While it took years for Ariana Grande to get candid about what she does in the name of beauty, it was a move that many of her fans seemed to appreciate. In a video for Vogue’s “Beauty Secret” series, Grande showed fans a play-by-play of how she usually dolls herself up (dramatic cat eye, anyone?) and then opened up about how she once used makeup to conceal her flaws. She also confessed to battling insecurities in the past, which led her to opt for lip fillers and Botox to hide her perceived imperfections.
“I’ve had a ton of lip filler over the years, Botox — I stopped in 2018 because I just felt so — too much,” she said as she held back tears. “I just felt like hiding, you know? For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me, and now I feel like maybe it’s not.” She went on to share her newfound perspective, saying she has learned to appreciate her “well-earned cry lines and smile lines” because, for her, “aging is such a beautiful thing.” She even revealed that she remains open to getting procedures again years down the line. “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.”

Grande’s fans applauded her for her candor, as most celebrities aren’t as open. “I’ve never heard any celeb talk about getting lip filler and Botox so freely and transparently and I love it!” one fan commented.
