Ariana Grande has made a heartbreaking confession about her relationship with beauty and cosmetic procedures in a recent video.
The clip – that was posted as part of Vogue’s Beauty Secrets series – saw the 7 Rings singer get emotional while revealing why she stopped getting cosmetic injections.
”Full transparency, as a beauty person, as I do my lips, [I’ve] had a tonne of lip filler over the years and Botox.
“I stopped in 2018 because I just felt so … [it was] too much. I just felt like hiding, you know,” she said, choking back tears.

Grande, 30, admitted she “didn’t expect to get emotional”, while sharing her story.
“For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me, and now I feel like maybe it’s not.”
The Thank U Next singer also addressed criticism she’s received about her appearance from an early age.
“I started so young, being exposed to so many voices at a young age especially when people have things to say about your appearance and stuff.
“It becomes really hard to know what’s worth hearing and not. But at 17 you don’t know that yet.”

“I used makeup as a disguise or something to hide behind,” she added.
“I think as I get older, I don’t love that being the intention behind it anymore.”
The emotional video with Vogue comes after the star hit out at body shamers earlier this year.
Taking to TikTok the One Last Time singer addressed fan comments, noting people should feel “less comfortable” commenting on other people’s bodies.

“The body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body. I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly,” she said.
“[I was] at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy, but that in fact wasn’t my healthy.”
She added, “I know I shouldn’t have to explain that. But I do feel like maybe having an openness and some sort of vulnerability here, good might come from it.”
