Selena Gomez is one multi-talented woman! The triple-threat performer has been working hard in quarantine, dropping a makeup line, recording new music, and even debuting a cooking show.
The former Disney Channel star has also gotten very candid about her mental health struggles, and discussed how she wanted to promote self-acceptance with her new Rare Beauty line. “It’s something that I wanted to be much bigger than makeup, because I fully believe that it’s your mind and it’s your body and it’s your soul.
