As a surprise for my fans, Grande tellsAllure,her voice sweet and lightly fried.
She felt strange, traveling across a decade of pop stardom in the space of a weekend.
Its like, I was so young, she says.

But I knew exactly what I wanted.
Instead, the one thing shereallywanted to discuss was the newSweetener Foundationfrom her makeup line, r.e.m.
beauty, which launches August 24.

Allurefirst met Grandein 2021, when she launched r.e.m.
beauty, the result of a licensing deal with the beauty incubator Forma Brands.
Recently, Grande bought back all of r.e.m.
I love her so much, Grande said.
And, yeah, those things are always really tricky, but it was all very loving and respectful.
Everyone wants what’s best for r.e.m.
She also emphasizes its skin-friendly ingredients, includingniacinamideand a smoothing mix of silicones,squalane, andglycerin.
It feels good to know that I’ll be able to dig in a little bit more.
In celebration of r.e.m.s latest launch, Grande submitted herself generously toAllures rapid-fire beauty questionnaire, Just Asking.
I’ma Cancer: watery, must be submerged as long, as often as possible.
Allure: Whats the most weirdly specific part of your beauty routine?Grande:My button-nose contour.
I put a little stripe here [gestures to the tip of her nose].
Sometimes it’s way too visible.
It’s so cute to me.
Maybe five minutes if I do it well.
Allure: What was your happiest hair moment?Grande:…Well, there are two answers.
I really am fond of that ponytail.
And then alsoGalindas hair.
Allure: Whats the most unexpected item in your makeup bag?Grande:Maybe my contact lenses?
I still always squint anyway, so people don’t think I’m wearing them.
[Laughs] But I’ve been wearing contacts for years, I promise.
Allure: Whats your favorite beauty tip to ignore?Grande:All of them.
I feel like beauty is specific to oneself.
And there are no trends that it’s crucial that you do or not do.
It’s all about whatever feels best.
This one I knew I wanted to get for a very long time.
This is my most recent one.
I waited forever to fill up this hand.
Allure: How do you apply fragrance?Grande:Drench my entire self.
Like, shiny chest, like, literally wet chest.
I am not kidding.
And I do not stop applying.
