Kylie Jenner shocked fans as she showed off a more natural look while having dinner with a friend.
The Kardashians star, 28, was seen out and about in Los Angeles on August 1 as she joined her pal Ariel Tejada for a bite to eat at Chateau Marmont. In pictures from the night out, Kylie looked incredible as she opted for a minimal makeup look.
The pictures were shared on Reddit, with fans speculating Kylie might have had some of her fillers dissolved as they noted her pared-back aesthetic. Amid the speculation, aesthetics expert Amish Patel suggested the new look is Kylie trying to show fans the real her. It comes as a relationship expert suggested Kylie "could already be engaged" to her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror US, Amish said, "This is a very relaxed photo of Kylie from what we are used to seeing, which is red carpet Kylie, but we have to remember that Kylie is the queen of glam when it comes to stepping out in the public eye.
"With a successful make-up brand behind her name and a skilled make-up and style team around her, she always looks immaculate, so her appearance in this photo doesn’t surprise me - it's more the real Kylie behind the public facade, without her team of people."

Amish suggested Kylie seemed "very relaxed" in the photos. He added, "The lighting isn’t beauty lighting, just backlit, and while her face looks fuller and her nose looks different, I really believe this has nothing to do with having aesthetics or dissolving aesthetics but that we are just getting a rare glimpse of Kylie without beauty lighting and contouring make-up."
The expert continued, "Kylie has a naturally full face, but considering she is still in her twenties, this is what I would expect to see; it’s only as we head into our thirties and beyond that we start to see the face losing volume as our collagen levels start to decline.
"Her long dark hair frames her face; again, we don’t normally see her with this type of straighter hair; it normally has a soft curl added or she wears it up - hairstyles can have a huge impact on the face, and in fact this hairstyle, coupled with the empire line dress, makes her look much younger than 28."

Amish pointed out how Kylie has previously been open about getting lip fillers. He told us, "While her lips are full in this photo, they don’t look any different in comparison to other recent photos. They suit her face shape and don’t unbalance the harmony of the facial balance, which is important when considering any dermal filler work."
The aesthetics expert concluded, "The trend for celebrities to show themselves in a more natural light is something I really welcome. This helps manage unrealistic beauty expectations, especially on social media, where everything is beauty lit with filters. We know from studies that this is something that a lot of people struggle with.
"At my clinic, we only focus on natural-looking results and what suits your face, not following trends or trying to recreate Angelina’s cheekbones or Kylie’s lips, because they may not suit that individual’s face. I love the fact Kylie is following this ‘reveal’ trend, because regardless of aesthetics work or no work, she looks naturally beautiful and authentically herself."
