Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is not only one of the most popular sisters of the bunch but also the most successful. The 21 year old, who recently gave birth to her baby daughter Stormi, has a thriving and expanding business in Kylie Cosmetics. However, her love for lip kits wasn’t born out of a place of confidence.

In a recent interview given to her step-sister Kim Kardashian for Evening Standard magazine, Kylie revealed that her empire was actually born from her insecurity about the way she looked as a teenager. “It came from an insecurity and I turned it into something. I was insecure about my lips, and lipstick is what helped me feel confident. And I feel like people could see that it’s authentic to me, and it was organic, and it just worked! ,” she said.

Kylie had earlier said on Life of Kylie that a boy she used to like once told her that he didn’t think she would be a good kisser because her lips are too small. His words affected Kylie a lot and she began overlining her lips with lip liners and pencils to make them appear bigger. She finally got lip fillers but has now decided she will not do that anymore. When asked about her thoughts on plastic surgery in the latest interview she said, “I feel like if it makes you feel better, and if that’s what you want to do, I’m not against it. Right now I probably wouldn’t do anything, actually.”
