In her latest video, Ariana Grande explained why her crying and laughing lines will be more accentuated. The pop singer did a video for Vogue where she had an honest and emotional conversation about beauty.
Grande dropped the bombshell that she has had countless filler and Botox injections in the past. The singer said she turned to these cosmetic procedures because she needed to hide the real her.
However, at some point, she concluded that it was time to stop because she realized that she was going too far. During the confessions, Ariana Grande found herself on the verge of tears.
She said in Vogue‘s Beauty Secrets YouTube: “Full transparency, as a beauty person, as I do my lips, [I’ve] had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox. I stopped in 2018 because I just felt so … [it was] too much. I just felt like hiding, you know.”
As she pushed back against the tears, the former child actress told her fans that she used makeup and other beauty treatments to hide.
She explained: “I didn’t expect to get emotional. For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me, and now I feel like maybe it’s not since I stopped getting fillers and Botox. I am embracing my well-earned cry lines and smile lines.”
Grande continued with the transparency by admitting that, in the future, she might feel the need to have a facelift or go back to using Botox.
She stated: “[Aging] can be such a beautiful thing. Now might I get a facelift in 10 years? Might, yeah, but these are just thoughts that I feel like we should be able to discuss. If we’re sitting here talking about beauty secrets, f— it, let’s lay it all out there.”
Grande explained that her self-confidence took a hit after hearing so many comments about her appearance at a very young age.
She confessed: “Being exposed to so many voices at a young age, and especially when people have, like, things to say about your appearance and stuff at a young age, it’s really hard to know what’s worth hearing and not.”
However, in the past few years, her relationship with makeup and beauty has changed; she does not use products to hide, but to express herself and to highlight the beauty that is already there.
She said: “I think as I get older, I don’t love that being the intention behind it anymore,” she confessed. “I think of it as self-expression now and accentuating what is here. Our relationships to beauty are so personal. Like, we’re here talking about beauty secrets. Isn’t the secret that we all just wanna feel our best and be loved?”
Grande’s fans say they understand her journey.
