For a long time, makeup and hairstyle were tools of defense for Ariana Grande. a way to hide from others and distance yourself from reality, almost as if he were playing a character. That’s why he used Botox and fillers extensively, which he stopped using in 2018, “because I felt… too much! It was like I was hiding,” the 30-year-old singer admitted in the Vogue Beauty Secrets video. where she shared her makeup rituals and talked about her attitude to beauty. “Over the years, I used makeup as a disguise or something to hide behind, and I did the same with my hair, getting bigger and bigger. And then the eyeliner line gets thicker and thicker, which can be nice sometimes, and I still do that.”
Unable to hold back her tears (“who expected me to be so emotional”), Grande then added that the reason for her behavior was because she was came into the limelight as a teenager. “When you’re young and you’re exposed to so many different opinions, when everyone’s talking about your looks and stuff like that, it’s really hard to know what’s worth listening to and what’s not. When you’re 17, you don’t really know, and for that matter, you don’t know now.” However, once she gained more confidence, her attitude towards makeup also changed. “I don’t like that dressing up is the end goal of makeup. Now I look at it as self-expression and highlighting what is, because it’s no secret that all we want is to feel our best and be loved.” Although she has been using needles for five years, she doesn’t want to judge those who still use them.
“Anything that makes you feel beautiful, I approve. But for me, I hope my crow’s feet get deeper and deeper and I think aging can be a really beautiful thing. This doesn’t mean I won’t be able to get a facelift in ten years., but these are just thoughts that we should be able to discuss, and since we are talking about the secrets of beauty here, we might as well tell each other everything.” Grande then shared some stills from the film on her Instagram account, admitting that she’s never been more nervous and that she definitely didn’t have the best makeup, “but I had a lot of fun. Thank you Vogue for accepting me and letting me express my cancer emotions.”
