In conversation with Luisa via Roma's magazine, the singer spoke candidly about beauty standards, aging in front of the spotlight, and what inspired her to finally launch her own beauty brand, GXVE.
Gwen admitted that the aging process was one of the catalysts for the launch, admitting: "I just want to look as good as I can at any age, like we all do, and share that quality makeup truly does make a big difference in how you feel."
Maintaining her love for makeup and the power it holds, she said: "You can always change who you are, make yourself feel better, or make other people feel better with makeup. Makeup is just the perfect playground for that."
