Kylie Jenner has been open about her decision to get her lips enhanced, but she's now revealing why she really did it.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 23, is known for her perfect pout, but Kylie admits she wasn't too happy with her appearance as a teenager.
Opening up about her famous feature on the Kardashians Reunion with Andy Cohen, which inspired her highly successful line of lip kits, Kylie candidly explained what the driving force was behind her decision to plump her pout.
Asked by host Andy if her "lips and [her] insecurities around them" helped "catapult [her] into the beauty industry," Kylie didn't hold back in her answer.
She said: "For sure. I think my love for makeup started with my insecurity with my lips.
"I had really small lips, and I didn't ever think about it until I had one of my first kisses and a guy said to me, 'Oh my God, you're such a good kisser, but you have such small lips,' or something like that. From then on, I felt unkissable."
She added: "I had an insecurity because this guy said something to me one time. Then I got an obsession with makeup because I would overline my lips and it just made me feel confident."
It was then when mom Kris Jenner chimed in, telling her youngest daughter she should name one of her lip kits after him, before sister Kendall jokingly teased, "You should do a collab with him."
Kylie previously admitted to having lip fillers on an episode of KUWTK that aired back in May 2015.
She said at the time: "I have temporary lip fillers. It's just an insecurity of mine, and it's what I wanted to do. I'm just not ready to talk to reporters about my lips yet, because everyone always picks us apart. I want to admit to the lips, but people are so quick to judge me on everything."
Kylie - who is a proud mom to daughter Stormi - later shared similar sentiments during a 2017 episode of her E! series, Life of Kylie.
"I just didn't feel desirable or pretty. I really wanted bigger lips. I would overline my lips with lip liner just to create the illusion of bigger lips," she said. "And then finally I was like, this lip liner isn't doing it. [I] ended up getting my lips done."
