Kylie, 26, took to Instagram on Monday to share never-before-seen throwback pics from her trip to an Italian cosmetics factory in August 2022.
In the first snap, the reality star posed as a makeup scientist, wearing a long white lab coat while leaning over a massive vat of foundation.
The TV personality’s lengthy black hair was left loose and hanging along her back.
In a second photo, Kylie captured her hand while holding a measuring glass full of product.

She had on long pink acrylic nails and sported a silver heart ring on her pointer finger.
The Hulu star also included a shot of the makeup’s packaging which consisted of small pink and nude pumps and bottle lids.
She captioned her post: “Throwback to August 3rd 2022. my trip to italy to finalize our first foundation for @kyliecosmetics i’m sooo excited for you guys to finally try this beautiful formula !!!”
FAN BACKLASH
But fans were not impressed by the post, many referring back to when she initially visited the factory and seemingly did not follow normal protocols.
One took to Reddit where they reshared the photos and wrote, “Oh Kylie have we learned nothing. She’s back in the factory with her long a** hair .. not wearing a hair cap.
“Am I the only one who remembers the uproar when she did this previously lmao.”
“Kylie acting like some sort of chemist as if her products aren’t made in a sweatshop somewhere in Asia,” a second trolled.
“HELL, she may not know what A TEST TUBE is or looks like!” a third joked.
“You’re supposed to have long hair tied back, no long nails, and no jewelry while in the lab. Even 8th graders know that shit.
“What a poser,” a fourth claimed.
“As an actual chemist, the science cosplay pisses me off so much,” a fifth remarked.
“Along with the hair, generally speaking, anywhere you’re wearing a labcoat, you should probably also be wearing gloves and safety glasses, especially if you are getting that close to the tanks, mixers, and hoppers,” a final explained.
Kylie removed the photos shortly after posting.
PLAYING DRESS UP?
The mother of two first ruffled feathers on the topic back in August 2022, when she was accused of pretending to be a scientist during a photoshoot at the Kylie Cosmetics laboratory in Milan, Italy.
The reality star took to her Instagram feed at the time to share a series of photos and videos from the makeup creation process.
In the first, the TV personality wore a white lab coat over her baggy jeans and sneakers, while she reached across the counter for a pink bottle.
Kylie then shared the photo of herself peeking into a huge vat of liquid, examining the shade.
The Hulu star snapped a test tube filled with product and a shelf filled with jars of sparkly makeup.
She leaned over a glass jar of red liquid as it was measured and weighed.
Kylie watched as the makeup spun round and round in the glass, and later she measured gold and white powder by scooping it onto a scale.
The beauty mogul captioned her post: “In the lab creating new magic for you guys better than ever. @kyliecosmetics.”
But fans were not pleased by the post, slamming the TV star as they claimed she was “pretending” to be a scientist.
