Kylie Jenner’s suspiciously plump lips are no longer sealed.
The 17-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and teen icon (repeat: 17-year-old) has confirmed that her signature pout is courtesy of lip fillers, not just puberty and lipliner, as she has previously implied.
Kylie, being the youngest, most alternative member of the Kardashian/Jenner family, is their default Tumblr queen. Teenagers obsessively turn to her selfies for fashion and beauty inspiration so they, too, can select the perfect fake eyelashes for the gym.
Following the #KylieJennerChallenge, where teens posted selfies after attempting to plump their lips using shot glasses and bottles, it became clear that her coy responses to questions about her lips were actually dangerous.
Jenner tweeted her version of “be yourself, everyone else is taken!” in response.
I want to encourage people/young girls like me to be YOURSELF & not be afraid to experiment w your look. ❤️❤️❤️

Jenner will finally come clean in Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, putting any doubt surrounding her cosmetic procedures to rest. In the following previews released by E!, big sister Khloe encourages Kylie to be honest about her enhancements, explaining it is part of her responsibility as a person in the public eye.
Now that her lips are no longer up for debate, hopefully teenagers will turn to safer Kylie Jenner challenges, like eating spring rolls and cuddling small dogs.
