They've inspired a painful internet challenge, had a cosmetics range created in their honour, and been the subject of countless make-up tutorials.

But now Kylie Jenner has signalled she could be ready to say goodbye to her plumped-up lips.

Speaking in a new video on her app with make-up artist Joyce Bonelli, Kylie mentions she has been favouring a more natural pout of late.

"You know what’s weird? I’ve been into small lips lately," Kylie says in the clip.

"Like, I want them to look small."

And while we can't see Kylie reverting to her teenage thin-lipped look any time soon, it's true she was rocking a more natural-coloured pout last night, at least.

The 19-year-old was pictured at New York's Soho Hotel for the Balmain X H&M show, which featured her big sister Kendall.

Clad in a show-stopping embellished Balmain dress, Kylie could afford to tone down her lips a little for the night.

And with her black bob making a return too after a series of blonde (and green) wigs, it seems like the reality star is ready to embrace her true self again… at least for a while.

Nowadays we pretty much have a make up trick in the book to fool everyone. From contouring to strobing, concealing and filling in, we know how to do it all.  

But this year the whole world went crazy for big lips (cheers, Kylie!) and now there's a new trend in town that will achieve the plump lip look without any fillers or injections. #score

What's more is that you will not only look like you have a fuller pout, you will have two gorgeous colours gracing your lips and that is bound to make you look fabulous, no matter what other make up you have on.

All the trick comes down to is SHADING. It's like contouring on your lips (because we can contour everything now) and the use of two colours, one darker that the other, creates depth and fullness. 

The Make Up Store's creative director, Maria Gabriel, commented on the new trend saying: "The technique has changed from the ombré shifting from top-to-bottom on the lip, to instead start at the corners of the mouth and fading into the centre". 

Here is a little lesson on how to ace the trend. Believe us, you will be racing to your lipsticks to try and achieve this.

 

1. To start off you need to prep and prime the whole lip. Make sure your lips are fully covered in primer as it is an essential part of the process. Then line the outside with a natural lip colour to keep the lipstick from bleeding.

2. Next, choose a neutral lip liner and completely fill your lips with it. This is to make sure the colour is consistent throughout .

3. Clean or cover up any lip liner that's slipped with concealer so you have the perfect outline and get them looking precise and perfect.

4. You now have to get your dark lip shade and feather the outer corners of your lips, then blend the colour in using a lip brush. 

5. To finish, get your lighter lip shade and fill in the centre of your lips to give you that pop of colour!

 

And there you go! The secret to the perfect pout.

While Kylie’s lips have received the majority of her attention recently, more and more, the 17-year-old has been posting provocative photos online, gaining herself some unwanted criticism.

The latest one shows the youngest member of the Kardashian clan clad in leather and lace, wearing a dominatrix-inspired outfit.

Since being linked to 24-year-old Tyga, it seems Kylie is going out of her way to show the world she isn’t a child, but is this really the best way to do that?

We know growing up in front of cameras and in the public eye speeds up the process, but she really should enjoy being 17 and stop trying to be a sexually mature adult.

The teen also posted an intimate shot with make-up artist Rob Scheppy – picture that is sure to reignite speculation that she’s had cosmetic surgery on her jaw and lips.

Is she trying to follow in sister Kendall’s modelling footsteps? We’ll find out soon enough…

The first wave of Kardashian culture didn’t touch me, but now I’m 25 and obsessed with the life and style of a 17-year-old – how did this happen?

Let me take you back a few years; it’s 2009, I’m in college and one of my best friends messages me a video of Kim Kardashian crying hysterically because she lost an earring whilst swimming in a lake. I watch with mild disinterest, shrug and return to my essay, feeling irritably smug. You see, although I wasn't adverse to the odd browse through PerezHilton.com, I was certainly not at the level of Kardashian-worship that had become worryingly common within my group of friends.

The whole Kim K make-up and fashion obsession passed me right by. I can’t do a pale nude lip without looking like some kind of mannequin dummy used to practice first aid on, and bodycon has never, ever been my friend. I had never even watched an episode of the show until late last year, but somehow the Kardashians caught (or should that be kaught) up with me.

Now, in 2014, a colleague and I regularly tag each other in Kylie Jenner’s Instagram photos; we exchange gossip articles charting her lip inflation, and discuss whether she really has had them enhanced. Her confirmed MAC lip shades of choice (Soar and Velvet Teddy, FYI) were my best finds since a 60%-off Sophie Hulme bag last year.

I admit I was briefly depressed upon finding out that Kylie was born in 1997, but it hasn’t deterred me from following her rise to fame.

A recent article from BusinessWeek revealed that Kylie is already a millionaire, and online search trends have been pointing to a consistent rise in her popularity compared to the older Kardashians over the past two years. Beauty vlogger Nic Chapman (one of YouTube’s most popular make-up artists) says that she now receives far more requests for a ‘Kylie’ tutorial than a ‘Kim’.

So why Kylie and not Kim? Kylie’s just cooler, or, as she’d say, ‘a little more chill’ in her approach to style – she’s just more accessible.

I’ve always been more than a little bit attached to my leather jacket, so the all-black wardrobe and ‘90s makeup kind of do it for me. I’m not saying the youngest Kardashian is super-original, but her brand of style is at least a little less predictable than her predecessors. Oh, and let’s not forget that youth is hot. It’s universally appealing, and Jenner appears to be at that rare period where she will probably never be as beautiful again.

Is it okay to obsess? In healthy doses, I think yes. Imitation is the best form of flattery, as they say, and as long as I stick to recreating Kylie’s ‘90s makeup and not her skintight two-piece outfits, I’m fairly safe.

….right?
