Kylie Jenner posted a short "get ready with me" video on Instagram on Sunday that showed her applying makeup with her daughter Stormi, and viewers noted that the reality star and cosmetics entrepreneur's lips appeared thinner than in some earlier public appearances.
The clip opened with Jenner, 28, instructing her children to announce the start of their routine; Stormi, 7, did so while her younger brother, Aire, 3, retreated from the camera. Jenner used products from her Kylie Cosmetics line during the session, and the post had amassed more than 1.3 million likes by the time of publication. Jenner has nearly 400 million followers across her social accounts.
Jenner first publicly acknowledged getting lip fillers in 2015 on the show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, a choice she has discussed repeatedly since. She has said she allowed the fillers to dissolve beginning in 2018 and has spoken in interviews about her evolving view of beauty and the role the lip enhancements played in her career.
In a 2023 interview with HommeGirls, Jenner said of the procedure, "It was the best thing I've ever done. I always thought I was cute," and added that seeing her likeness in her daughter had helped her embrace her appearance. In a 2018 YouTube video, she said Stormi did not inherit the feature that once made Jenner insecure, remarking, "The one thing I was insecure about, she has — she has the most perfect lips in the whole entire world. She didn't get those from me."
Observers have linked Jenner's early lip-focused marketing to the launch of her business. The Kylie Cosmetics flagship product was a lip kit that gained wide attention after Jenner's fuller pout became a notable aspect of her public image in 2015.
Beyond the Instagram clip, Jenner has been in the public eye this year for personal milestones. In early August she celebrated her 28th birthday with an intimate dinner attended by friends including Hailey Bieber and posted moments from the gatherings to social media. She is currently dating actor Timothée Chalamet, 29; the pair have largely kept their relationship private, though they have appeared together at industry events and walked a red carpet side-by-side once. Reports last month said Chalamet sent Jenner thoughtful gestures while they spent her birthday apart due to his work overseas.
The Instagram video follows a pattern in Jenner's social media of featuring family moments with her two children, whom she shares with ex-partner Travis Scott. The footage underscores the brand and personal identity Jenner has cultivated around beauty and motherhood and continues the public conversation about how celebrities' appearances evolve over time.
