Doechii says openly using face tape helps her ‘embrace imperfection', but does it?
Most people know Doechii for her impeccably timed fast-paced rhymes – they're what earned her multiple awards, including a Grammy, and the title of Billboard Woman of the Year. But the US rapper is increasingly standing out for something other than her music: visible face tape.
The Denial Is a River singer has proudly displayed the beauty hack on stage at the Grammys, while performing at festivals, and on social media. According to her stylist Sam Woolf, it's her way of exposing things that are 'meant to be hidden' – and being more vulnerable.
A growing number of celebrities and beauty influencers appear to be taking a more open and transparent approach to beauty hacks or procedures. Stars like Ariana Grande are sharing their ' button-nose tricks ' on TikTok, while others like Martha Stewart are opening up about previous beauty procedures.
So, why are more celebrities opening up about their appearance, and what could it mean for the rest of us?
Wait, what is face tape?
Face tape is precisely what it sounds like – tape applied to the face. Two small strips of tape, which are usually attached by an elasticised band, are attached to the temples to create a smooth, wrinkle-free look. In other words, it 'tightens' the face to create a more youthful appearance.
It's not uncommon for models and celebrities to wear face tape, but it's usually hidden underneath or within their hair. Doechii, on the other hand, wears it where it can be seen, even sometimes bedazzling the tape pieces.
Though the rapper has adopted it as one of her signature looks, other celebrities, including Charli XCX, have also worn visible face tape during public appearances. It has even become something of a staple on certain fashion runways, such as those of Givenchy and, most recently, Valentino.

Kylie Jenner reveals details of her breast enlargement
Kylie Jenner has shared details of her breast enlargement surgery. The 27-year-old beauty has revealed specific details about her surgery, after being asked a series of questions by a TikTok follower. Rachel Leary, the follower, said to Kylie on the video-sharing app: "You have got what I am looking for to have done, in terms of like, a boob job. "It's like the most perfect natural looking boob job ever. They're still big, but whatever way you had the implants — if they are implants or if you had fat transfer — to me, it is perfection. "That is what I aspire mine to look like … I don't expect you to share who did the work … but in terms of what you actually had done, I feel like you've been quite open about having your boobs done ... " In her caption, Rachel said: "Help a girl out @Kylie Jenner [crying emoji] i just want to know how to get them to sit like that, respectfully [prayer and crying emojis] #fyp #foryou #kyliejenner #surgery. (sic)" In response, Kylie shared: "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! Silicone!!! (sic)" Kylie even named Garth Fisher as her surgeon. The brunette beauty - who is dating actor Timothée Chalamet - added: "Hope this helps lol (sic)" Rachel subsequently thanked Kylie for being so honest with her on TikTok. She said: "KYLIEEEEE!!! you are the best THANK YOU [crying emoji] !!!! (sic)" Kylie previously confessed that she got her "breasts done" before giving birth to Stormi, her seven-year-old daughter. Speaking on an episode of 'The Kardashians' in 2023, Kylie shared: "I got my breasts done before Stormi, not thinking I would have a child when I was 20. Like, they were still healing." However, the make-up mogul later suggested that she regretted the decision. Kylie - who also has Aire, three, with her ex-boyfriend Travis Scott - said: "I had beautiful breasts, like natural t***. Just gorgeous. Perfect size, perfect everything. "I just wish obviously I never got them done to begin with. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about it to wait until after children."

Kristin Cavallari is 'not going younger again'
Kristin Cavallari "will not be going younger" when she resumes dating. The 38-year-old beauty split from Mark Estes, the 28-year-old TikTok star, in 2024, and Kristin insists she won't date another younger guy in the future. Kristin - who was married to former NFL star Jay Cutler between 2013 and 2022 - said on the 'Let's Be Honest' podcast: "I haven't really been dating at all. But if I were to, and when I do, I will not be going younger. I promise you, that was a one-time thing." Kristin is set to throw the first pitch at an upcoming Chicago Cubs baseball game. And the blonde beauty's children - Camden, 12, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, nine - have teased that she could date one of the baseball stars. In response, Kristin stressed: "You know, we're not going younger again." In May, Kristin admitted that Brandon Sklenar is her "biggest celebrity crush". The 'Very Cavallari' star recalled "freaking out" when she met the 34-year-old actor at Stagecoach, the country music festival held in California. Kristin said on the 'Let's Be Honest' podcast: "I wish this moment was not so blurry for me, but all of a sudden, I am able to pick out Brandon Sklennar, and he's with a couple guys, I'm pretty sure he had his hood over his head, like I f****** clocked him and I go, 'Oh my God, are you Brandon?' I think I said his last name wrong. "I was like, 'Are you Brandon Sklenar?' Total fangirl moment. I like f****** attacked him." Kristin confessed to being overwhelmed with excitement as she met her celebrity crush for the first time. She shared: "I'm like, freaking out. And I said something to the effect of, like, 'You're my number one, you're my biggest celebrity crush.' And he shook my hand and he looked me in the eye and he said, 'Thank you.' And my life was made. I literally — I could die today and be a happy woman." Kristin is now trying to find "the normal guy version of Brandon Sklenar". She said: "I want the real-world version of Brandon Sklenar, like the non-famous version. I'm manifesting the normal guy version of Brandon Sklenar."

Influencer honours friend's son after suspected pool death
American influencer Avery Woods has paid tribute to her best friend's young son, who died in hospital in May following an alleged drowning tragedy. Emilie Kiser's three-year-old son Trigg died on May 18, days after he was reportedly found unconscious in the family's backyard pool in Arizona on May 12. The lifestyle influencer, who boasts more than 4.6 million followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, has remained silent about the tragedy, but her close friend honoured the adored little boy in a heartwarming way. On Monday, Woods filmed a 'get ready with me' video for her fans on TikTok after being absent on the platform for weeks. 'Been a while since I put makeup on, so thought I'd get ready for our anniversary 🤍 missed you,' the influencer wrote in the caption. The video showed Woods with her hair slicked back as she applied her makeup, wearing a white tank top. Despite the clip being just over a minute long, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a touching detail included on one of her silver necklaces. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

The toddler was taken to Chandler Regional Medical Centre and then to Phoenix Children's Hospital in critical condition, according to AZ Central.
