Fans began to criticize Kim for her techniques, wondering why someone who makes a living selling makeup does such a poor job at showing it off.
After being called out by the fans, as well as by makeup artist Jeffree Star, Kardashian went on a bit of a tirade in her next video.
“Guys, I have a huge f***ing pimple right here,” Kim stated. “I know the f***ing comments about my awful swatches are stressing me the f*** out, I know. I didn’t know how to f***ing swatch, get over it.”
For those who aren’t familiar, swatching is a technique used when showing off makeup. The makeup is applied to the arm to demonstrate how the color blends with the skin.
