Make-up mogul Kylie Jenner has revealed “temporary lip fillers” helped her to overcome her deepest insecurities.
The reality star, 23, explained in a new YouTube video that she wanted to get the cosmetic procedure done in a bid to boost her confidence as she was “insecure” about her “smaller lips”.
“When I was younger I had an insecurity with my lips,” she shared.
The doting mum-of-one continued: “I have temporary lip fillers and it was an insecurity of mine and it’s what I wanted to do.”
The star went on to add that her insecurity led to the start of her successful cosmetics business – Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin.
The sit-down video, which includes an appearance from her momager Kris Jenner, 65, comes after she openly spoke about her struggles as a teenager after her first kiss.
KUWTK star Kylie said the boy she shared her kiss with told her she had small lips, and in turn, she started “over lining” her pout to make it look bigger.
From then on, she would often look around for neutral shades of lip liner at cosmetic stores.
In the video, Kylie, who has built an incredible business empire, added: “I was 17 when I launched Kylie Cosmetics…It feels weird that this is my life now, looking back at it though, makeup has just been a part of my DNA.”
“I just knew in my soul that this was what I was supposed to do..I think I was meant to feel that way, to then find makeup and find my confidence,” the boss lady concluded.
She also responded to the negativity she sometimes receives online.
“Being on the internet, people will pinpoint every single thing about you and make you realised things you would never realise in a million years,” she said.
“Makeup has always been a great way of self-expression for me. I just knew in my soul that this was what I was supposed to do.”
During the chat, Kylie shared that her brand is set to have a major re-brand.
Kylie Cosmetics is going both vegan and clean, with new formulas set to drop on July 15.
