Ariana Grande embraced the Glindafication that came with appearing in it Wicked — including all her glam.
In a new Instagram video shared on Nov. 7, the 31-year-old actress pulled back the curtain on her process of getting ready for Glinda’s fia during filming. This included putting on make-up, putting on a wig and even covering up a few tattoos.
When the process began, she joked with the hair and makeup team that she needed “the least amount of time” to get ready for the shoot (which they agreed with) and even did her own makeup.

But when Grande spoke candidly about how fully she has embraced her character in her life, she let fans see just how deeply she loves her character. As a beauty queen, Grande said she even completely changed her perspective on how she does her own makeup.
“Glinda’s makeup kind of made me change my whole look and my whole relationship with makeup. I love it so much. Love, love, love,” she said.
Grande went on to describe the makeup her character wears in the Jon M. Chu-directed film, which comes out Nov. 22, saying, “There’s no, like, heavy eyeliner. There’s no, like, heavy creases. It’s just, like, really warm and open and beautiful and, you know, the lashes are in, like, a cat shape, which still gives you, like, a cat look, which I normally love, but it’s also just a more honest representation of what you look like. It’s like, oh this is about.”

Previously, Grande teased that it would feature products from her rem beauty brand Wicked.
“Glinda is wearing a few things,” Grande shared in a YouTube video in April 2023. “I told my beautiful makeup artist Nuria, who I love with all my heart, I said, ‘I don’t want to go into this with any rules or requirements; I want us to find her basically, I just want to sit back and let you play and we’ll find her together.'”
She went on to say that she and the crew were finding Glinda “together” during filming and wouldn’t yet reveal what products the good witch was wearing – but all will be revealed in due course.
