To be on the cover ofVoguewas “once just a wild dream” for Kylie Jenner.

Today, that dream became a reality, with the 21-year-old featuring on the cover of Vogue Australia’sSeptember issue.

For her firstVoguecover, ever, the cosmetics entrepreneur was interviewed by older sister Kendall Jenner about life and body image after becoming a mother to seven-month-old Stormi Webster.

“I feel like having a daughter, and thinking about beauty in the future, has definitely changed me, and I feel like it has made me love myself more and accept everything about me,” the mum-of-one said.

The images from Kylie’s cover shoot support that statement. They’re stunning, but one detail made us do a double take.

Not because it’s bad, but honestly, because we haven’t seen her like this, without a full face of makeup, for years.

To say Kylie isn’t wearing a lick of makeup on the cover would be both irresponsible and inaccurate.

But in comparison to the look she made famous and made her almost-billion dollar fortune from – over lined lips, lip fillers, false lashes, extreme contouring and bleached blonde wigs – you’d be forgiven for thinking she’s bare-faced in the images.

You can see the freckles on her nose through a swipe of sheer, lightweight foundation. It could even be tinted moisturiser with a touch of concealer – the cover’s makeup artist Ariel called Kylie’s look ‘moisturiser by Ariel’ on Instagram.

Her brows are filled in and defined, and her lashes have the volume that only comes with mascara or eyelash extensions. But really, that’s it.

Lip balm replaced her go-to lip liner and matte liquid lipstick. There’s no contour or highlighter, not even bronzer. In a way, there’s no facade. This is not the Instagram Kylie Jenner character we’re used to.
