People Are Finding Inconsistencies in Kylie’s Lip Kit Shades

If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of a little brand called Kylie Cosmetics. Founded by reality TV and social media star Kylie Jenner last year after the mega success of her first lip kits, the brand has grown to include not only matte liquid lipsticks, but metallic shades, eyeshadows, and eyeliner as well.

The brand hasn’t escaped criticism, though—from the beginning of her first launch, customers complained that her liquid lipsticks were too drying and thick, while others reported that they received empty packages in the mail. Now people are saying some of her lip kit shades are inconsistent.

Reddit user taffslavender posted this pic of her full size and mini versions of the color “Kristen,” asking other users if they had an explanation for the difference in color.


Several other people chimed in about their own experiences with color inconsistencies, with some even saying Kylie Cosmetics shipped them a color different than what they had ordered. One user noticed that the offending shade looked suspiciously like Kylie’s “Ginger” lip kit instead, with several people agreeing.

Will we ever learn the truth? Probz not. But with Kylie and her team constantly reviewing and improving her products, we’re hopeful that she’ll fix the problem soon.
