She began with a touch of sarcasm, posting selfies with extreme filters and writing, "So many people said I look different. I look the same as always. Couldn't look more natural. I woke up like this. Filters don't change you that much."

She said, "Hi. I don't usually do this, but I've had a lot of people lately say that I've had a brow-lifting procedure. I don't know what that — I didn't even know you could lift your brows like that."
She clarified that the only procedure she had undergone was microblading with Audrey, a microblading artist she appreciates.
