Kylie Jenner offered fans an uncommon peek at her seemingly unedited, bare face, revealing a significant reduction in her lip fillers. The 27-year-old Kardashians star uploaded a wholesome, au naturel photo on Instagram as part of a large August 28th photo collection post. In the image, the Kylie Cosmetics founder appeared radiant and supple with her raven tresses pulled back into a bun, as she knelt beside her two-year-old son, Aire behind the scenes of an event.

Jenner’s famously full lips appeared noticeably smaller, and her natural freckles were on display instead of her usual tan. This unfiltered look, as reported by The Daily Mail, might surprise some of her 397 million followers, given that her billion-dollar brand is built on her enhanced appearance. Jenner has been using lip fillers since her teenage years, motivated by insecurity after a boy she liked deemed her naturally thin lips “unkissable.”

Although she claimed to have dissolved all her lip fillers in 2018, she later opted to have them reinjected.

Did Kylie Jenner 'Dissolve' Her Lip Fillers? Fans Think So After Seeing Her New Instagram Photo

In the comments section of Jenner's recent upload, one fan wrote: "I love fresh-faced Kylie! Her beauty really shines when she doesn't have makeup on." Another concurred, noting: "You look absolutely beautiful in this photo really gorgeous my love. I will say stunning." One other replied: "She is prettiest without makeup."

Over the past few months, numerous fans have observed a noticeable change in Jenner's personal style, leaning towards a more "natural" appearance ever since she started dating actor Timothée Chalamet last year. Her choice to don a "minimal" makeup look at a Paris Fashion Week event drew significant online criticism earlier this winter, with harsh detractors labeling her as "old-looking."

This wave of negativity deeply affected her, leading to an emotional moment in the latest season of Hulu's The Kardashians, where she tearfully recounted the painful online comments she encountered. She further confessed that the constant scrutiny of her appearance by strangers, who believe she has ruined and "f—ed up" her face, has been incredibly draining.    

Jenner began the conversation with her sisters by revealing that she had spent the past year on a journey, during which she had half of her lip filler dissolved. "'I hate having this same conversation over and over and over again because it feels like a waste of my breath because I think, with me, it's just never going to change," she said.

Tears welled up in Jenner's eyes as she questioned why strangers felt entitled to discuss her. She believes that the public often "dehumanizes" the Kardashian-Jenner women. "They don't think there's any rules with us, whereas if you talked the same way you talk about us about any other woman, people would come to their defense all day long," she shared.

Regardless of whether she goes without makeup or opts for a full-glam look, Jenner said she feels perpetually unable to satisfy expectations. "I wear too much makeup and it's like, "You wear too much makeup," then I go and don't wear a lot of makeup and someone catches me in some weird light," she added.

Jenner continued: "You can look at me in pictures since I was 13 – I just have these lines [around my mouth]. I've had them since I was a child." After enduring over a decade of intense scrutiny about her appearance, Jenner admitted to viewers that she has become desensitized to the criticism.    

Despite the unwavering support from her fans, Jenner said she can't ignore the remarks from critics who insist she's "ruined" her appearance through surgery.

"Like, "She did it to herself, she f—ed up her face. She has so much surgery,"" Jenner recalled of the comments she's seen. She added: "People have been talking about my looks since I was 12, 13, before I even got lip filler."   

As a woman in her late 20s, Jenner said she now views herself as a "confident person" and takes pride in her inner strength. "I think that I'm really strong and I was put in this position for a reason. I do think of myself as a confident person. I'm so grateful, so blessed, that I can wake up and look in the mirror and like what I see and feel beautiful," she revealed.

"But at the same time, there's only so much one person can take," she went on. "I just always keep pushing. I can't let the comments get me down. I have to because I have s—t to do!"
