Kylie Jenner started her first business when she was only 18 years old. It is called Kylie Cosmetics.
Jenner is known all over the world because of the brand, which started out as Kylie Lip Kits and has since grown into a full-fledged makeup company. Since the start of the brand in 2015, it has grown into a full-fledged group of makeup companies.
In an interview with E! that took place in August 2022, Jenner told E! News that it was easy for her to decide to start her own brand with her own products.
“I think it was the core of my obsession with makeup,” Jenner said. “That’s what made me love makeup so much, the self-expression behind it and the creativity.”
What is it like to work for Kylie Jenner, a business mogul who has grown her company a lot since it first started and hired a lot of people?
Here are the six worst things that the Kylie Cosmetics employees had to deal with at work:
No matter what, the employees were not allowed to look at Kylie Jenner.
A former employee of Kylie Cosmetics said that employees were not allowed to look at the reality star while they were working.
Martha Molasco was hired by a temp agency and worked at the factory from 2015 to 2017. She said that when Jenner ran the business, there were strict rules for the workers to follow.
“Supervisors would say, ‘Don’t talk to them, don’t even look at them,'” Molasco said.
“It was messed up. We were doing her product and we couldn’t talk to her,” she added. “We couldn’t see her. If we’re doing her product and all the work is on us, she should be aware of it.”
The employees were expected to try out different makeup products.
When Jenner needs to promote Kylie Cosmetics on social media, she usually has her employees try out different shades of the company’s products instead of putting them through the same tests that are done on animals.
People says that Jenner has said in the past that she has used her housekeeper’s arm as a canvas to show off different lip products on her Snapchat account.
It seems likely that employees will sometimes be asked to try out a product before it goes on sale to the general public.
Staff members are expected to work long hours.
Jenner has high expectations for her employees and expects them to work hard and long hours to get the products ready to ship.
According to HuffPost, former workers at Spatz Laboratories in California, where Jenner makes her products, talked about some of the bad conditions they had to work in. California is home to Spatz Laboratories.
Former workers are said to have complained about having to work “early morning shifts” and “long hours.”
Some people said that it felt like a sweatshop, and others said the same thing.
On the production line, it was expected that workers be fast.
Irene Lopez, who used to work at Kylie Cosmetics but has since left, talked in detail about her time there.
Lopez said that she was expected to make makeup products after only “five minutes” of training and that she was “verbally threatened” by her bosses if she asked questions. Lopez said she was expected to make makeup products after only “five minutes” of training.
“The supervisors I had there had been very degrading towards everybody,” she explained.
“Everything had to be perfectly made and if it wasn’t they would throw it away in your face like it was trash. If you didn’t go fast enough, you were going to get fired.”
During the time that Jenner’s products were being made, workers were told to keep quiet.
Lopez also said that she had to follow a very important rule while she was working.
“We had to be quiet and continue working,” she said.
“They would come around and just watch us on the machines or filling up the makeup tubes. They wouldn’t talk to us, they never talked to me, they would talk to the leads and just walk around and look at everything.”
Jenner often went to the factory to see how things were going.
Lopez also said that the Jenner family would often go to the manufacturing plant to check on how things were going.
The former worker said that Jenner did not talk to any of the workers at the factory when she went there. Instead, she just watched how the products were made.
