We know it's not fair. You're already depressed and your ex still gets the last laugh because you're looking less put together than usual. But help is on the way. Since we're all about making sure you're alright in every way possible, we're sharing the 5 steps to look better than great after your breakup. Get ready to look your best, feel even better, and rise above just like J-Law at the Oscars!
1. GET BEAUTIFIED
Although you might still be feeling like your heart just got stomped on, it doesn't hurt to give yourself a treat to slightly take the pain away. Try going for a much needed massage!

Have some fun with your nails while you're at it and try the nail art tutorial you've been wanting to do!
And since it's not really advisable to take out everything you're feeling on your hair (that means no post-breakup haircut—do we need to remind you about the worst things that can happen?), why don't you just change up your hairstyle by sporting the latest hair braid or top bun?
You might not be feeling back-to-normal just yet, but you'll slowly start giving yourself some love with how good you're starting to look.

2. WORK IT OUT
Working out releases endorphins—and endorphins make you happy! It's pretty much as simple as that. Plus, shedding off a few unwanted pounds is definitely a good bonus too.
Because how can you lose when you're starting to look your best while getting fit and healthy? And, believe us when we tell you this, even the simplest of workouts can have you feeling a lot better because of all the good and happy energy. Just take a look at her!

Starting to feel better yet? Add to all that positive energy by going on a shopping spree with your bestie! It can definitely do wonders for your heartbroken soul.
Don't you even dare feel guilty about the endless bags, shoes, and dresses you end up buying. You've been through quite a lot, so you deserve this! #treatyoself
