Jake Oakley on Glow Up

In episode 1 of Glow Up (May 14th), Jake candidly opened up about his teenage years and said that he wasn’t happy and not in “a very nice place” at the time. However, he said that make-up didn’t entirely change his life – instead, it added extra glow and glamour to what he already has.

Jake explained:

I just wanted to be slim, I wanted to be blonde, I wanted to be tanned. I just wanted to be the exact opposite of what I was, really.

Now he’s happy about his look and revealed what his daily mantra is: “I like to get myself to the mirror real quick and I say, ‘You’re talented and your brain is big’.”

Well, that’s the way to go!
