Beauty is in the eye of the beholder — but who’s holding the mirror? The Kardashian-Jenner sisters, often in the spotlight for altering their appearance, are now expressing concern over the beauty standards that have come to affect them.
Last week on Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” Kylie Jenner broke down crying while discussing the public’s criticism of how she looked after Paris Fashion Week last year, saying it’s a “miracle” that she still finds beauty and confidence in herself.
The influencer said that she wore less makeup following feedback from critics but was then disparaged for apparently wearing too little.
“That’s a general thing with our family,” sister Kendall Jenner responded. “We’re dehumanized. They don’t think that there’s any rules with us. … They don’t think we have any feelings.”
