Selena Gomez Shares On Wearing Makeup at a Young Age and its Mental Health Impact
Selena Gomez gets candid about how makeup has impacted her mental health. The “De Una Vez” singer, 29, shared during an interview about how she started doing makeup at seven-years-old, which she believed damaged her mental health.
“I’ve been in makeup since I was seven years old. I feel like that kind of messed with me,” she told ELLE. “You’re so young and then working. I have professionals doing my makeup, and suddenly I can look 25 when I was 16, and it was crazy. Then I felt like, ‘oh, I look too young all the time. I should achieve that look more. I should try that.’ It just made me question my Beauty for what it was.”
“I’ve been a victim to wanting to change my face and do things because I see such like intense trends,” the singer continued. “I think the most rewarding part of creating this line is that we create a place for people who don’t necessarily want to get work done or change their face. They just want to embrace what they are and what they have.”
@selenagomez thank you so much for making a blush that looks natural on the skin. your products have alot of thought and beauty to them, I am absolutely beyond proud of you. You are rare ❤

This led Gomez to launch her makeup line, RARE Beauty.
“Even if you do like to wear more makeup, even that will kind of work with what my brand. That’s why I wanted the brand to be there for girls and guys and whoever to feel like it’s okay to not look like everybody else.”
Selena Gomez understood the assignment with @rarebeauty I’m proud of them
