Kylie Jenner Embraces Self-Love And Challenges Unrealistic Beauty Standards In Conversation With Sisters
In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kylie Jenner showcased her unyielding self-confidence and shed light on the societal pressures she and her sisters face to attain perfection. The 25-year-old makeup mogul, known for her successful brand Kylie Cosmetics, wants to dispel misconceptions about her self-assured demeanor as she addresses the topic of body image.
Reflecting on her childhood, Kylie said, “I always remember being the most confident kid in the room. I always loved myself – I still love myself.” Contrary to false assumptions, she clarified that her transformation was not the result of extensive surgical procedures but rather the use of fillers. “I feel like I don’t want that to be a part of my story,” the cosmetics entrepreneur stated.
Kylie also acknowledged her past tendency to edit her photos, recognizing the influential position her family holds and the opportunity to promote self-acceptance. Her sister Khloé, 39, joined the conversation, admitting her own struggles with body image. Kourtney, 44, also chimed in to emphasize the importance of confidence, stating the importance of confident “even in your imperfection.”
She then went on to highlight the pervasive influence of society’s beauty standards. “I had the most confidence; I was chubby and in a skin-tight body-con dress — you couldn’t tell me otherwise. Society gave me insecurities,” she shared.
The conversation continued, touching upon the topic of plastic surgery. Khloé confessed that she only revealed her decision to undergo a nose job years later, feeling compelled to address persistent rumors. She revealed that her mother, Kris Jenner, had even made comments about her nose prior to the procedure. Addressing the issue, Khloé asserted, “It’s unfair to put so much pressure on people, I think we’re all just doing the best we can.”
The sisters collectively agreed that they want to spare their children from similar insecurities. Recognizing the world’s fixation on perfection, Kourtney, who is currently pregnant, expressed her intention to allow her kids the freedom to express themselves without the burden of perfectionism.
Amid the ongoing public scrutiny, Kylie shared how she manages to remain resilient. She emphasized the importance of her personal life, including her cherished relationships with her children, amazing friends, and supportive family who truly understand her. The Kylie Cosmetics founder finds solace in the genuine love she has around her, stating, “If this all went away tomorrow, I know I have real love to fall back on. That’s all that matters to me, so it becomes easier.”
