Kris Jenner’s Changing Looks Through the Years and Her New Beauty Routine

How the reality star's face and hairstyle has evolved from the late 1980s to present day.

Kris Jenner has one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. The reality star and self-certified “momager” has been on TV screens and red carpets since the early 1990s, with her arched eyebrows and defined cheekbones. She’s openly admitted to undergoing both invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including a neck and face lift in 2011, Botox and an earlobe reduction in 2018. Up until recently, she stuck to a single makeup aesthetic: the smoky eye. Now, she’s opting for more of a fresh face.

Her makeup artist of nine years, Ash K Holm, told WWD she’s been “playing with softer, more elevated eye looks using light tones on the lid and in the crease.” For Jenner’s base, Holm keeps both her skincare and makeup products minimal, going in first with Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream before using the Lancôme Teint Idole foundation and the Kylie Cosmetics Hybrid Blush in Summer Sorbet.

Jenner’s also recently ditched her trademark pixie cut to grow a bob.
