During a recent episode of The Kardashians on Hulu, the beauty mogul paid a visit to the Kylie Cosmetics lab in Milan, and let’s just say she wasn’t exactly following the rulebook.
You would think that someone as high-profile as Kylie would prioritize safety, but she walked into that lab without gloves or a mask, like she was ready for a casual hangout session with her makeup products.
Her long flowing hair was flowing, making us wonder if a strand or two would end up in our next lip kit. And believe it or not, she even expressed a desire to take a sip from a beaker of product.
Talk about wanting that extra glow from the inside out, but hey Kylie, that’s not the way to achieve it!
Meanwhile, the lab employees were all suited up, following proper safety protocols with hair nets and face masks, ready for action. But Kylie? She was just vibing, breaking all the sanitation rules left and right. It’s as if she believed she was immune to the regulations or something.

This isn’t the first time Kylie faced criticism for her lab behavior. Last August, she shared some Instagram photos from the facility, claiming she was creating “new magic” for her fans. However, the real magic seemed to be how she and her crew managed to bypass the whole personal protective equipment (PPE) routine. Seriously Kylie, as the queen of beauty, can’t you at least adhere to some basic hygiene guidelines?
Unsurprisingly, the backlash came in full force. Kevin James Bennett, a cosmetic developer, took to Instagram to call out Kylie and the manufacturing facility for their disregard of proper sanitation protocols. And Kylie’s response? She played the “I’m not in a manufacturing facility” card.
In the now-deleted comment she said, “Kevin — this picture is not taken in a manufacturing facility. I would never bypass sanitary protocols and neither would any other celeb or beauty brand owner.”
But girl, we all saw you getting hands-on, literally, with the products. That’s about as “manufacturing” as it gets!
According to a source, Kylie was allegedly there to review colors and brainstorm new ideas. Hopefully next time she keeps safety in mind.
