Kylie Jenner Looks Stunning Without Makeup

As the face behind one of the world's most popular cosmetics companies — and one of the most followed beauty icons on Instagram — Kylie Jenner is guaranteed to always flaunt a perfect face of makeup. But while the reality star may be known for her Kylie Cosmetics lip kits and Vogue cover shoots, she's also not averse to letting her natural beauty shine. Whether it's a carefree summer selfie by the pool, a behind-the-scenes quick flick taken on her private jet, or a makeup tutorial from scratch, Jenner isn't afraid to go fresh-faced for the camera. 

In a world full of unrealistic beauty standards, it takes a certain amount of self-love to rock a makeup-free look — especially if you're under the microscope of fame at all times. Jenner opened up about the state of her confidence on a Season 5 episode of Hulu's "The Kardashians," confirming that she still likes what she sees when she looks at herself, despite all the haters have to say. "It's, like, a miracle that I can still have confidence, and I can still, like, look in the mirror and think that I'm pretty," she told her sister Kendall Jenner, per E! News. "People have been talking about my looks since I was 12, 13. Before I even got lip filler, people talked about my looks." If her makeup-free snaps are anything to go by, it's clear that the nasty comments haven't broken Jenner's spirit. She's still regularly appearing makeup-free and confident, and looks absolutely flawless while doing it. 

With a beauty empire under her belt, Kylie Jenner is in hot demand for makeup tutorials, so her followers can see how the magic happens. The mother-of-two appeared bare-faced in this 2023 Vogue tutorial, and Jenner's even skin tone was the star of the show as she went through the essential steps in her routine. She started with concealer and contouring before moving on to lip stain, eyeshadow, and eyeliner. While she looked amazing by the end of the video, the truth is she was stunning to begin with. 

There's a time and place for glam, but flying isn't one of them — even if you're one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan on your jet. Kylie Jenner posted this makeup-free snap which was taken in transit on a summer 2024 business trip to New York City to promote her clothing brand Khy. Besides fluffed brows and perhaps some lip balm, the reality star clearly took some time out to let her skin (and freckles!) breathe on the flight, and she looked flawless. 

In another makeup tutorial for Vogue, which was posted back in 2018, Kylie Jenner kicked things off with a fresh bare face before delving into the most important parts of her beauty routine: lips and brows. The goal of the video was owning self-confidence, but Jenner already seemed confident without a lick of makeup on in the start of the video — and it's easy to see why. The model's makeup-free complexion was clear and even with and without the products in her beauty toolkit. 

If there's one place Kylie Jenner loves a good makeup-free selfie, it's by the pool. And why wouldn't she? Even with wet hair and without an ounce of makeup, the beauty mogul looks ready to take on the world in this 2024 selfie. While we adore her signature makeup looks, going sun-kissed and natural lets the world see the extent of Jenner's undeniable beauty.

As she grew up in front of the camera, Kylie Jenner went through quite a scrutinized transformation. But contrary to what the haters say, her beauty has always been there. In this video posted ahead of her 18th birthday party in 2015, Jenner appeared makeup-free before getting glammed for her milestone bash, and we can see all the same natural beauty features that she flaunts now: even complexion, a dusting of freckles, and beautiful eyes that don't need makeup to shine.
