Of course, Ariana models the entire range herself and displays her trim figure in the campaign shots. So what's the secret behind her slim physique? 
'I have been a vegan for the last few years and it has been a great experience for me,' she revealed.
'I try and live a healthy lifestyle; eating right, exercise and sleep are all so important. 
'I try and stay really active all the time. I like to hike when I can and being on stage is a great workout.' 
Whilst she says her schedule can be tiring, she 'absolutely loves' what she does and feels really blessed so just tries to live in the moment.

HOW TO GET THE ARIANA FELINE FLICK IN A FEW SIMPLE STEPS 

1. Start from the outer corner of the eye and use a small eyeliner brush to create a thick to thinner line towards the inner corner of the eye
2. Draw a dot where you want your flick to end and join this with your eye line
3. Then mascara, mascara, mascara!
'I have a great team around me to help me and surrounding myself with family and friends really helps too,' she added.
Ariana has had a stellar career to date after shooting to fame in 2013 and becoming one of the most famous females in pop.
The former Disney star has a combined social media reach across her official accounts of over 115 million fans, as well as being one of the top 10 most followed Instagram users in the world. But the pop princess isn't resting on her laurels.
