Kylie Jenner’s 2016 goals involve going without makeup: ‘It’s hard being a girl’

wenn23347857

We never got around to posting these photos of Kylie Jenner on Sunday night – she and Kourtney Kardashian came out for the InStyle and Warner Bros party after the Golden Globes. Kylie actually made an effort to NOT look so plastic. As it turns out, that was on purpose. Kylie has posted a video to her subscription app about what we can expect from her in 2016. It’s sort of a belated New Year’s resolutions thing, I guess. Kylie says that in 2016, she’s going to try to wear less makeup and “tone it down” in general.

Her plans for 2016: “I kind of want to tone it down…I feel like 2016, everyone’s on the natural wave, at least me and my friends. I just want to take my nails off, no hair, no make-up. It’s too much to maintain, sometimes. It’s hard being a girl.”

Her hair goal for the year: “Burgundy. I really want to do burgundy or red hair. It’s red vibes.”

Where she wants to go this year: “I’m kind of a homebody… I want to be home as much as I can. Actually, I want to go to Jamaica… because a lot of my friends have been and one of my best friend’s family is from there. So I wanted to go there and have fun. I feel like this is the year of the friends. In 2015 we all kind of got disconnected. I didn’t appreciate my friends as much as I should, and they just keep me grounded. If I didn’t have them, I feel I wouldn’t be myself… I see more of myself when I hang out with them. So 2016, the year of the friends. Always appreciate your friends.’

What she’ll accomplish: “What I want to accomplish for 2016 is a successful make-up line. I’m really feeling like this is my thing and I have my colors coming out hopefully the end of January or beginning of February and I’ll update you guys on the date.”

[From The Daily Mail]

You know what’s not in store for Kylie in 2016? Furthering her education. Community college classes. Reading a book. Paging through a dictionary. My mom and I were talking about the Kardashian-Jenner women (as one does with one’s mother) and I realized something weird: compared to Kylie and Kendall, Khloe and Kim seem like friggin’ geniuses. As for the whole “it’s hard to be a girl” thing – of course it’s hard to be a girl when you think life is only about social media, makeup and a sketchy boyfriend.

    you mean drag queen?

    • lkaye says:

      Lol!! If she thinks it is hard being a girl because she has to put makeup on, I feel even more sorry for her than I already did. I guess she learned it from Caitlyn

  2. Nancy says:

    She’s deep as the ocean, or at least a puddle of water from a short rainfall. I barely wore makeup, other than lipstick at 18. For her it’s a major achievement. Please be true to yourself little waif, a Kardashian…oops, Jenner, without war paint, surely you jest.

    • Lizzie McGuire says:

      Isn’t her whole business all about makeup? She has nothing else aside from the hair extensions, which she saying she won’t use. So what is she going to do now? What she should do is go to school, if she really wants to deal with her business it’ll help to get a degree. I’m asking for too much aren’t I?

    • Ayra. says:

      At 19, my makeup experience is limited to occasional mascara and lipbalm.

    • Valois says:

      There’s nothing wrong with wearing a lot of makeup.

      There’s also nothing wrong with pursuing a career in that field. The problem is that she’s not interested in doing that. She gives her name away to sell some poor quality lipsticks and think that makes her a business woman. No interest in work, in the product itself, in the quality… nothing.

  3. MissusAitch says:

    Dare I say it but she looks nice in that outfit. She still looks 20 years older than she actually is but I like the outfit

  4. Reine_Didon says:

    In 2016 I feel like it’s the natural vibes like no nails no extensions. But like keep shaving my jawline bones keep plumping my lips and keep plumping my ass and hips. I am like the most normal homy eva !!

  5. mimi says:

    It’s all about …. REALIZING stuff .. ya know?

  6. Redd says:

    Is that Kourtney? Is her face…natural?

  7. FingerBinger says:

    Is it me or does Kylie talk with an affect? Why is she doing a fireside chat?

  8. Frida says:

    Kourtney definitely did something drastic to her face. She used to be the only non-plastic looking one. I suspect she had lots of lipo after her third baby (her body shape changed drastically in a short amount of time), then went crazy with the fillers.

  9. lucy2 says:

    Her goal is to wear no makeup…and start a make up line? Makes total sense.
    Being a girl IS hard – all around the world women and girls are treated like second class citizens with little to no rights to voting, education, freedom, etc. Even in countries with more equality, we are still subjected to sexism, misogyny, body shaming, victim blaming…I could go on.

    Not that Kylie would know about any of that. But sure, wearing less makeup is hard too.

    • word says:

      Agreed !

    • MMRB says:

      The struggle IS REAL .. ya’ll .. R.e.a.l.

    • vauvert says:

      Thank you Lucy. It made me think of my life at 19. My father had defected a year before and in my communist home country that was a crime. My mom lost her job, I was tossed out of university, my brother was kicked out of school. We sold everything in the house to eat – we were only allowed to leave, eventually, with two suitcases each. Out of my entire life, that is all I took. I lost most of my friends since they were afraid to be seen with subversives. My fiancée and I were meeting in secret but eventually broke up under the pressures (his family was high up in the party) and I thought I was going to die from heartbreak. Obviously I didn’t, but at 19, it was hard.
      The government confiscated our home, and we had to stay in a hotel for the last month, worried we would run out of money. Luckily we didn’t and we left a few days before a bloody revolution started, but I remember it all being bloody hard.
      I can’t recall whether I wore any makeup during those days. But I am sure that must have been top of my mind….😫

      • Mindy says:

        Vauvert,

        You really put things in perspective and I can’t imagine the stress and trauma you experienced in your younger years. I wish it hadn’t been so and sincerely hope you have experienced some degree of peace and happiness in the years that followed.

      • Hazel says:

        Wow, thank you for that story. It puts everything else into perspective. I’m glad you survived & am assuming you thrived.

    • The Original Mia says:

      Preach it!

      She’s so deep…not. I’d be embarrassed to spout the ridiculousness she says, but I’m self-aware and she’s not.

  10. Pants says:

    She wants to wear less makeup but also create a makeup line?…

  11. swak says:

    So much to comment on. First, it’s “at least my friends and I”. Second, you, Kylie, don’t maintain your look, your makeup artist does. Second, one reason you probably got disconnected with your friends is because you concentrate on making everyone believe in your relationship with Tyga – constantly being photographed so that the break up rumors go away. You need to find a balance between being with Tyga (you’re too young to be in a serious relationship) and your friends. Then, even your goals are very superficial. So glad my children are well grounded and have higher goals than going to Jamaica and having a successful make up line (which would be fine if she was the one developing it and not just putting her name on it). As far as being a girl – once again we see the superficial coming through, as I am a woman but I don’t depend on makeup and designer clothes to define me.

  12. happyXamp says:

    Oh I’m sure it’s tough being a girl in her position. She gets to spend 3 hours playing with make up, walk outside have a picture taken and that’s it for her day. How about being a woman in a third world country? That would be hard for me.
    They keep trying to sell they’re like everyone else and honestly I can’t remember the last time I dressed my dog in designer duds (as I have no child to do that to). I’ve also never met anyone as narcissistic as they are in real life.

  13. Alarmjaguar says:

    Man, this makes me appreciate my mom and the example she set for me. It isn’t hard to be a girl* because you have to put on make-up – news flash, don’t put it on! I also find the ‘I’m going to tone it down resolution’ to be a bit at odds with the ‘I’m excited for my make-up line to come out.’

    *It may be hard for other reasons, of course, but that’s not what she’s talking about.

  14. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    Her poor face, there is just no going back.

    I think it’s evidence of why you shouldn’t A. Allow a teenager to nip and tuck everything she’s self-conscious about and B. Shouldn’t be a slave to ridiculous trends.

    There’s a mile of difference between over lining your lips with makeup and stuffing them with so much filler your lip line is obliterated. She can’t wear ‘less’ makeup now, just more subtle makeup. In the video above her lips make me wince, that’s not natural fullness, that’s when your mouth is still numb from going to the dentist and everything’s puffy.

    • Elle says:

      I have to agree. Those lips.. Ugh.. It looks as if she’s had an allergic reaction. And “realizing” what exactly???

  15. EscapedConvent says:

    It’s “my friends and me,” Kylie. You’d know that if you went to school.
    But I’m nitpicking. 😑

  16. Chem says:

    It is difficult being a girl. People talk very seriously to me about not using makeup or not taking selfies, it seems obligatory to do those things. They say I’m not feminine or that i’m weird. There’s a lot of criticism about those subjects when it comes to young girls. So, life seems to be about those things for us, at least from society’s point of view.

    • Frida says:

      My motto (and what I’m teaching my daughters) is to set the bar low. I wear minimal or natural makeup all the time. Going glam is fine, but not every day. The worst feeling is when people think you look like shit when you’re not wearing makeup. It’s called my face.

      • Pinetree13 says:

        When I go without makeup people constantly ask if I’m sick. Nope, this is what a natural face with under eye circles looks like.

  17. word says:

    She wants to go “natural” but at the same time is promoting her own make-up line. She wants to go “natural” but wants to die her hair burgandy this year. Does she know what “natural” means?

    Well if she’s not going to focus on make-up and selfies, what on earth will she do with her time?

    Lastly, do you think PMK is happy with Kylie declaring herself a “home body”? LOL this girl needs a dictionary. She doesn’t understand the meaning of words.

    • emma says:

      maybe more “natural” makeup, like make it look somewhat real looking without having such extreme makeup on all the time. wavy hair… coachella vibes probably. she’ll end up looking like vanessa hudgens.

  18. Debutante says:

    Try going without your family.
    Now there’s a worthy goal for 2016 .

  19. Dbomb says:

    LOL REALIZING STUFFFFF😆

  20. perplexed says:

    She doesn’t really sound dumb to me by Kardashian standards. She just sounds kind of unhappy being a Kardashian. If she had been born into a different family, she probably could have been a very different person in terms of her goals and interests….and it slightly seems like she knows that (I think?). She doesn’t sound delighted with her life the way Kim does. Does she like her mom? I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t.

    I’ll admit I don’t understand the make-up line idea in the year of the no-make-up resolution but I took the no make-up stance as a sign of small resistance to her mom’s goals.

  21. clarencebeeks says:

    Yeah, set those goals high Kylie.

    Her face looks so weird in motion. It really shows how filtered her Instagram pictures are, because in candids or when she speaks, she is nowhere near as pretty as she is in her IG pics.

  22. GreenTurtle says:

    i miss my friends because me, me, me! They ground me, I don’t feel like me without them, I see more of me when I’m with them. Girl, buy another mirror. That’s not what other human beings are for.

  23. Nope says:

    The Kardashians sisters (Kim and Kourtney) do have an ounce of their Fathers intelligence. Its hard to be a lawyer with no brains, so there must be some in the gene pool. Khloe and the Jenner girls though… no hope.

  24. My Two Cents says:

    I would not even recognize her if her name wasn’t under the pic. She must be flakey as all get out to say she’s going to stop wearing makeup at the same time she is coming out with her own makeup line. Geez the airheads!

  25. emma says:

    I hope she will be able to go through with the natural vibes.

  26. tw says:

    Stay in school, kids.

  27. MellieMel says:

    People seriously spend their money on this shit after that promo? “So, like guys, like 2016 is totally, like… about… like, realizing…. Stuff. Like…” Just shoot me in the face…

  28. latetoparty says:

    Wow what a stupid video
    Is this seriously how she speaks???

  29. Patty frost says:

    I don’t believe I’m saying this but can Kim Kardashians makeover people hurry up already! I want her back asap.

  30. Shaunna says:

    I have actually enjoyed not seeing Kim!!
