  • Kendall Jenner Got Lip Injections, It's Not Makeup
    www.hollywoodlife.com Kendall Jenner Got Lip Injections, It’s Not Makeup — Experts Say OMG! Kendall Jenner had fans doing a double take on Nov. 21, when she debuted a plumper pout during a Facebook Live session. Although Kylie claimed she transformed the supermodel’s look with makeup, experts are telling us that she would need lip injections for that effect! Kendall Jenner, 21, is known for her natural beauty. So needless to say, fans lost it when they noticed the supermodel debuting a much plumper pout during a Facebook live session with her sister on Nov. 21. Kylie Jenner, 19, took to social media to deny the rumors, claiming she enhanced her sibling’s lips with the help of liner. However, HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY spoke to plastic & reconstructive surgeon, John Zannis, who told us his opinion on her seemingly transformed look! “This recent photo looks very much like lip injections were used. The raised vermillion border is a tip-off, especially since it wasn’t present in earlier photos.” He added, “Other possibilities are permanent lip implant or very temporary irritants used to cause lip swelling.” The ladies made their highly anticipated appearance for a Q & A regarding their second authorial debut Time of the Twins: The Story of Lex and Livia, but many were more focused on Kendall’s lips. When it seemed as though the supermodel had followed in her sister’s footsteps, Kylie immediately did some damage control. “You guys, Kendall let me over line her lips today with lip liner and now everyone thinks she got injections,” she said via Snapchat.
