Kylie Jenner has the most viral mouth on the Internet right now. Whether you love to hate her or hate to love her, you have to admit it's hard to look away from her Angelina Jolie-like pout transformation. She had long been, uh, tight-lipped about what made her pucker grow to epic proportions, and while she has confessed to getting temporary lip fillers, you don't need to try them yourself to get a plump pucker. Read on for more tricks to achieve Kylie's lips.
#TBT
Once upon a time in 2009, the youngest of the Jenner-Kardashian clan looked like this. She was not always the voluptuous-lipped lady we know and obsesses over today.
Wowza!
But magically, the size of her lips grew and grew. Before confessing to getting lip injections, Kylie evaded the topic and completely credited the mouth makeover to makeup. "I love lip liner and overlining my lips," she told E!. Currently, the 18-year-old looks like this.
#KylieJennerLips
Women are so infatuated with Kylie's pout that a viral hashtag — #KylieJennerLips — was started on Instagram, inspiring almost 19,000 women to copy her signature look.
Challenge Accepted!
POPSUGAR Beauty even got in on the trend when editor Emily Orofino "Kylie Jennered" her lips. See the stunning results here.
CandyLipz
Emily got word that Kylie was gifted with a lip-enhancing device called CandyLipz ($70). The brand confirmed that Kylie attended WangoTango in 2013, where the apple-shaped tool was in the celebrity goody bag. CandyLipz uses a suction technique (inspired by ancient cupping remedies) to plump up your pucker. But be careful — it also causes some bruises that you'll need to cover with concealer.
Dissed by Disick
On a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Scott Disick revealed that it takes Kylie 40 minutes to do her lip makeup. He said, "Have you seen her do her lipstick? It takes like 40 minutes, and then she like pulls one lip, pushes one out. . . . I don't understand why everybody thinks it's so cute to duck [your lips] out!"
He continued to provoke her by joking, "You should want your nose to almost hit your lip. Get it up there! Plump her up!" And she showed that she has a thick skin by replying, "That's what I think."
Kim's Comments
Kim Kardashian also gave us clues on how Kylie does her makeup during an interview with Pixiwoo. "Kylie draws her lip like this," she said, tracing her finger over her upper lip. "She's so good at makeup. She only wears a lip liner and fills it in. She doesn't wear a lipstick or a gloss."
Neutral Nation
Don’t expect Kylie to choose just one lip product! At an event for skin care brand Nip+Fab, she gave us another hint to how she gets that plump pucker. She said, “Everyone thinks I have one specific lip color, but I have, like, 10 different nudes."
Life-Changing Lips
She's a true lip liner junkie! In an interview with with Grazia UK, Kylie declared, "Lip liner changed my life." She also really likes faux-eyelash strips, in case you couldn't tell.
Get Greasy
To get her teeth in shape for all of that pouting, she relies on Coco White, a UK brand that sells coconut oil that can be swished around the mouth. When she shared this photo on Instagram, she claimed that her teeth were already whiter from using the oil-pulling product.
Big Lips Are Her Business
According to Yahoo, Kylie has not only trademarked her full name, but a potential beauty product venture. The teen filed "Kylie's Lip Kit . . . For the Perfect Pout" for trademark back in August. A makeup set devoted to creating a pumped-up pucker seems like an ideal fit for the self-professed makeup junkie.
Get Over It
Even though it appears as if she likes to get attention for her supersize lips (she sure takes a lot of selfies showing them off), she has publicly declared otherwise.
"I feel like everyone has been talking about it for months, so I'm kind of sick of it," she told E! "In my pictures, I pout them out a lot. I think big lips are awesome. . . . But I don't even care anymore. I'm, like, whatever — just say whatever you want." After months of speculation, the teen finally came clean about the medical procedure she uses to get her plump pucker.
Kim Loves Kylie's Pumped-Up Pucker
Kim told Access Hollywood that she supported Kylie's decision to go under the needle. "I saw how, for so many years, she was so insecure about [her lips]," said Kim. "At 10 years old, she would say to me, 'How come my lips aren't big like you guys?' I gave her the advice, and I still stand by that advice . . . I think that it changed her confidence so much."
As long as Kylie stays in the spotlight, the conversations about her ginormous lips will continue. Can you keep up?
Aging Terrifies Her
The pillow-pouted teen revealed in an interview that she's afraid of her 19th birthday. "I really don't want to grow past 18," she admitted. Her fear of aging is attributed to how much change can occur in a year. "I've done so much physically and whatever," she explained about the past 12 months. Will she transform more than her lips as she grows up?
Spicy Secret
Kim confessed to Pixiwoo that Kylie uses MAC Cosmetics lip pencil in Spice ($16) to overdraw her lips for an ultraplush pucker. It has been a popular shade for years, but thanks to the Kardashian endorsement, Spice has been flying off of shelves.
Mom Doesn't Approve
Kris Jenner told Access Hollywood that she wasn't on board with Kylie's lip injections. "I don’t think I did one thing physically to myself until I was in my 50s. So I am thinking, 'Why, why? Why do you need to do that?'" Despite being upset and not "completely supportive" about her daughter's new lips, Kris admitted that once it was done, she had to let it go. "Once that was done, it's just my kid," she said. "I love my kid. We make mistakes."
Plastic Surgeons Think She's Too Young
The lead plastic surgeons of E!'s Botched, Drs. Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow, weighed in on the star's prominent pout. "She had nice, full lips already," Dr. Nassif said of Kylie's original look. "We're not advocates of starting cosmetic enhancements at 17," Dr. Dubrow added.
She Might Be Over Her Plumped-Up Pout
In an exclusive video on her app, Kylie chatted with her makeup artist Joyce Bonelli as she was getting glam. "You know what's weird? I've been into small lips lately," the teen confessed. "Like, I want them to look small." Though we're pretty shocked by Kylie's revelation — what happened to thinking "big lips are awesome?" That said, she chose to enhance her pout with Juvéderm, which lasts only two to four months. "It’s annoying to keep going back, but you have the option of stopping it," she told The New York Times. Maybe a slimmer-lipped Kylie is in our future.
