A lot of people who complain about pop culture being influenced by Kardashians, including beauty standards, don't understand...the Kardashians were never relevant in the first place. Kylie might've had actual influence, but Kim never did. I'm pretty sure mommager Kris is paying millions to tabloids to keep Kim's name in their mouth - why do you think you hear their name so often in magazines, articles like Kim created boxer braids when that's a lie and who actually believes enough in that to create an article? They're not actually relevant and everything was just fake pr and marketing, selling an idea (why else would their first business ventures not do well, if they're supposedly popular? Because the actual fandom who likes and worships Kim is very small. And Kim is fame hungry so they try to stay in public eye by any means necessary. Admit it, things like BBLs were never set as trends by Kim or any of them, when Nicki Minaj and even Iggy Azalea were known for them and glamorizeing the bbl yeears before Kim got one. Stop buying the lies that they put out. They're not actual trendsetters (only the Jenners). Kim doesn't have any artistic bone or vision and nothing unique to put out and lead buy. Stop perpetuating lies that their marketing puts out and they'll fade into irrelevancy. The minute you stop mentioning their name even in these types of discussions of "oh I wish they stop being famous", they _will_ become irrelevant. This negative coverage is the only way they're even able to stay in the public eye in the first place. Do y'all not realize this? They're not actually famous and relevant it's all a facade and the faster the public realizes the sooner they'll become obscure

Kylie's level of fast marketing at this point is basically just her likeness and imaging entering public domain.

Every few months she's basically just licensing herself to a random company. I would say the exact opposite of this type of celebrity branding would be Jessica Alba's Honest brand, which at this point isn't even considered a "celebrity brand" but instead just a "brand" of baby care.

Skims is successful because of the co-founder Emma Grede. I fully believe if kim didnt have her skims would have floundered awhile ago. Look her up she is a very smart and savy business woman, and fashion designer. 😁

I can totally get why some people don't like liquid lipstick, but I genuinely love using it, even if it's a thin layer to put underneath a regular lipstick. It is dryer definitely but I don't find them too drying and the way they last etc. is just such a plus for me.

[@snipping.thorns]

I actually love liquid lipstick, but it definitely depends on the brand. Some are very drying but Lime Crime has a great formula.

[@whattheflameo]

I like to put a bit of liquid lipstick on top of lip balm, you get most of the staying power without that dry feeling. You can also blend it into that ombré douyin look very easily

[@lucy_with_me]

I have one non-liquid (solid??) lipstick which is an amazing colour but wayyy too cakey on my lips, so I mixed it with a clear liquid one and now it’s perfect. But other than that, I don’t really use the stuff tbh

[@shelley5449]

@@whattheflameo yesssss I always use a bit of lip balm before hand and I also find it makes the biggest difference

[@shelley5449]

I also really love using liquid lipsticks as coloured eyeliner too, (the dryer ones actually work better for this) although you gotta make sure the liquid lip colour is designed for that use, and definitely watch you don't cross contaminate stuff. But again, can work fab for some graphic eyeliner looks that are waterproof too. (Do wanna add that I never actually ended up trying any of Kylies so can't actually speak on her formula at all).

I remember getting a Kendal Jenner eyeshadow palette when I was 15. (For reference, im 20 now. I got it as a birthday gift.) While the eyeshadow was very pigmeted, it would come right off! I never knew about the KarJenners, but I always had a distaste for them. I always believed they were vapid and bound to fail eventually.

[@TJ-fi7cb]

She did a Masterclass a couple of years ago. Not sure if she spoke on exactly what you are looking for.🤔

[@mintjuleptea]

she already knew a lot of people from her first marriage, Irving Azoff's family (Eagles/general pop manager) are all their friends. Kathie lee Gifford recommended Kris do reality Tv, Kathy Hilton did Kris' baby shower when she had Kendall. A lot of the way she works seems to be from Irving Azoff actually, even similar things being said about them - he has been referred to as a 'devil'.

Literally so crazy to see what they all looked like in their early careers..... crazy how they look like different people. I feel like Kim and Kendall look pretty much the same, but Khloe and Kylie..... who is that

[@Royalty05]

Especially khloe. But honestly her self esteem must have been shattered badly because her ex’s treated her badly and on top of that being called the ugly sister, I can understand her motivation to change her looks.

[@Wilddiscodance]

I think og Kim to now looks crazy different. Like when she was first with Kanye to now…
