Selena Gomez just opened up about her viral self-tanning mishap at the 2018 Met Gala,
shared that blondes do have more fun and refueled those Ariana Grande collab rumors -- let’s
get into it!
There’s no denying that Selena Gomez has become a major figure in the beauty industry
since the launch of her own cosmetics line, Rare Beauty, but even Sel is prone to makeup
fails just like the rest of us…
In her most recent appearance on Vogue’s Beauty Secrets, she showcased some of her
latest products and shared a few of her beauty tips.
Selena also got pretty candid about a makeup-related mishap that had her turning red...
Well, actually orange to be exact...
As Selena was getting ready to apply bronzer as part of her go-to evening routine, she
was overcome by a case of the giggles so she couldn’t help but share her funny self-tanning
incident.
Sel went on to explain that just prior to walking the red carpet during the 2018 Met
Gala, she and her team wanted to add some color to her look so she applied tanning lotion
on her face and body.
But as the evening went on, Selena revealed that unbeknownst to her, her skin kept getting
darker and darker...and darker
"And I’m walking trying to look all beautiful.
And I look at a photo of myself when I sit down, and I’m completely orange."
But rather than let it spoil her night, Selena decided to have some fun with the embarrassing
situation.
And as a preemptive measure for the online roasting she was sure would follow, Sel had
a member of her team record her running to her car away from the MET in her stunning
gown with its dramatically long train.
"And so I’m running to my car, and I’m literally just hauling *ss to get to my car
and then I put it online saying, ‘this is my reaction after seeing my MET Gala photos.’"
And can I just take a moment to give a shout out to Sel for not only being the most relatable
queen, but for the fact that she talked about this situation with so much humor and can
giggle about the memory and see the fun side of it.
Rather than being mortified.
So we finally got the full backstory to Selena’s viral video…
Selly also explained that though she likes the sun-kissed look, she definitely needs
a little help to achieve it as she has to limit her exposure to direct sunlight due
to her lupus.
Later in the makeup tutorial Selena also admitted that blondes DO have more fun…
She said, “I think I’m definitely more of a character when I’m blonde.
I felt like I could do crazy looks with my hair and try different things with my makeup.
And it was just so much fun.
For a little bit it was a bit hard to keep up with but I don’t know, I felt so cool
and edgy.
It was just a whole phase that I went through.”
We love that phase Sel!
As you guys might remember, Selena shocked fans back in April when she unveiled her bleach
blonde look with dark roots…
And if you already miss Blondelena, don’t worry because--
“Blonde Selena is not gone forever.
I will tell you that”
Selena wrapped up her video hinting that she’s still single as she pointed out how satisfied
she was with her look for the night and how she wished she had a date to go on, but she
made it clear that’s not the case… at least not for now.
Oh, by the way, some eagle-eyed fans noticed that Selena was listening to Ariana Grande
during her little dance break where she emphasized how essential working out is to her beauty
routine and of course her over mental health.
As expected fans flocked to Twitter to share their excitement tweeting things like, “Selena
listening to Ariana is simply iconic”
And, “selena singing along to songs from tun….. then following ariana on ig…..
and now listening to her during the vogue video ……. i smell a selriana collab besties”
Could it be that there’s any truth a Selena-Ariana collab in the works?
We’ll be keeping a close eye on both of them and we’ll be sure to let you know if
there’s any new developments…
