Fans of KKW Beauty have reason to celebrate, as Kim Kardashian has announced the return of her popular nude lip liners and lipsticks with an upgraded formula. In an interview, Kardashian asserted, “I would see all the social media [posts] about everything [fans] wanted to bring back and I made sure we did that times 10. I really think they’ll see [it] in the formulas and the packaging. I really hope that they love it just like they did KKW Beauty.”
The new collection, SKKN By Kim Makeup, features 15 velvety lip liners, 10 smooth matte lipsticks, and one neutral matte eyeshadow palette, all presented in Kardashian’s signature griege color scheme. She emphasized her commitment to authenticity, stating, “I’m just not trying to do anything that I don’t really love and that I wouldn’t really use.” This approach translates into a neutral palette that some may label as basic, but Kardashian believes it resonates with a specific customer base.

In reflecting on the evolution of her brand, Kardashian noted, “We got that the first time with KKW Beauty — we would get, ‘Oh, another nude palette, more nude lips’ and then it would be our best sellers and they would sell right out. You have to do what’s true to you.” She added humorously, “Luckily, my sister makes amazing makeup, so I say, go to KylieCosmetics.com for the colorful stuff if that’s what you’re looking for.”
Kardashian also emphasized the effort put into developing the shades within the new line. “We really put in the work on the shade matching,” she remarked, referring to the variety from light beiges to deep browns. Many beloved shades from KKW Beauty have been reincorporated, alongside new colors intended for wider appeal. “I really want SKKN to be [about] enhancing your skin,” she stated, focusing on a blend of skincare and color cosmetics.
A review of the new launches indicates high expectations amongst fans familiar with KKW Beauty’s earlier offerings. Early impressions of the lip liners and lipsticks suggest a distinct evolution in quality.

Kardashian’s lip liners are designed as a classic pencil option, offering a creamy, pigmented formula that glides smoothly onto the lips. “These lip liners are absolutely not dry or chalky,” one reviewer noted, emphasizing comfort even for those with chronic dry lips. The range includes shades that aim to complement various skin tones, enhancing the natural lip colors. Reviewers were particularly enthusiastic about finding their ideal nude shade.
The collection also introduces SKKN By Kim’s Soft Matte Lip, which has been praised for its velvety feel while maintaining color depth. Although the matte finish is evident upon application, it avoids the drying effect often associated with similar products. Consumers are encouraged to hydrate their lips prior to use to ensure optimal application.
As 2024 approaches, the return of the matte lip in makeup trends seems inevitable. Kardashian’s latest collection positions itself as a viable option for those looking to stay ahead in this evolving landscape.
