Nicki Minaj has always been known for her eccentric fashion clothes, outlandish characters and her revolving door of wigs. Though she is known for taking things to the extreme, there is one area where Minaj has taken the less abrasive route. Her face.Nicki Minaj is directly addressing those endless rumors about her history of comestic surgery by dispelling the idea that she's had permanent modifications to her face. The YMCMB representative, American Idol judge and MAC endorser credits her ever-changing looks solely to her make-up.In an Extra interview this week with Renee Baugh, Nicki says, "When people see my makeup, they think all types of crazy things that I'm doing to my skin, but it's makeup."Minaj elaborates by stating, "They’ll see contour and they’ll think you had surgery on your nose, no no no. Look at RuPaul's Drag Race and you'll see how you can make your nose whatever shape you want. I've never had surgery on my face—like God, it's makeup, people."Other starlets and make-up connoisseurs, like Kim Kardashian, are fans of the dramatic effects comestics can create.She even goes on to include what an outfit on a more relaxed day consists of, "a scarf on my head, sweatpants, T-shirt, UGGs." Hey, we all need a break.Nicki says that we can expect a more subdued looked from the woman who is known for otherwise. She says for 2013 her look will be "a bit more grown and sexy and like…less is more." Not sure what caused this sudden change of heart but we might be seeing a new side of Nicki this year.—Abrea Armstrong[via Extra]
