These People Are Sharing Their ‘Glow-Down’ Pictures
There was a trend going around Twitter for a while that involved people posting pictures of their glow-ups. Basically, they were posting awkward pictures of themselves from middle school next to gorgeous pictures of themselves now.
"Glow-down" pictures are for people who went the other way. These people used to be hot, and now, they're, well, not.
A Classic Glow-Up
This is a picture of a young lady who glowed up. She was an awkward girl in high school with round glasses and braces and bangs that didn't suit her face, and now she's a smoke show. The same can't be said for the other people on this list.
The Girl Who Started It All
This is @gabslife99 on the popular video app Tik Tok. She started the glow-down hashtag on the platform. She wanted to see people who peaked in high school and then went down from there in the physical appearance department.
She Asked And They Delivered
A lot of people were inspired by @gabslife99's hashtag and challenge. They used her audio and created some Tik Toks of their own. This girl has changed a lot since she was in high school.
Still Cute, Though
This girl, who goes by @taylor_liiight on Tik Tok, posted a video response to @gabslife99's challenge. We think she still looks pretty cute now, though. The glasses are kind of working for her.
Her Wedding Day
This Tik Tok user responded to the glow-down challenge with a photo of herself from her wedding. She was absolutely stunning on the day she got married. Now, well, she's fine.
Makeup Does A Lot
This girl also responded to the challenge on Tik Tok. She posted a video in which she shared a picture of her in full glam makeup from back when she was in high school.
Chilling On The Beach
This girl used to be super tanned. She used to have long, flowing hair and a figure that wouldn't quit. Now she's wearing a blue sweater and it looks like she hasn't seen the sun in a while.
Angles Matter
We're not sure if this girl is actually glowed down now, or if this is just a really bad picture of her. It's probably just taken from a really awkward angle.
A Real Model
This girl looks like a real-life model. At least, she looks like a model in the photo on the left. We're not sure what's going on in the photo on the right.
Take It All Off
This girl sure has changed since she went to her high school prom. She's not wearing as much makeup, for one thing. She's also rocking a housecoat instead of a prom dress.
A Little Older Now
This girl doesn't look that much different from what she looked like when she was in high school. She just looks like she's gotten a bit older. It's okay. It happens to everyone.
No Hair, Don't Care
This guy used to have a head full of gorgeous curls. Now he has no hair at all. It does look like his lack of hair is his own choosing. At least he can grow it back.
Before...
This is what Tik Tok user @crackvibeonly looked like on the day of her high school graduation. We think she looks pretty darn cute. That choker necklace was a great choice.
...After
Well, she certainly looks different. We don't know what caused her to change so dramatically, but at least she is being a good sport about the whole situation. She's basically roasting herself on Tik Tok.
Another Before Picture
This is Caitlyn. Caitlyn looks absolutely gorgeous in this picture. Her hair is so shiny and wavy and her eyebrows are on fleek. This girl is going places. Read on to see what she looks like now.
Caitlyn Now
This is what Caitlyn looks like now. We think she looks pretty comfortable in those yoga pants and that oversized sweater. Even if it's a glow-down, we think she's still cute.
What A Looker
We're about to see what this girl looks like in the present day (which can't be good if the term "glow-down" is being used), but in this picture, she looks super pretty.
Not Too Shabby
Well, she's not wearing as much makeup and her hair is pulled back, but she has so much natural beauty that she couldn't be ugly if she tried. This isn't a glow-down, it's more of a glow-adjacent.
Supermodel Looks
If you could choose your facial features out of a catalog, I think a lot of us would choose to look like this girl. This girl is attractive and she knows it.
Gone Goth
Well, she still has good bone structure, but the black hair and oversized T-shirt are...different. She probably could still look like she did in high school if she really tried.
A Little Black Dress
Here's a picture of a Tik Tok user trying on a slinky black dress in a fitting room looking as gorgeous as ever. We think that dress is stunning on her, and we hope she bought it.
A Little Later
This is what that same Tik Tok user looks like now. She might me a little more thicc now, but why does that have to be a bad thing? Her makeup is poppin'.
Lady In Red
This girl looks like Jessica Rabbit in her blue jeans and bold red spaghetti strap top. Her hair also looks super healthy and bouncy. Let's take a look at what she looks like now...
A Few Years Later
In this picture, that same girl is wearing a sweaty gym shirt and sweatpants. She looks super tired. She's representing the University of Liverpool well, though. They probably appreciate the promo.
Prince William Then And Now
It turns out, celebrities glow down too. They're just like us! Take a look at this picture of Prince William as a teenager next to the picture of him now.
A Little Different Now
This Reddit user is also a Tinder user, and when he uses Tinder, he uses the picture of himself on the left. That is not a current picture. The picture on the right is more recent.
Yasmeen Bleeth Then And Now
It's been years since Yasmeen Bleeth played Caroline Holden on the hit show Baywatch. She looks a lot different now, but we think she's carrying her age well. She's still a babe.
