TikToker Lindsiann Shi (@lindisiann) is proud of how far she’s come in only a year.

In a video, she began by showing a photo of what she looked like last summer before flashing to a current image of herself.

Last year, with black hair framing her round face, she looked more swollen and washed out than she does today – with a lighter mane and a dewy complexion.

“This is the ultimate guide for glowing the f**k up,” she began.

“Today I’m going to be talking about things that I think made the biggest difference in the past year.”

The best part? They won't cost you much.

SUNSCREEN

The first habit Lindsiann thinks everyone needs to incorporate is wearing sunscreen every day.

“My face was so textured and pigmented because I didn’t wear sunscreen last year.

“But now it’s a lot more even and bright.”

The noticeable change in her complexion, she said, was due to extra protection.

LASH SERUM

Next, she told her followers to start using a lash serum.

While she said the brand RapidLash “changed her life,” she suggested finding one that works for you.

In the photos of herself today, her eyes pop thanks to the slight eyelash enhancement.

WASH YOUR FACE

Although many of us are sometimes tempted to simply hit the hay after a long night out, Lindsiann said you should never do so without washing your face first.

“Don’t go to sleep with crusty makeup on.

“Even if the world feels like a washing machine at 3 AM, at least take off your makeup.

“Wash your face every day.”

MAKEUP

Speaking of makeup, her final piece of advice was to experiment with your look while keeping one thing in mind: “Usually, less is more.”

While the old photos of herself show heavy eyeliner and fake lashes, today she’s much more minimalistic.

“I was my ugliest during my freshman year when I was caking on makeup and lashes every single day.

“It just looks super fake and hides your youth.”

Now, she sticks to glazed skin and a simple eye pop.

Viewers applauded her transformation and advice.
