I had a major glow-up in seven years – people call me ‘beautiful’ but everyone is saying the same thing
OVER the course of seven years, an influencer had a stunning transformation.
Her astounding glow-up looked impressive, but one drastic change left fans and strangers concerned.
Today, TikTok star Liv Ralph (@llivrallph) looks like the ideal image of a social media influencer.
But Ralph, now 25, looked very different years ago. She created a montage video that documented her dramatic transformation.
From 2015 to 2022, lots of things changed in Ralph’s life, and her appearance shifted in tandem.
She swapped darker curls for lightened blonde locks, which brightened her face.
According to one video on her page, gastric sleeve surgery helped her to lose over 70 pounds.
Ralph also changed her makeup style, and now wears thin brows and a high-glam look complete with plump lips and full lashes.
Some viewers were wowed by the transformation. After all, there was no denying Ralph looked gorgeous.
“Stunning,” wrote one admirer.
Another said the change took years off Ralph’s face. “Looks like you got younger,” she wrote.
“Wow, girl, that’s a GLOW-UP,” said a third fan.
But most viewers noticed another thing that disappeared over the seven years of photos.
“Are you okay? Where’d the smile go?” one concerned viewer asked.
“Her face went from smiley to not smiley,” another agreed.
Some viewers had theories about why Ralph’s smile disappeared.
“Stopped smiling when you realized people now treat you differently,” one wrote, referring to others’ attitudes after Ralph’s weight loss.
“I got so sad watching this,” a viewer admitted. “Love you and take care babe.”
A few people defended Ralph against accusations of unhappiness or dissatisfaction.
“Y’all think you know how happy she is from a few two-second videos,” an irritated fan wrote, throwing in skull emojis to express their exasperation.
Others addressed Ralph directly.
“You were always beautiful,” a woman told her. “It’s okay to be yourself.”
A second fan encouraged her, saying, “You’re not just your beauty, though.”
“You’re the determination, the focus, and the mental strength that got you to your goal,” he said.
