Ariana Grande has been treating us a lot this year. With the recent release of her seventh studio album, eternal sunshine, we’ve been gifted with top hits such as “we can’t be friends (wait for your love)” and another trending song titled “bye,” which have been all over the charts since the album’s release. In addition, her newest music video with Evan Peters has been trending, and recently the top hits have been in her hand.
While Ariana knows her way in the music industry, she also has a sense of beauty. Ariana’s empire, R.E.M. Beauty, has a bunch of newly released powder blushes and bronzers, a setting mist, and brushes, but there’s more to come. Here’s a timeline of what’s new and what’s coming up from the out-of-this-world sci-fi brand, R.E.M. Beauty.
out now: HYPERNOVA SATIN MATTE BRONZERS
The newly released hypernova satin matte bronzer is a perfect silky, soft bronzer if you want a little bit of warmth added to your face. The formula of the powder bronzer is matte and has pigments that will melt within the skin for a sun-kissed look. The bronzer powder retails for $25.00 and comes in six shades to choose from.
out now: hypernova satin matte blush
Similar to the bronzer, the newly released hypernova satin matte is silky and soft but gives you a pop of pink flush to your cheeks. There are eight gorgeous, highly-pigmented shades, including a cool-toned pink shade, a bright hot pink, a soft rose, a warmed-toned pink, a bright vibrant orange, along with a softer peachy orange shade, a warm golden auburn and lastly, a soft rosy bronze shade.
You can also create an ombre look on the checks with different shades of pink, as Ariana did. All of the blushes retail for $20.00.
out now: Mist thing hydrating matte setting spray
The mist thing hydrating matte setting spray is the second mist thing coming from R.E.M. Beauty. Whether you want to prep your makeup beforehand, or you want relaxation added into your skincare routine, you can use Ariana’s mist thing calming face mist, which contains beneficial ingredients such as lavender essential oil to calm and hydrate the skin.
But, if you are also looking for an additional mist after you finish your makeup, R.E.M. Beauty has just released one for you. This setting spray will keep all of your makeup locked into place all day long while still hydrating the skin. It contains ingredients such as snow mushroom, black tea ferment, and goji berry for additional skincare benefits while still keeping your makeup intact. Price: $26.00.

This under-eye balm is used to help the eyes get an awakened look while keeping them looking energized. Beneficial ingredients for the eyes will include pomegranate and ginseng.
The cosmetic industry is ready for more from R.E.M BEAUTY…
With the long devotion of hard work, and passionate beauty products being made, Ariana Grande is ready to release these new products for the world to try out. Aside from this, R.E.M. Beauty has won Cosmopolitan’s Reader’s Beauty Choice Award for 2023. The brand has been planning all sorts of events for beauty lovers such as pop-up shops in different cities for releasing the new hypernova collection, called the “hypernova hotel pop up”. The pop-up featured makeup artists showcasing R.E.M. Beauty’s latest products and offered various giveaways, including gifts and merchandise, as well as giving people makeovers using the latest blushes and bronzers.
A deeper approach to beauty
More than just a beauty brand, Ariana has been open and honest about her experience growing up in the industry and her relationship with beauty. In a recent video with Vogue, Ariana openly admitted that she has gotten lip fillers and botox over the years, and how makeup has been something she used to hide behind and disguise herself:
“I over the years used makeup as something to hide behind, and more and more hair, more and more thicker, the eyeliner, the whatever, and that can be so beautiful at times and I still do have love for it and appreciation for it.”
But she states, “As I get older I don’t love that being the intention behind it anymore, I think of it as self-expression now and accentuating what is here.”
She continues, “Our relationships to beauty are so personal, like we are here talking about beauty secrets, [but] isn’t the secret we all just want to feel our best and be loved?”
Ariana’s honest approach was much appreciated by people because many celebrities get cosmetic procedures and tend to worry about the public’s perception of them. However, her vulnerability and transparency have a positive effect on younger girls and women who are struggling to accept themselves. Makeup is something people use to make themselves feel beautiful and accentuate what is here, and that’s exactly what Ariana is all about.
On R.E.M. beauty’s website, Ariana makes a statement: “I love makeup, I love how it makes me feel, I love how instrumental it is to my art and to one’s sense of self and artistic expression. I want to help encourage others to feel more beautiful, to create, to tell their stories creatively and to express themselves” —Ari.
