Kylie Jenner has opened up about feeling like her looks have "never been accepted."
The makeup mogul has been famous since she was just nine years old appearing on Keeping Up With The Kardashians with her celebrity siblings and parents. Then when she underwent an image transformation as she entered her mid-teenage years all eyes turned to her newly plumped up lips and the claims - and denials - surrounding her use of fillers to achieve the look.
Kylie, 26, was just 16 when he first appeared with her fuller-lipped look as she initially denied using any cosmetic enhancements and put it all down to over-lining her pout. As the trend took off as a result she went on to make millions from selling her Kylie Lip Kit with girls globally desperate to get their hands on one.

Now she has opened up to The New York Times about feeling under constant pressure over her looks. She said: "It's just years and years of not feeling like my face or looks are accepted. There's nothing anyone could ever say now that would hurt me."

She also denied having surgery as she explained people forget she has turned from a child into a woman and a mother all in the public eye. She continued: "You guys have watched me grow up since I was nine. My face is going to get different. Now, I know how to do my makeup, contour and everything. I’m not against surgery. I’d never say no, but I don’t desire it right now."
Kylie previously dismissed claims that she had undergone more cosmetic work than she admits to and insisted she’s only had fillers in spite of her changing looks over the years. Talking on The Kardashian's last year she said: "We all have our little things, so it's normal to be insecure sometimes, but I always just remember being like the most confident kid in the room. I always loved myself, I still love myself.

I’ve only gotten fillers, and I feel like I don’t want that to be a part of my story. I will always want everyone to just love themselves."
Kylie has also responded to claims she changed her look for Hollywood star boyfriend Timothée Chalamet. She explained that she has gone for a more natural vibe after having two children and that she doesn't "have this thick mane down to my butt, I don't have lash extensions, I don't have these long claws."
While she didn't want to discuss their relationship in great detail when quizzed on if her changing looks were related to Timothée she said: "I don't know how I feel about that."
