<p id=”par-2_41″>A number of pop stars have branched out <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/fans-prefer-rihanna-fenty-beauty-ariana-grandes-rem-beauty-grande-wins-another-area.html/”>to the makeup industry</a>. Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and many more have started their own makeup lines. Miley Cyrus says she has no interest in following in her peers’ footsteps.</p>
<p id=”par-3_58″>“My stepdad asked me the other day, ‘Why are you the only one without a makeup line?’” Cyrus told <a href=”https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/magazine/miley-cyrus-interview.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The New York Times Magazine</a>. “I was like, ‘Cause that’s not my passion.’ He goes, ‘That’s the right answer.’ And it made so much sense. It’s like, ‘I don’t have a makeup line because I’m not a makeup artist.’”</p>

<p id=”par-4_23″>She admitted she felt similarly about becoming a parent. She doesn’t think it is something she should do just because other people are. </p>
<p id=”par-5_52″>“I feel that way about motherhood,” she said. “It’s just never been something that I’ve been overly passionate about. It’s a lot of responsibility and devotion and energy, and if you’re not passionate about that, I don’t know how you do sleepless nights and 18 years of what my mom dealt with.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-fans-have-praised-miley-cyrus-for-her-comments-about-being-a-mom”>Fans have praised Miley Cyrus for her comments about being a mom</h2>
<p id=”par-6_24″>A number of people have celebrated Cyrus’ comments. They have said that it feels refreshing to hear a celebrity express these opinions about motherhood.</p>
<p id=”par-7_26″>“I LOVEEE that she said this about motherhood,” wrote one <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/1l0bc8z/miley_cyrus_i_dont_have_a_makeup_line_because_im/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a> user. “I feel Guilty I dont Want kids but I don’t HAVE TO want them.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_21″>Some people found it funny that Cyrus compared having children to starting a makeup line, but they agreed with both points.</p>
<p id=”par-9_19″>“Lol I love the diss on celebrity makeup lines,” one person wrote. “She made two very valid points imo!”</p>
<p id=”par-10_18″>People have also said they respect her for not starting a makeup line like so many other celebrities. </p>
<p id=”par-11_84″>“This is why I love Miley, she’s always been real,” wrote one person. “So many celebrities will push out anything to make an extra dollar. Like no shade to [Milly Bobby Brown] but why does she have a makeup line? How is that at all relevant to her brand? It’s stuff like that that makes celebrities so much more annoying when they release obvious cash grabs. I respect Miley for keeping it real instead of doing whatever she can to make an extra buck.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_9″>People have also noted that Cyrus seems remarkably well-adjusted.</p>
<p id=”par-13_14″>“Whoever she has as a therapist – I want that number,” wrote one person.</p>

<p id=”par-14_30″>Though Cyrus said she doesn’t feel passionate about becoming a mother, she feels empathy and concern for children. She said she has concerns about child stars <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/miley-cyrus-learned-from-hannah-montana-lucky.html/”>after being one herself</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-15_70″>“Ariana [Grande] says there should be therapy for child actors, and I totally agree,” Cyrus said. “There should be a weekly check-in. I’ve been doing very consistent therapy since I was 17 or 18 years old, so I think I’ve cleared up a lot of the feelings that I had about being a child star, and now I don’t notice it so much because I don’t notice it in me.”</p>
<p id=”par-16_16″>She said she feels an urge to check in with former <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/girl-meets-world-sabrina-carpenters-disney-success-inspired-former-stars.html/”>child stars like Sabrina Carpenter</a>.</p>
