Whether it's on the red carpet or social media, she always dresses to impress.

But Tulisa seemed keen to hide her latest cosmetic procedure on Thursday, as she hit the shops in Cheshire, shielding her face with a black surgical face mask.

The N-Dubz singer, 36, kept it casual as she opted for a white padded coat and black sports leggings for the outing.

She completed the look with a simple black top and a pair of white sports trainers.  

Tulisa swept her brunette locks back in a slick ponytail while carrying her phone and keys on the way to pay for her car parking at a ticket machine.

On Monday, the star revealed the shocking results of her latest cosmetic procedure ahead of her upcoming appearance on I'm A Celebrity later this month. 

She took to her Instagram stories to share that she has had the outline of her lips tattooed and they were looking pretty swollen. 

Showcasing the finished look to her 637,000 followers, the hitmaker penned: 'I tatted the lips to match the brows, couldn't help myself.'

She went on to clarify that they are 'swollen' at the moment but 'they will go down and the colour will tone down'.

Finally, she tagged the clinic, which is based in Altrincham, Cheshire, writing: '@cosmetic_tattoo_clinic loving this & brows have held sooooo well'.

It looks like Tulisa will be bringing glamour to the jungle, as she flaunted her already-tattooed eyebrows and long eyelash extensions in the short video.

Earlier in the day, she was seen preparing for the camping experience as she got her nails done for the final time at Skylar Nails in Alderly Edge.

Celebrities are not allowed to take makeup into the jungle with any cosmetic products regarded as contraband.

Meanwhile in 2022 Charlene White admitted she had beauty treatments done before entering the camp as she prepared to go makeup free.

She said: 'As you can see I have had my hair done, I have had my brows done, they are still a bit sore. I have had stuff done to my lashes. I have done what young people do when it comes to wandering around with no makeup.'

Back in 2017 Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo was allowed to break the no makeup rule after eagle-eyed viewers had suspected early on she was wearing foundation.

Toff later confirmed producers agreed to allow her to apply a thin layer of foundation each morning to even out her acne-prone skin, which she says has crippled her confidence for years.

Toff, who was also taking medication to help tackle the problem, said she had burst into tears when she realised she'd have to leave her make-up bag behind.

Meanwhile Tulisa has been candid about getting cosmetic enhancements in the past, after raising eyebrows when she showed off an extremely plump pout back in 2014.

During an appearance on Lorraine in 2019, the star said: 'I went through stages, I had an allergic reaction to something, and then it took me a while to get rid of it.

'I still get fillers in my lips, so it's all about maintaining. I'm happy with it now. That's where you're giving yourself a spruce.'

She also opened up about her lip filler journey on Celebrity Juice in 2016, admitting she was 'happy' with her lips after perfecting a more natural look.

Asked by host Keith Lemon if getting her lips done was a 'good experience' she explained: 'Well I've had my bad experiences with it, but now I like to think I'm alright. We're in a good place.'

As she was praised by team captain Fearne Cotton for being so 'honest' about the procedure, Tulisa quipped: 'Well, it's a bit obvious isn't it…'

Tulisa was courted by I'm A Celebrity bosses to take part, after being approached several times in the past (pictured in 2023) 

Referring to her previous reaction to fillers as 'not fun,' she added: 'I'm very happy now.'

Speaking on Good Morning Britain she added: 'I looked like Finding Nemo... It was like, 'Eurgh, what have I done?'

'Luckily, they were all temporary, so they dissolve, I did actually dissolve some [of the work I had done].'

She added that it hadn't deterred her from having further work done, however, as she explained: 'My lips, I still have to maintain because I like them.'

Last month Tulisa revealed she finally discovered the root cause of her 12-year health battle that left her in 'horrific' pain and fearing for her appearance.

Tulisa, who was diagnosed with Bell's palsy in 2020, admitted she would ask herself "What the hell is going on with my face?" before a doctor did a crucial ultrasound, which finally exposed the underlining issue.

Last month Tulisa revealed she finally discovered the root cause of her 12-year health battle that left her in 'horrific' pain and fearing for her appearance (pictured in December) 

She revealed she discovered 'three chronically infected cysts' in her cheek, one of which popped during an 'explorative operation' due to being so bulbous.

Speaking on Olivia Attwood's podcast So Wrong It's Right, she said: 'I've no idea what they were caused by, they weren't filler, they were just self-occurring, but I came out of the operation and instantly my face was less swollen.

'There's some still there so I still have the inflammation but it's way less. In the next two months he's going to go in to get those ones.'

Tulisa said after having her first Bell's palsy attack as a 24-year-old, she attempted to use fillers to 'balance out' her face, causing her to be locked in a 'vicious cycle.'

Eventually doctors found three chronically infected cysts that were sat all around her cheek and kept swelling with infection, one of which even popped.

She added: 'I've had all these health problems for years – sarcoidosis, immune disorders and this explains all the symptoms that I was getting and could have been causing Bell's palsy because in total there was, I think, six of them. They could have been growing over the years, actually triggering the Bell's.'

After years of experimenting, Tulisa said she made the decision to remove the filler from her face and now only uses it in her lips.

She added: 'Right now, I only have filler in my lips. There's no filler anywhere else in my face and I've never spoken about this publicly as I only discovered what was really going on this year.'
