Kylie Jenner Opens Up About Criticism Over Her Appearance
Kylie Jenner couldn’t hold back her emotions as she disclosed the negative feedback she’s received over the years regarding her beauty and cosmetic procedures. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, she confided in her sister Kendall Jenner, saying, “It’s like a miracle that I still have confidence and I can still look in the mirror and think that I am pretty.”
According to Page Six, Kylie discussed her experiences during the September 2023 Paris Fashion Week. Despite deciding for the first time to wear minimal makeup, her appearance continued to draw criticism. “I’m wearing too much makeup and it’s like, ‘You’re wearing too much makeup’. Then I go and I don’t wear a lot of makeup and someone catches me in a weird light,” she expressed in anguish.
“You can look at pictures since I’m 13 — I just have these lines,” the billionaire cosmetics founder continued, pointing to her cheeks. “But I’ve had them since I was like, a child.” “I just hear nasty things about myself all the time,” Kylie revealed during the confessional, adding that after over 10 years in the spotlight, “it just gets exhausting.” Kendall tried to console her younger sister, saying, “I think that’s a general thing with our family. We’re dehumanized.
They don’t think that there are any rules with us. Whereas if you talked the same way you do about us and about any other woman, people would come to their defense all day long. But for some reason with us, it’s like they don’t think we have any feelings.” Kylie concurred and noted that the trolling persisted even when she aimed for a more natural look.
“I went on a journey last year dissolving half of my lip filler,” she admitted. “I hate even having this conversation over and over and over again. It feels like it’s a waste of my breath because I think it will never change with me. I think a big misconception about me is that I’ve had so much surgery on my face and that I was some insecure person, and I really wasn’t! Yeah, I love full lips and wanted full lips, but growing up I was always the most confident person in the room,” Kylie revealed in an interview with Homme Girls in May 2023.
“I was the girl performing for everyone. I had my one lip insecurity thing, so I got lip filler, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I don’t regret it. But I always thought I was cute.” Kylie also shared that her perception of beauty changed after having children. “It’s made me love myself more. I see my features in my daughter and my son now, but you know, my daughter looks like me,” she shared. “I get to see my beauty in her, and it’s made me love myself more for sure. Beauty is always changing for me.”
