Ariana Grande gave an intimate glimpse into her beauty journey during a recent episode of Vogue’s Beauty Secrets. While showing her skincare and makeup routines, the singer addressed her experiences with cosmetic enhancements and her evolving perspective on beauty standards.
A revelation by Ariana Grande
Grande revealed that she had undergone “a ton of lip filler over the years” along with Botox treatments. However, she made a significant decision to discontinue these procedures in 2018, driven by a sense of feeling overwhelmed and the belief that she was concealing herself behind these cosmetic enhancements. She said “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.”

She emphasized the deeply personal nature of beauty and self-acceptance and expressed her desire to embrace her natural beauty, including her “well-earned cry lines and smile lines.”
