Kylie Jenner Faces Backlash for New ‘Blackface’ Photos | Kylie Responds
The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kylie Jenner, shared a few pictures on Instagram a few hours ago and her followers have called her out for ‘trying too hard to be black’.
The photos were taken by Marcelo Cantu and her skin was turned shimmery metallic silver, her brown eyes were a shade of blue and her hair was styled with a blue-black and fuchsia color.
A lot of people on Instagram and Twitter reacted:
Kylie Jenner will get lip injections, implants, airbrush to look darker, but in the end I KNOW this girl doesn’t want to actually be black

I dare a fashion blog or magazine to praise kylie Jenner’s blackface. You will get a response article from all of the black community.
