Ariana Grande has revealed that over the years she has been guilty of ‘hiding’ behind Botox and a ‘tonne’ of lip filler.
The ‘Thank U, Next’ singer has recently opened up regarding her previous beauty procedures as well as confirming why she stopped having cosmetic treatments.
In a new Vogue Beauty Secrets video, Grande prefaced the chat by saying that she wanted to be totally honest with her fans before indulging in her beauty regime.

"Full transparency... As a beauty person, as I do my lips, I've had a tonne of lip filler over the years and Botox,” she admitted.
"For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me. And now I feel like maybe it’s not since I stopped getting fillers and Botox.”
Appearing to get a little teary, the 30-year-old said that she ‘stopped in 2018 because I just felt so… too much’ and that the decision was made because she wanted to see her ‘well-earned cry lines and smile lines’.
“I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more. I just think ageing can be such a beautiful thing,” she continued.
Despite denouncing injections five years ago, Grande further stated that she may not have fully closed on cosmetic proceeders forever.
"Now, might I get a facelift in ten years? I might, yeah!,” she said.
“But these are just thoughts I feel like we should be able to discuss. If we're talking about beauty secrets, f*** it. Let's lay it all out there.”
Elsewhere in the Vogue video, the actor - who is due to play Glinda the Good Witch in the film adaptation of Wicked - said that her relationship with beauty has changed as she’s gotten older.
“I feel like my relationship to beauty has changed so much over the years especially because I started so young,” she stated.
“I, over the years, used makeup as a disguise or as something to hide behind and more and more and more hair, more and more thicker eyeliner...and that can be so beautiful at times.
“And I still do have love for it and appreciation for it, but I think as I get older, I don't love that being the intention behind it anymore. I think of it as self-expression now and accentuating what is here.”
The star concluded by saying that her relationship with beauty is ‘personal’ and questioned whether everyone just wants to ‘feel our best and be loved’.
Posting about the content on her Instagram profile, Grande told her 379million social media followers that she was ‘nervous’ about the beauty video.
Sharing a selection of screenshots from the video, she wrote: “most nervous I’ve been in so long and definitely not the best I’ve ever done my (sic) make-up but had a very lovely time :).
“Thank you for having me @voguemagazine and for making space for my very Cancerian humanness.”
At the time of writing Wicked: Part One is slated for a theatrical release on November 27, 2024, by Universal Pictures.
Grande is set to star alongside Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey and Tony Award-winning actor Cynthia Erivo.
