In a recent Vogue beauty secrets video, Ariana Grande opened up about getting lip fillers and Botox in the past. The 30-year-old singer shared that she stopped getting injectables in 2018 and has changed her perspective on beauty.
Grande said she started cosmetic procedures at a young age and used make-up as a disguise. Over time, her views evolved and she no longer wants beauty intentions to involve hiding. The R.E.M. Beauty founder now sees make-up as self-expression.
Though Grande may get facelifts later in life, she currently wants to embrace natural aging. She hopes to see her laugh lines and other signs of maturity increase. Grande stated, “I think aging can be such a beautiful thing.”
The candid star wants to normalize discussions around beauty procedures. She reflected that getting “too much” filler made her feel like hiding. Grande is open to cosmetics again but feels confident barefaced.
Grande’s music career took off as a teen. She recognizes being exposed to public scrutiny about looks at a young age impacted her. Now more settled in her identity, Grande defines beauty on her own terms.
