Selena Gomez voices concern over 'beauty standards'

Selena Gomez recently opened up about her experience with beauty standards and her own cosmetic line, Rare Beauty.

During an interview at TIME100 Summit in NYC, Gomez expressed concern over the unrealistic beauty standards set by the cosmetics industry.

The Who Says hitmaker admitted to being 'terrible' at makeup, despite owning a cosmetic line.

She emphasized that her lack of skills highlights the broader issue of unattainable beauty standards, stating, "Personally, I felt that there’s a very unrealistic standard when it comes to the cosmetic world, and it makes me a little sad for my generation and for anyone to look at something that’s probably touched up and made to look nice."

"I just wanted to break that down. I don’t know how to do makeup, and I have a makeup line. Like, I’m terrible at it," the Wolves singer stated.

Additionally, Gomez stated that her products are designed to enhance, not mask natural beauty.

Gomez added, "We try to be very conscious of even naming the products to be reminders of joy or just finding yourself. So I genuinely just wanted to make makeup that was fun for people. I don’t believe in having to look a certain way. I spent years trying to do that and it just—it’s draining, a waste of time."
