Jenner, 24, specifically responded to Kevin James Bennett, an Emmy-winning makeup artist who called out Kylie on Instagram after she posted photos from the lab on Wednesday.
Jenner insisted the photo she posted was not actually taken in a manufacturing plant and insisted she would “never” circumvent health protocols.

The reality star hit back at Kyle in the comments section of his post, writing: “Kevin – this photo was not taken in a manufacturing plant. I would never circumvent health protocols and neither would any other celebrity or beauty brand owner. it’s completely unacceptable, I agree.
“This is a little personal space where I create my own fun samples and take pictures for content that is nowhere near mass produced. no one puts customers at risk! shame on you kevin for spreading false information !!!!’
A back-and-forth ensued between the duo, as Kyle accused Jenner of “gassing” her followers.
“So you were standing on a platform looking into an expensive homogenizing kettle that had processed at least 50 liters of tint product (product still covering the mixing paddles) without PPE or your hair tied back wearing a lab coat @weareregi? But isn’t this a cosmetics manufacturing plant? Is it personal space? Wow, some serious gas burning going on here,” he replied.
‘shame on me? NO, shame on you or whoever handles social media for trying to make everyone think it’s my fault. Just take responsibility for your mistake and move on,” he wrote in a separate comment.
Kylie hit back yet again, this time insisting she should change her dog Kevin’s name because of the fight.
“Oh, were you there Kane? Ugh now I have to change my dog’s name,” she added.
“Are you seriously going to lie and then troll me? Wow,” she posted.
Bennett, an Emmy-winning makeup artist and beauty professional, posted a review of the images she posted on Wednesday
Kylie faced scrutiny on Wednesday after she posted snaps of herself in the lab where Kylie Cosmetics products are made.
The Los Angeles-born star captioned the clip, “In the lab creating new magic for you guys… better than ever,” adding her brand name to the post.
This led commentators to point out that Kylie was not wearing a hair cap, gloves and mask as she checked out the facility with her long hair hanging down.
One user wrote, “Wear a hair cap,” while another asked, “shouldn’t you be wearing gloves, a mask, and the hair net?”
Another user said, “I see there aren’t that many lab rules being followed,” while another said, “No gloves or hairnets in a lab?” or even a mask???”
Sources told Dailymail.com that Kylie was not on the production floor and was in the accessible area of the workshop where she could play with colors and ideas.
Several commenters on Instagram criticized the protocols followed in the clip
Eventually, the images caught the attention of Bennett, who took the matter seriously.
“I’m a cosmetic developer and I work with cosmetic manufacturers (and their labs) as part of my job,” Bennett said. “I have very short hair and have NEVER been allowed into the lab or production floor without a hairnet, shoe covers, mask…and Disposable Gloves.”
Bennett claimed that Jenner “made her fans believe she was creating cosmetics,” adding that he questioned “what ignorant manufacturer … let her stage this photo shoot in her lab and manufacturing space – without following proper hygiene protocols .
“I need the name because I want to make sure my clients NEVER work with them.”
He ended by saying, “Fans, we don’t create cosmetics this way and we’re misrepresenting the way our industry works. Trusted manufacturers follow STRICT hygiene protocols to protect you.’
Dailymail.com has reached out to Jenner’s reps for comment on the review.
