Cheryl Burke: From Dance Floor to Beauty Creator

Cheryl Burke, a familiar face from "Dancing with the Stars," is now channeling her energy into the beauty industry as a creator. The 42-year-old star revealed at a recent event that her life has taken a different, yet enjoyable, turn, with dance taking a backseat.

Burke's new venture includes being selected for the prestigious 2026 Sephora Squad, a year-long program where she will serve as a brand ambassador. This role aligns with her long-held passion for beauty.

She explained that her approach to makeup has transformed from using it as a performance mask to now enhancing her natural features. Burke emphasized a journey of self-discovery, focusing on embracing her identity rather than hiding behind illusions.

Recently, Burke has also addressed public commentary on her appearance. She has pushed back against online criticism regarding her eyebrows and facial features, attributing perceived differences to bone structure and shadows.

Burke previously shared a statement in June 2025, encouraging others to disregard external noise and projections, affirming her right to evolve. Earlier in May 2025, she explicitly denied speculations about Ozempic use, illness, a face transplant, or a brow lift.
