Kris Jenner’s Changing Looks Through the Years and Her New Beauty Routine
- Kris Jenner, known for her iconic smoky eye makeup, has recently been experimenting with softer, more elevated eye looks and a fresh-faced makeup aesthetic.
Kris Jenner has one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. The reality star and self-certified "momager" has been on TV screens and red carpets since the early 1990s, with her arched eyebrows and defined cheekbones. She's openly admitted to undergoing both invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including a neck and face lift in 2011, Botox and an earlobe reduction in 2018. Up until recently, she stuck to a single makeup aesthetic: the smoky eye. Now, she's opting for more of a fresh face.
Her makeup artist of nine years, Ash K Holm, told WWD she's been "playing with softer, more elevated eye looks using light tones on the lid and in the crease." For Jenner's base, Holm keeps both her skincare and makeup products minimal, going in first with Augustinus Bader's The Rich Cream before using the Lancôme Teint Idole foundation and the Kylie Cosmetics Hybrid Blush in Summer Sorbet.
