Megan Thee Stallion is taking a break — and a well-deserved one at that. So if you, like the InStyle team, are not-so-patiently waiting for the next "Hot Girl Summer" anthem from the rapper, you may have to adjust your expectations while she does something even more important: heal.

That's a rare thing to hear any celebrity, much less an award-winning rapper at the top of their game, admit. "Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place," the three-time Grammy winner tells InStyle. "Right now, I’m focused on healing."

These days, that looks like spending time with her dogs, working out, bingeing TV shows, and simply finding new ways to protect her peace. You can now find her setting boundaries and incorporating rest days into her schedule to take care of both her physical and mental health. "The music and entertainment industry can be a grind, so it’s important to take time off and avoid burning out," she says. "Life is all about balance." 

She's also turning her focus to other endeavors, such as her partnership with beauty-brand Revlon. Meg, who has been a Revlon global ambassador since 2020, credits the legacy makeup brand for making sure her '90s-inspired beauty looks stay intact when she performs.

"It keeps my glam looking flawless, especially during festival season when I’m on stage and performing in the summer heat," she says. Her personal favorites are the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Champagne On Ice (for your hot-girl summer shade), and the Revlon ColorStay Longwear Foundation, which stands up to sweat.


She's also working with Revlon for its #GetColorStayed Getaway Sweepstakes (in partnership with TripAdvisor), in which one winner will score a three-night stay for two to explore and relax in one of Meg's favorite places: Miami. The lucky winner will also get a chance to play with Revlon's ColorStay collection with the help of their own personal makeup artist.

Why Miami? "Miami has a little bit of everything for everyone," Meg says. "If you want to turn up, the city has incredible spots for people to have a good time. If you want to just chill and enjoy the tropical weather, then you can either lay by the pool, relax on the beach, or vibe out on a boat with some friends." (And, if you're looking for recommendations, her must-sees are Miami Beach, Everglades Park, and Papi Steakhouse).

Speaking of Miami: When the rapper is in vacation mode, her glam gets similarly pared down: She opts for less makeup and only reaches for a brown shadow to give her eyes some color, as well as more natural lashes for her go-to look.

Ultimately — and as with all things — her attitude towards beauty is just a matter of trusting her gut. "Just go for it," she says. "If you like it, who cares what other people think?"
