ''So much more beautiful without the tan!

''I ditched tanning myself a few years ago and love seeing this content.''

''Genuinely love seeing stuff like this,'' a third chimed in.

''You look rich in the second pic,'' another fan of the look reckoned.

''You embraced your natural skin tone as well, you look so much happier,'' a fellow beauty fanatic said.

But whilst many praised Bree for loving her natural beauty, not everyone was so kind - and some even thought the glow-up had ''aged'' her.

''You look about 76 in the second pic,'' a cruel troll said.
