Adele is reflecting on a major year. The singer shared her gratitude in a brand new Instagram post celebrating her 34th birthday, featuring her fresh face.

"What a difference a year makes!" the "Easy On Me" artist captioned the snaps. "If time keeps healing and smoothing out all the creases in my life like it does as the years fly by, then I can’t wait to be 60!"

"I’ve never been happier!" she added. "So many lessons, so many blessings to be grateful for. This is 34, and I love it here!Thank you for the birthday love as always x."

Fans sent plenty of support Adele's way: "PERFECTION 💫 🪐 hbd queen 🥳," one user wrote. "❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍," another comment read.

So, just how does Adele crank up the glow factor? She revealed in a YouTube video last year that, over quarantine, she embraced some DIY beauty hacks that upped her confidence.

"I love a brow. But also if I don't dye my brows—like these are dyed—I look like Voldemort," she said. "They go so pale and blonde!"

When she couldn't see a professional anymore, Adele decided to try dying her eyebrows herself. "One day I did a load of research, watched a YouTube video [and] ordered all the products on Amazon. I do it once a week on my own now," she explained.

And, that classic Adele winged eyeliner has been a must-have for years. "I just like a good eyeliner, like a liquid cat eye. A good contoured eye," she said, adding, "I just feel like it's my staple."

Of course, Adele's on-stage beauty routine usually has a few more steps than just a quick wing. "I'd say it's at least two hours. Sometimes it can creep up to three," she said of the full glam process, from start to finish.

When she's not performing, Adele sticks with a few basic products she really loves. "If I have my hair out natural it's quite wavy and curly. So I'll do that," she said. "I'll literally just put on Charlotte Tilbury [Hollywood Flawless Filter], that glowy thing and then I put a really nice bronze highlight pretty much all over my face. I look like I just walked off the beach."

Easy and effortless—yep, I can get on board with that. Here's to another great year, Adele!
