Ahead of the highly anticipated release on Friday, the 68-year-old momager posted a video to Instagram alongside her makeup artist, Nikki, while getting ready for a show during Paris Fashion Week.

However, many fans noticed that the “Kardashians” star’s makeup looked impossibly flawless and called her out for not giving an accurate look at the products.

The launch came two years after the Skims founder, 43, shut down her KKW Beauty brand in an effort to morph all of her brands into one “so that it was easier for the consumer.”
Kardashian told People that she wanted to have all of her brands under the same name. kimkardashian/Instagram“We had KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance, and then would have done KKW Skin,” she explained to People in an interview published Friday.
“The customer would have to go to three different sites in order to purchase products with different shipping costs, different manufacturers, and we’d have three different social media accounts,” she explained.
Despite her makeup no longer being called KKW beauty, the media mogul says the new products are very reminiscent to her old stuff — only better.
“This is the evolution of who I am and the original brand — and it was important that the quality of the product is better, the packaging is better, and I am listening to what my consumers want,” she told the outlet.
