Only a handful of celebrities openly admit to using fillers either for anti-aging or lip fullness. Ariana Grande joined that select group, admitting to her use of fillers and how she uses beauty to ‘hide’ her actual self.
In a recent video, Ariana spoke about how her relationship with beauty has evolved since her rise to pop stardom. She talked about how, when she first entered the industry, there were multiple voices telling her to change her appearance. Unable to differentiate between valuable advice and toxic inputs at that naïve age, Ariana confessed to using makeup as a disguise and hide behind it.
While she continues to have appreciation for beauty and makeup, such as her love for her voluminous hair and thick eyebrows, over the years, she now views it as a kind of self-expression and technique to enhance her inherent beauty.
Ariana shared that she stopped getting fillers and Botox in 2018, because the whole process was overwhelming her. She reveals that she isn’t opposed to resuming cosmetic enhancements in the future, as long as it makes her feel confident and beautiful. She expressed her desire to see her well-earned cry and smile lines, as well as her grin lines develop and she laughs more and more.
