Gwyneth Paltrow‘s daughter Apple Martin recently made headlines by opening up about her experience with cosmetic procedures. In a candid video for Vogue, she shared insights on her daily skincare routine – one that resonates with many stressed-out college students. Apple took a moment to reveal her past with beauty enhancements, specifically detailing her regret over receiving lip fillers when she was just 18 years old.
In the video, Apple expressed her feelings about the enhancement by saying, “Time to come clean. I got lip filler one time. I think I got it when I was 18. I just thought that it was too big.” Her honesty gives a refreshing perspective to the topic of beauty and self-image, particularly in a world that often equates worth with appearance.
Interestingly, Apple clarified that her experience with lip fillers was a one-time affair. Rather than relying on enhancements, she has learned to achieve a fuller lip look using makeup techniques. “Everyone seems to think that I have crazy lip filler. I just pout my lips a lot and I put on a lip of liner,” she explained, demonstrating her “lip filler optical illusion” technique by applying lip liner just above her natural lip line. She concluded the demonstration with a plumping lip gloss, making it clear that the final result is achieved through artistry rather than fillers.

Beyond cosmetic procedures, Apple candidly discussed her ongoing battle with acne and how her perception of beauty has evolved over the years. “I know I still have a little bit of blemishes and stuff, but it was really bad in high school,” she admitted, revealing the emotional toll that acne took on her self-esteem during those formative years. Yet, her attitude seems to have shifted with time. “Now I’m just kind of like ‘I’m human. What am I gonna do? If I have a pimple, it’s not the end of my life,’” she shared, tackling the pressure many young people feel to present a flawless image.

Jokingly, she even pointed to her forehead while stating, “The more that you stress about it, the worse it’ll get, most likely. This is all stress.” Her light-hearted approach to discussing skin issues not only normalizes them but also resonates deeply with those facing similar struggles.
In this candid video, Apple also extended a shout-out to her mom, Gwyneth Paltrow, and grandmother, Blythe Danner, as major influences in her life. She called them “such, such beautiful ladies,” highlighting the supportive lineage she comes from. This familial connection provides a backdrop to her own beauty journey and relationship with self-esteem.
Through her experience, Apple Martin has emerged as a relatable figure who navigates the complexities of beauty standards, self-acceptance, and the pressures of modern youth culture. Her story offers inspiration, especially to young people grappling with their own insecurities in a world rife with unrealistic expectations.
