Lazy Guide to Looking Groomed?

Hi everyone. I've been very lazy with my appearance over lockdown as I am living alone and see very few people. Also realising how much I love being in comfy and casual clothes on a day to day basis so currently shopping for some good quality casuals for when I re-enter the real world! In general, I am not great on day to day grooming but I can't stay looking like I have been dragged through a bush backwards! I am good for proper skincare and in normal times, I used to get a weekly blowdry and shellac every 2-3 weeks. Would love some recommendations on your favourite things to do every so often that can cut down on daily grooming for when I go back to making an effort. I was thinking of microblading/eye lash tinting? I am 33 and use Tret so not botox atm but salon type things I suppose. Hope this post makes sense!

One thing I discovered during lockdown was dying my eyebrows, that makes a huge difference for a month or six weeks with very little effort. Might be worth a try before microblading or anything like that?
I use Just for Men beard dye, it takes a few minutes and really helps my eyebrows 'frame my face'.

Oh thank you so much, going to try that-might make an app to get them shaped first and then give it a go. Currently, they are nothing short of a disgrace!

You can have botox whilst using tret .

My prescribing dermatologist has done my botox and filler before .

I've had microblading and highly recommended .

I am using the Amanda Harrington facial tan . Gives me a fab glow . Expensive but excellent shade range which looks natural and doesn't make me look deathly on video calls
