Kim Kardashian‘s face looked very different at the grand opening her flagship Skims store in New York City on Thursday.
And fans think they know why.
Followers took to X to share that the 44-year-old star did her makeup very differently for the high-profile event that saw her wear a low-cut top and tight slacks with heels as she rode a scooter to aid her broken foot.
‘She did her lips in a new way,’ said one fan. ‘She overlined her lips with brown liner and added lighter lipstick, it’s a ’90s thing.’
Another said, ‘Kimmy went wild on her lips, they massive, but it looks cool.’
Another blamed the hair: ‘She had bangs in her face, made her look like a different person.’
And this fan had a whole new theory: ‘She was sweating from pushing that darn scooter around all night so honey had a flushed look, she was dewy.’
