Kylie Jenner, one of the most famous celebrities in the world and founder of Kylie Cosmetics, recently surprised fans with a TikTok ad for Medicube, a skincare brand that is not part of the Kardashian empire. While some praised her for doing her job as an influencer, others criticised her for promoting products outside of her own brand.
This comes at a time when the 26-year-old star is also making headlines for her relationship with actor Timothée Chalamet and her recent appearance at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.
Fans Question Kylie’s Medicube Skincare Promotion
Kylie posted a video on TikTok where she used Medicube serum and another product to “absorb the skincare and smooth out wrinkles.” She even mentioned visiting the brand’s pop-up event with her close friend Stassie Karanikolaou.
However, fans were quick to notice the “paid partnership” hashtag in the caption, and the internet started buzzing.
Many viewers found it odd that Kylie would promote another skincare brand when she already owns her own, Kylie Skin.
“It’s weird that you’re promoting a skincare line and getting paid for it when you have your own,” one user commented.
Another added:
“It’s kind of embarrassing for her.”
Some fans defended her saying:
“Rich people stay rich by always working.”
Why Do Rich Celebrities Still Do Ads?
Kylie Jenner’s net worth is reported to be $710 million, according to Forbes. So why would she do ads?
Some say it’s a smart move:
“Money never sleeps,” one fan commented.
Others argued that people like Kylie diversify their income streams, which is how they stay wealthy. However, many also saw the ad as a bit “tacky” or unnecessary” for someone so rich.
Kylie’s Golden Globes Look Also Sparked Debate
Kylie also attracted attention earlier this year when she wore a 1999 Versace gown to the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, where she accompanied her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for Best Actor.
On a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kylie even called her mom, Kris Jenner, to ask whether the dress was too revealing. Kris reassured her, saying the dress was perfect — but fans online weren’t all convinced.
Some praised the daring look, while others felt it was “too much” for the occasion.
Kylie and Timothée’s Relationship Going Strong
Kylie and Timothée have been dating since 2023, and things appear to be getting very serious between them.
A source revealed:
“They both say they want to spend the rest of their lives together.”
Rumours of an engagement are already circulating among their close friends and inner circle.
