Kylie Jenner, reality-star-turned-billionaire-and-mom-of-one, founded Kylie Cosmetics in 2015, which shot its way to global fame with the eponymous Kylie Lip Kit. She claimed that her full-looking lips were a result of overlining—a makeup technique in which one applies lipliner way beyond the natural lip line to create the illusion of larger lips. But fans and haters alike weren’t having it. (In the meantime, a dangerous Kylie Lip Challenge had made the rounds on social media.) 

In May 2015, Kylie finally put the rumors to rest in a voiceover for the now-defunct Keeping Up with the Kardashians. “I have temporary lip fillers. It’s just an insecurity of mine and it’s what I wanted to do,” Jenner said. “I want to admit to the lips, but people are so quick to judge me on everything, so I might have tiptoed around the truth—but I didn’t lie.”

In an 2017 episode of Life of Kylie, she opened up even more about the reason she began to feel insecure about her lips. “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. 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. I would overline my lips with lip liner just to create the illusion of bigger lips. And then finally I was like, ‘This lip liner isn’t doing it.’ I ended up getting my lips done,” she confessed.

Later on, Refinery29 had the chance to speak with Pawnta Abrahimi, registered nurse, owner of Pawnta Cosmetic Dermatology in Beverly Hills, and licensed Allergan trainer. Allergan, if you weren’t aware, is the inventor of BOTOX® and Juvéderm…and the latter happens to be what she used for Kylie’s famous pout.

Said Pawnta, “I like to use Juvéderm for the lips because it’s made from hyaluronic acid. That means it retains and absorbs water, so it’s specifically great for lips.” And guess what—Juvéderm fillers are readily available at Belo, so you can literally have Kylie Jenner lips without having to fly out to Beverly Hills! 

Here it is in action on influencer Angel Dei:
