Kylie Jenner On Seeing Her Natural Features In Her Kids' Faces

"My daughter looks like me. I get to see my beauty in her, and it's made me love myself more for sure."

In this candid interview, the 25-year-old celebrity reflected on how her outlook has transformed over the years, attributing her children as the catalysts for a profound change in self-perception.

Having spent a significant portion of her life in the public eye, Kylie has been transparent about her teenage insecurities, particularly surrounding her lips.

As a young girl, she grappled with feelings of self-doubt, which ultimately led her to experiment with lip fillers at the age of 17.

In a vulnerable moment on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she acknowledged her insecurity and admitted to using makeup and overlining her lips as a way to boost her confidence.

"I had really small lips, and I didn’t ever think about it until I had one of my first kisses and a guy said to me, ‘Oh my god, you're such a good kisser, but you have such small lips,’ or something like that. From then on, I felt unkissable," she said.

"I had an insecurity because this guy said something to me one time," she added. "Then I got an obsession with makeup because I would overline my lips and it just made me feel confident."

However, Kylie wants to set the record straight on the notion that she underwent extensive facial surgeries due to insecurity.

During the HommeGirls interview, she passionately denied the long-standing misconception, asserting that she has only ever received lip fillers and not other surgical procedures. 

Kylie clarified that her fascination with makeup and contouring techniques stemmed from their transformative power to enhance and alter her facial features temporarily.
