Ariana Grande has revealed that she's stopped using botox and fillers in an emotional makeup tutorial video for Vogue.

In the video, Ariana explains that she struggled with her appearance when she first rose to fame and used to use makeup as a way to cover up her insecurities.

She said: "I over the years used makeup as a disguise or something to hide behind. As I get older, I don't love that being the intention behind it. I think of it as self-expression and accentuating what is here."

Ariana then speaks candidly about her relationship with cosmetic surgery and why she's stopped having procedures done.

In the video, Ariana says she couldn't do a beauty video without being honest about work she has had done in the past. She admitted: "Full transparency as a beauty person, I've had a ton of lip filler over the years and botox. I stopped in 2018 cause I felt so - too much." This is the first time that Ariana has ever spoken about having fillers and botox.

Tearing up, Ariana then added: "Didn't expect to get emotional. For a long time beauty was about hiding for me and now I feel like maybe it's not." She then made clear that she thinks people should do whatever makes them feel beautiful.

As for why she stopped having botox and fillers, Ariana said she wants to see her "well-earned cry lines and smile lines". She said: "I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more...I just think aging can be such a beautiful thing."

However, she also quipped: "Now, might I get a face life in 10 years, I might yeah?" Iconic.
