Alana captioned the post: “these are so freaking cute I’m in love.”

While they were definitely still more dramatic than her natural lashes, fans seemed pleased with her new, more toned-down look.

The reality star has become known for wearing over-the-top lashes, heavy makeup, and long fake nails.

TOO MUCH?

In August, she came under fire for her look after releasing exclusive photos of her from an event.

Alana showed off her extreme lashes while she signed merchandise and posed for selfies with fans.

The teen reality star sported heavy black eyelashes along with a black t-shirt and a yellow ruffle skirt.

She also showed off pink and white long nails with rhinestones on the tips. 

She was joined at the event by her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, older sister Lauryn “Pumpkin“, Efird, 22, and mother Mama June Shannon.

A month earlier, she faced similar backlash from fans over another set of pics.

EYE-CATCHING

Alana took to social media to share a snap beside her sister Pumpkin.

Pumpkin was standing beside a stroller occupied by one of her newborn twins.

Both sisters wore plain logo t-shirts, bike shorts, and tennis shoes.

Alana kept it simple with a make-up-free face and her hair up in a bun.

She captioned her post: “We got invited to Fat Sal’s Deli last night and it was delicious! First visit and we’ll definitely be going back when we’re in town.”

Now that Alana is going out with a fresh face, one fan commented: “Alana, you look amazing!”

A third posted: “Gorgeous ladies.”
