They’ve caused quite the stir over the past year, and are responsible for placing the youngest Kardashian-Jenner under intense media (and social media) scrutiny.
In fact, they became so famous, they’ve inspired their own violent and idiotic, viral video challenge.
So why is Kylie Jenner always covering her lips in photos?
Kylie is a prolific Instagrammer, and if Snap Chatting was an Olympic sport, the race for gold would be a total white-wash.
Throughout the never-ending wave of selfies, this camera-coy pose is an extremely common occurrence.
But according to an interview with Elle UK, Kylie’s pose has nothing to do with looking sexy, or drawing attention to her mouth. Quite the opposite.
“I was so insecure about my lips,” she told the magazine. “Even now I always post photos where my finger is always in front of my mouth…it’s a habit. I would always cover my lips.”

Sadly, Kylie’s habit wasn’t confined to her social media presence, but impacted her life offline too. “I couldn’t even talk to people. Or guys,” she admitted. ‘Like, [I’d be thinking]: ‘I know you’re looking at my lips, but you so don’t want to kiss me right now.'”
Her enhancement was a big decision. One that was (of course) documented on the family’s reality television show.
Here’s hoping Kylie’s growing confidence allows her to ditch her old, self-conscious habit.

She's making herself look at least 12 years older than her actual age with those injections and makeup. She looks almost the same age as her sister Kim, and Kim is in her mid 30s. I can't believe this girl is a teenager, and it seems to be trendy for so many teens/early 20s girls to do the same makeup looks, and they all end up looking the same with the same unoriginal style. Kendall and Kourtney are the prettiest in that family and seem to have had the least amount of work done.
Of course she protects her lips. Like Mick Jagger if she runs into a wall she will get stuck
