The singer-songwriter became emotive as she discussed her relationship with beauty in a makeup tutorial video. She stated that aging can be “beautiful.”
Ariana Grande has revealed her use of Botox and lip fillers, which she previously “hid behind”
In a makeup tutorial video for Vogue, the 30-year-old singer-songwriter stated she ceased using the product in 2018.
She used makeup as a “mask” throughout the years, particularly because she began her career “so young.”
“Total transparency… I’ve had a plethora of lip filler and Botox over the years,” she said before becoming emotional.
“For a long time, I felt that beauty was about concealment, but now that I’ve ceased using fillers and Botox, I’m not so sure.
“And maybe I’ll start getting it again one day, I don’t know, to each their own – whatever makes you feel beautiful, I support.”
The 7 Rings vocalist stated that she ceased performing in 2018 because it felt “so much… I just felt like hiding.”
She added, “I hope my smile lines become deeper as I laugh more, and I believe that aging can be such a beautiful thing.”
“Could I receive a facelift in ten years? I might, yes, but these are just thoughts I feel we should be able to discuss.”
Since she was an adolescent, her perspective on beauty has “changed so much,” she said.
“Being exposed to so many voices at such a young age, and especially when people have things to say about your appearance at such a young age, makes it extremely difficult to know what to listen to and what to disregard,” she said.
“However, at age 17, you do not yet understand this.”
It is not the first time Grande has made an appearance-related statement.
Earlier this year, she said in a TikTok video people should be “gentler and less comfortable” about commenting on how other people’s bodies appear.
“If you believe you’re saying something positive or well-intentioned, regardless of whether it’s healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, or non-sexy, we should strive to do so less frequently,” she said.
“There are ways to compliment someone or to ignore something that you don’t like that I believe we should all strive towards… We should strive to make ourselves and each other safer.”
She also discussed her vulnerability, saying, “I was on a lot of antidepressants, drinking on them, and eating poorly, and I was at the lowest point of my life when I appeared to be healthy, but that was not the case.”
