Furtado added: “So far, I have not had any face or lip injections or fillers of any kind.” That’s useful info in case anybody has heard claims on the contrary!
“But I do have a loving, old school facialist who I purchase serums and creams from,” she revealed, “and I started that when I was 20. The day before photo shoots and red carpets, I drink a lot of water and sleep on my back.”
“Sometimes on the red carpet or at photo shoots my makeup artist uses face tape to give my eyes, skin, and makeup more lift,” Nelly Furtado detailed. “Sometimes my stylist uses body tape to give a certain look to different silhouettes.”
She added: “Body makeup can also sometimes be contoured to achieve a certain look.” One traditional instance is creating or exaggerating the look of cleavage or abs.

‘We are all just cute little humans’

And it’s also OK to want something different. We are all cute little humans just bouncing around the earth looking for hugs.” Very true!
