To call Ariana Grande just a pop star would be underselling her talent. Before she was a pop icon, Ariana was a tween idol. She starred as the adorably naive Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon's Victorious. Ariana also worked alongside Jennette McCurdy for the show's spin-off, Sam & Cat. She was a Nickelodeon superstar, amassing over 84 million Twitter followers. Besides her talent, the singer is also well-known for being very beautiful and charming.
Although she looks beautiful with makeup and her distinctive high ponytail, fans are obsessed with Ariana's bare face and naturally curly hair. The singer has shared some pictures on social media without makeup. Especially, fans love her dimple and beautiful smile. When she is on her days off, Ariana likes to take a break from cosmetic products and elaborate hairstyles. Even after a long day, the singer always manages to look gorgeous.
Ariana Grande Is Naturally Beautiful Without Makeup
As Ariana had always loved being on stage, many pictures of her when she was younger show her natural beauty. After all, she has grown up in front of the world's eyes. Some old photos of her teen years have emerged. In one of them, she is posing bare-face in front of the mirror.
Another picture from the early days of her career reveals her naturally glowing skin. The singer has loved taking selfies since forever. And luckily for fans, Ariana actively shares them all over her social media.

Nevertheless, the star's evolving public persona influenced a change in her look. After years of straightened red tresses, Ariana became quickly known for her signature high ponytail look.
The 7 Rings singer said she had to bleach and dye her hair every other week for the first four years while playing Cat. So she put in extensions and was exclusively seen in public in a high ponytail or a high half-up-half-down updo. That look has become so iconic that she's almost unrecognizable without it.
Ariana Grande May Be Beautiful Inside And Out
Besides being a successful woman, Ariana has a big heart. As proof of it, she has rescued nine dogs, following the rule of "adopt, don't shop." In December 2019, the pop star launched her nonprofit animal rescue in Los Angeles for cats and dogs. There's no doubt she is beautiful inside out.
Nevertheless, she hasn't escaped from plastic surgery rumors. Some people noticed new changes to Ariana and her body over the last year.
Ariana Grande Has Had Plastic Surgery Rumors
At the beginning of her career as a T.V. star, many people pointed out that maybe she had a nose job. Comparing her pics, she now has much smaller tip cartilages. According to beauty blogger Lorry Hill, Ariana's nose tip has been made substantially smaller. Also, it has been raised upwards.
Hill also suspects that the singer had an endoscopic brow lift where an incision is made within the hairline, and the brows are raised upwards. However, things didn't go as planned, and Ariana's eyebrows ended up looking pretty asymmetrical. On the other hand, some fans claim that Ariana's brows have not changed and that the upward tilt is due to her having a tight ponytail.

To change the singer's genetically round and large eyes to a more almond shape, the beauty expert thinks Ariana had a lateral canthoplasty performed, leaving her eyes more narrow with the corners lifted upwards. Hill also talks about Ariana's natural chin, which is a long pointy one that's also slightly asymmetrical. Although the superstar has never confirmed these rumors, her natural beauty can't be denied.
Ariana Grande's Beauty Line
Ariana has conquered the music industry, made her mark in the acting world, and now she is set to take on the beauty industry as she teased a promo for her beauty brand R.E.M. a couple of weeks ago. In the clip, Ariana can be seen hanging upside down in a 60s-inspire mood outfit while her head is stuck inside a vintage T.V.
After already releasing multiple fragrances, the singer's R.E.M. Beauty appears to be an easy transition as she dished to Allure that the line will consist of makeup products from eyeliners, shadows, and mascara to lipsticks and lip plumpers.
In addition, R.E.M. Beauty's official Instagram account teased even more promo photos from a recent shoot featuring Ariana donning a futuristic Austin Powers "fembot" look with stunning eye makeup and her hair wrapped around her neck in a choker-like fashion. But no long after the shoot was shared to Instagram, many recalled a similar and almost exact photoshoot conducted by Franco Rubartelli of model Veruschka for Vogue from 1968.
While the Positions singer hasn't yet given an explanation for the shoot's inspiration, many have begun jumping to conclusions and accusing her of ripping off the photoshoot from the accessories all the way down to her hair. Given the similarities to the previous shoot, it's pretty clear this tribute was no accident. Fans love Ariana and don't want her to get involved in any controversy affecting her career.
