Kylie Jenner Was Inspired To Make Lip Kits For A Very Personal Reason

Kylie Jenner‘s lip kits have done pretty well so far since their launch in 2015 but she didn’t just decide to venture into having her own lip kit line by chance.

In an interview with the Evening Standard magazine, Kylie told her big sister Kim Kardashian how she ended up with her very successful lip kit.

She said, “It came from an insecurity and I turned it into something. I was insecure about my lips, and lipstick is what helped me feel confident.”

“It’s the most authentic thing I’ve done in my career, and it really relates to me, and I feel like people can tell that I’m super passionate about it,” Kylie said. “I feel like people could see that it’s authentic to me, and it was organic, and it just worked.”

Prior to the launch of her lip kit, Kylie admitted to having her lips temporarily filled after years of being insecure about them. In 2017, she explained on an episode of Life of Kylie that she’d had her lips done because of an incident with a boy in high school that made her feel self-conscious about them.

“It was like one of my first kisses and a guy was like, ‘I didn’t think you would be a good kisser because you have such small lips.’ But I took that really hard,” Kylie said.

“Just when a guy you like says that, I don’t know, it just really affected me. I just didn’t feel desirable or pretty. I really wanted bigger lips,” she finished.

Although she’s admitted to that cosmetic enhancement before, she told her sister Kim in this recent interview that she’s not thinking of getting any other surgery at this point.
