Kylie Jenner and her sister Kendall are on nearly every magazine cover this month. It sure feels that way. Kylie takes the Teen Vogue May honors with another “makeup” transformation. In part of the editorial, Kylie sports the dreadlocks that I talked about when covering the Zendaya dread story after the Oscars. Kylie’s dreads were seen as “edgy” by the media.
In the interview, Kylie discusses the importance of family. She’s only 17 but knows she wants tons of children (perhaps to repeat Kardashian history). Teen Vogue’s editor-in-chief Amy Astley writes that “baby sister is clever and in control.” We’ll see. I don’t think any 17-year-old can be in control, especially when she’s dating a 25-year-old guy. Does Kylie think she’s in control? Sure. All teens feel like they know best.
The most interesting part of this interview is about Kylie’s exhaustive hair and makeup routine. Beyond the 40-minute lips and 2-hour showers, Kylie says it takes at least 2 hours to prepare herself for leaving the house. Teenagers spend a lot of time staring into the mirror, but this is beyond normal, right? Some excerpts:
She wants to be a mom: “Having sisters is the best. I have a different relationship with each of them. I go to Kim for fashion advice, Khloe is always boy and family advice, and Kourtney is like another mother to me. It’s so fun being an aunt. When I look to the far future and decide to have kids, I need to have a million girls. Ten years from now–in 2025–I hope I have a kid.”
Her prep time: “I never really wear makeup unless I need to, because when I do my makeup I like to really do my makeup. So I’m never going to spend just 20 minutes, you know? A good night out is, like, two and a half hours for full makeup, curling hair, whatever. I love false lashes — individuals, strips, extensions. … [but ] I’ve realized people really like my no-makeup selfies.”
On her new $2.5 million home: “I’m moving out when I turn 18. I’m ready to live on my own. It’s a really big step, but I’m ready. I wanted a house near my family in a quiet neighborhood with a front yard and a backyard that my dog will like. Also, I have so many shoes, and none of them fit in my old closet.”
She reads comments: “Today I posted my Instagram picture three different times. I kept deleting it and re-posting it because I kept looking at the comments and they were bad comments. And I was like, ‘Ahhh!’ and I kept re-posting it. The people who take the time to write these comments are so mean and hateful, like they just want to come at you and hurt you. You can read 1,000 nice comments but remember the mean one. I think you should only really listen to what your family and your close friends say. I try to let it go in one ear and out the other and just stay positive.”

Kylie also reveals how she wants to go blonde (like big sister Kim did?) this summer. So get ready for that one. I chuckle at Kylie’s mention of “no-makeup selfies.” Anytime a Kardashian-Jenner claims to have a bare face, they’re always lying. Maybe they think foundation, contouring, and nude lips don’t count as real makeup. With all the time Kylie spends getting ready, I’m amazed that she has time for anything else. But she’s been busy. She went shopping in a tiny dress. She showed off some blue contacts “for fun” on Instagram. She also went grocery shopping with Tyga.
For fun
