We’re Still Talking About This
Whether you hate or love the Kardashian-Jenner clan, it’s hard to deny the influence they have over the beauty industry. It seems like the girls are launching a new product every year, and Kylie has made quite a few waves with her makeup line. Known for her bold lips, she took what was working and ran with it. But you’ll find plenty of fans disappointed with the end results.
1. Velvet Liquid Lipsticks
Starting with the good stuff, it’s obvious that Kylie Jenner is known for her lip looks. This is why many people are excited to try her liquid lipsticks in both matte and velvet. With plenty of colors to choose from and cool packaging, it’s nice to get in on the hype. Unlike the matte version, few people complain about the velvet formula.
2. Everything Blush
Kylie is known for her blushy makeup, and she made those products accessible when she started selling over six shades to choose from. The idea was to accommodate every skin tone, and the blush is fairly popular too.
3. The Mattie Lip Kit
The matte lips often showcased in Kylie’s photos are her claim to fame, but as an actual product, this can be a hit or a miss. The cons of this product will be covered in the negative section, but for now, let’s focus on the positives. The colors are fun, the pigment is punchy, and when paired with the lip pencil, it can be quite a look.
4. Kybrow Pencil
There’s nothing like a bold brow to tie together a makeup look. You can comfortably add Kylie’s eyebrow pencil to your makeup routine for a bold shape. The pencil is easy to use and looks super cute too.
5. Birthday Sipping Pretty Palette
There are plenty of eyeshadow palettes to choose from when it comes to Kylie Cosmetics, but the Sipping Pretty one is certainly a standout. There are over 21 colors to play with, and the versatility means it works for everyday makeup to night-out looks.
6. Bronze Kyshadow Palette
If you know you’ll only need bronze and neutral colors when you’re on the go, then you can save some effort and just buy this bronze Kyshadow palette. You’ll get access to smooth matte finishes that come in everything from warm shades to cool colors.
7. Cheers Darling Kylighter Illuminating Powder
If there’s one thing Kylie is good at, it’s creating a little glow. This illuminating powder, in particular, sits perfectly on top of the cheekbones, nose, and forehead, creating an ethereal glow that will likely catch more than a few eyes.
8. Iced Latte Lip Liner
No matter what anyone tells you, Kylie’s actual best product is her lip liner. It’s the one thing she does well without any negatives. If you’re unsure which one to start with, go for the iced latte shade. The formula is super creamy and will last longer than you’d expect.
9. Ultra Glow Loose Highlighters
Kylie is known for her excellent highlights, which offer a lightweight loose formula and appear like a fine glow across the cheeks. You’ll likely receive many compliments wearing this formula, and with numerous shades to choose from, you’ll find one perfect for your skin.
10. High Shine Lip Gloss
When it comes to doing your lips, everyone knows you need a nice glossy finish as the cherry on top. If you’re already using Kylie’s matte lipsticks and liners, you might as well finish off the formula with the acclaimed high-shine lip gloss.
Now that we have talked about some of her bestsellers, here are some troubling products that might have you second-guessing the whole company.
1. Metallic Lipstick
You might have seen the lipstick online, it’s pretty hard to miss. The colors are a bit strange, and it definitely isn’t the look most people are going for. You probably won’t find much use for it, but it’s there if you ever want it.
2. Kris Eyeshadow Palette Collaboration
The Kardashian Jenner clan simply love working together, but maybe they shouldn’t. In a collaboration with Kris Jenner, Kylie Cosmetics put out a 12-shade eyeshadow palette that really missed the mark. The colors were hard to blend, chalky, and just a bit strange.
3. The Bronze Vacation Collection Eyeshadow Palette
You definitely want to skip buying this one, as experts themselves have warned people from using this palette. This is due to the use of aluminum in the formula, which is definitely bad for you and is heavily discouraged by experts.
4. The Brushes
If you’re into internet drama, you might have heard multiple internet personalities talking badly about the brushes. Trusted makeup artists in the space have stated that they are super expensive yet feel so cheap, and that you can find better products elsewhere.
5. Glitter Eyes Liquid Eyeshadow
Makeup artisans are always pushing the envelope, and liquid eyeshadows have garnered significant popularity. Kylie Cosmetics contributed to this trend with their own glittery formula, but the quality is definitely lacking. Plus, the lack of pigment makes it a nightmare to work with.
6. Calm Before the Storm Palette
Just take one look at this palette and you’ll know something’s up. The colors are just so weird, and the pigmented formula plus the cheap-looking metallic effect just make it a struggle to put on. Save yourself the headache.
7. Anything Skincare
Many fans have warned about the skincare products put out by Kylie Cosmetics. Some have complained of it drying out their skin, while others say they feel cheap and don’t seem to do anything. There are so many standout brands to choose for your skincare needs, so you’re better off shopping elsewhere.
8. The Wet Set Pressed Illuminating Powder
Since Kylie is known for her illuminating powders, you’d think this one would work out. The issue here is many believe the formula is actually a ripoff of ColourPop, which sells an identical formula for a fraction of the price. That means you’re better off buying this one from the affordable competitor.

9. Matte Liquid Lipstick
Now, the matte lipsticks may have received significant praise, but if you look a little deeper, you’ll see the cracks. There have been numerous complaints about the formula drying out people’s lips, making it completely unusable for some.
10. Loose Setting Powder
Returning to the world of powders, it really is a hit or miss when it comes to Kylie’s cosmetics. Unfortunately, her loose powders have left plenty of fans disappointed. There is very little quantity given at the price, and the quality just doesn’t make it worthwhile.
