Ariana Grande has admitted using lip filler and Botox in a bid to ‘hide’.
Speaking in a Vogue Beauty Secrets video, Grande said: ‘Full transparency... As a beauty person, as I do my lips, I've had a tonne of lip filler over the years and Botox.’
‘For a long time beauty was about hiding for me,’ the Into You performer added. ‘And now I feel like maybe it's not.’

Grande, who is set to star alongside Cynthia Erivo in the film adaptation of Wicked, admitted that she stopped using filler and Botox in 2018 because she felt it was ‘too much’, adding she wanted to ‘see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines’.
The star, who founded her own beauty brand r.e.m. beauty in 2021, appeared to get emotional while saying that while 'ageing is such a beautiful thing', she wouldn't be against getting other procedures in the future. 'Now, might I get a facelift in 10 years?,' she joked. 'I might, yeah!'
This isn't the first time the former Nickelodeon star has been frank about her appearance. Earlier this summer, Grande posted a video to her TikTok in response to concern among her fans of her appearance and perceived weight loss.
'I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on people’s bodies no matter what,' Grande said. 'There are ways to compliment someone, or to ignore something that you see that you don’t like, that I think we should help each other work towards. We should aim toward being safer and keeping each other safer.'
