Though Kim Kardashian West began her career by sharing every single aspect of her life on her long-running reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she’s much more than a reality star. Over the years, the mother-of-four has been able to use her fame and recognition to turn the entire beauty industry on its head.

From the moment she rose to fame in 2007, the people have become obsessed with Kardashian West’s signature curvy and sultry look. She’s become so popular, that a ton of Instagram models all appear to have a “Kardashian-look.” In addition to her fans, the aspiring lawyer has also created an entire beauty brand based on her obsession with her look.

Though the KUWTK star’s brands, KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance have every beauty product imaginable, from lipstick to perfume, none of these products is the beauty item that Kardashian West can’t live without.

Kim Kardashian West is obsessed with having the perfect look

Though Kardashian West has certainly changed the beauty industry and popular culture as we know it, she’s also been greatly criticized. As people have shifted toward a more body-positive outlook, the starlet and her four sisters have doubled down on their quest for perfection.

Though none of the KarJenner siblings have admitted to cosmetic enhancements, it’s more than apparent that they’ve had various procedures over the years. Likewise, they seem to be obsessed with editing and filtering any and all of the phots that they post on social media.

Fans are not at all pleased by the Skims founder’s unrealistic standards of beauty. After all, her 17-product skincare routine cost a startling, $4,000. 

Kim Kardashian West often sleeps in her makeup

Though she spends a startling amount of money on her skincare, Kardashian West has very normal-looking skin. It’s even, mostly unblemished, but it’s certainly not flawless. After seeing a close up of Kardashian West’s skin, on Reddit user wrote,

She has amazing realistic looking skin, and keep in mind that she has access to the best skin products/treatments in the world. Don’t be deceived by the high skin standards put upon you, flawless skin doesn’t exist in real life, only on Instagram.

Kardashian West is also known to commit the number one skincare sin. She often sleeps in her makeup. In a 2018 episode of Busy Tonight, Kardashian West told Busy Phillips she sleeps in her makeup all the time.

“Oh, all the time,” she revealed. “Like even if I can’t have glam the next day, I’ll sleep perfectly and maybe I’ll redo my skin, but I try to salvage it for two days.”
