The reason Jameela Jamil is slamming Kim Kardashian's new body make-up
"Hard pass"
Ever since Kim Kardashian first started teasing snippets of her "ultimate body-perfecting secret" on Instagram, we've been lowkey obsessed with learning the 37-year-old's favourite tips and tricks for achieving luminous, even-toned skin from head-to-toe.
While the launch of KKW Beauty's body make-up collection has gone viral thanks to those before and after videos, there’s something troubling about the message behind the line of products which teaches women to camouflage their scars and skin flaws. Leave it to body activist Jameela Jamil to say what many of us have been quietly thinking.
Three days after the mother-of-four launched her new collection of KKW Beauty body products, which includes a body foundation that Kardashian West credits for concealing her psoriasis flare-ups, the outspoken star has taken to Twitter to share that she would rather live with her imperfections than mask her body with makeup.
“Hard pass,” she wrote alongside a video Kardashian West had shared promoting the products.
“God damn the work to take it all off before bed so it doesn’t destroy your sheets… I’d rather just make peace with my million stretch marks and eczema,” she continued. “Taking off my mascara is enough of a pain in the arse. Save money and time and give yourself a damn break. ❤️”
This isn’t the first time that 33-year-old has fired back at the Kardashian family for promoting unattainable standards of beauty through their sponsored social media posts and content. Jameel’s criticisms have triggered online debate, with many commenters turning to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star herself, who provided a brief rundown of how her new product works and her own perceptions of the condition on her social media accounts – and there's no denying the incredible transformation.
“I’ve learned to live with and not be insecure of my psoriasis, but for days when I want to just cover it up I use this Body Makeup,” Kardashian said on the post.
