Refinery29: What is your signature technique for lip-gloss application?
Kylie Jenner: I love gloss because you can wear it by itself, or pair it with a matte lip. [My preferred method is] probably a dark liner and a matte lip underneath a gloss.
R29: How is this lip-plumping gloss different from others?
KJ: Our brand is clean and vegan and it has hyaluronic acid in it for hydration.
R29: Everyone knows you for your full lips, why did it take you so long to launch a plumping lip gloss?
KJ: I think it just takes a while to create products in general. It was also perfect to collab with Ulta Beauty and have this product.
R29: What were the biggest challenges?
KJ: Probably to get the right amount of tingle and plump. Also, the colors. But it was fun.
