Selena Gomez has opened up to fans about her health after concern was raised when she shared a video with her hands appearing to shake.
After the actress and singer posted a makeup tutorial video to social media, she was met by comments from fans who had noticed her unsteady hands in the clip.
Selena was giving tips in a TikTok video where she talked followers through her makeup and skincare routine.
At one point in the video, the 30-year-old tried to apply micellar water to a sponge but her hands were shaky.
She told concerned followers that it was down to a side effect from her lupus medication.

"I had this position, and I was really happy, but … was I? Do these materialistic things make me happy? [I realized] I just didn’t like who I was, because I didn’t know who I was.”

Speaking about the transplant on the Today Show in October 2017, she said: "She lived with me in this interesting time where my kidneys were just done,” Gomez said.
“That was it. I didn’t want to ask a single person in my life. The thought of asking somebody to do that was really difficult for me.
"She volunteered and did it—and let alone somebody wanting to volunteer, it is incredibly difficult to find a match. The fact that she was a match, I mean, that’s unbelievable. That’s not real.”
