Jennifer Lawrence has spoken out against the rumors that she has undergone plastic surgery.

During a conversation with Kylie Jenner for Interview magazine, the 33-year-old Hunger Games star opened up about cosmetic surgery speculation she's faced recently.

On the topic of her makeup empire, the Kylie Cosmetics founder told Lawrence that she created her famous lip kits because of her desire to have "big, fat, juicy lips," and had been overlining them to achieve that fullness.

The Academy-Award-winning actress then responded by accrediting her new look - which had many people assuming she had work done to her face - to makeup techniques and time.

"That’s really, really cool," the Silver Linings Playbook lead told the 26-year-old beauty mogul.

"And I also think it’s incredible what makeup can do because I work with Hung [Vanngo], who overlines the lip, and I call him a plastic surgeon because everybody in the last few months since I’ve been working with him, is convinced that I had eye surgery," she added.

Shocked by the comment, Jenner responded: "Stop," but Lawrence wasn’t kidding, as she proclaimed: "I’m like: 'I didn’t have eye surgery. I’m doing makeup.'

"Well, apparently, I’ve had full plastic surgery," Lawrence quipped, referring to the accusations that began after she stepped out for the Dior Fashion Show in September.

Despite many social media users suggesting she had gotten filler in her lips and a nose job, the No Hard Feelings actress pointed out the fact that it’s completely normal for your face to change as you get older.

"I started at 19, so I get the before and after pictures from when I’m 19 to 30 and I’m like, 'I grew up. I lost baby weight in my face, and my face changed because I’m aging,'" she explained.

Jenner, who also famously started over-lining her lips as a teenager to make them appear "fuller", explained how her experience with makeup has also changed as she's grown older and shared her frustrations with people making assumptions about her looks.

"I’ll see before and after photos when I’m 12 years old versus 26 and my eyebrows are filled differently. I have contour on. I’m like, 'How can you compare my 12-year-old face and say I’ve gotten my jaw shaved and eyelids removed?' I’m like, 'What are we talking about?'", she said.

While this is the first time that Lawrence has addressed the plastic surgery allegations publicly, Jenner has been fighting off the rumors for years.

In an episode of her famous family's reality TV show, The Kardashians, the mom-of-two hit back at the claims that she’s changed her 'whole face' through surgery.

"One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I was this insecure child and I got so much surgery to change my whole face, which is false," she said on an episode of their Hulu show. "I’ve only gotten fillers. I don’t want that to be part of my story."

The social media personality - who boasts over 399 million followers on Instagram - maintained that she has always been extremely confident and would never do anything to drastically alter her appearance - especially now that she has a daughter.
