Kardashian sisters blame father for makeup addiction
We've seen Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian in person several times, and we're always astounded at the insane amounts of makeup they wear. In photos their faces look flawless, but up close it's a LOT. Now in an interview with Jane Pratt for Jane Radio and xoJane.com, the famous sisters have admitted their makeup addiction started early in their teens, courtesy of their father, Robert Kardashian.

"My dad—when we were 14—got us makeup lessons for Christmas and had us videotape them and had a real-life person do our makeup and teach us how to wear makeup," Kim said on air. "He said, 'My daughters are going to start to wear makeup, and I want you guys to look at least presentable.' Which I thought was really cool. Um, and we’ve turned out to be the biggest trannies because of it."
So that's where the addiction started! Makeup lessons as young teens. Are we the only ones who find it strange that their father decided they should start wearing makeup? Don't most dads want their girls to grow up as slowly as possible? At least they learned the proper way to apply it, though Kim admitted she usually has her makeup done for her. Also, what's up with Kim comparing her and her sisters to "trannies"? Is that supposed to be a diss to transvestites, a diss to themselves, or what?

"We joke and we say we are like trannies because we love hair and makeup," said Khloe. "I don’t think we necessarily need it, but we love it." But Khloe admitted they may go overboard with their cosmetics applications. "At first we had like publicists and people who would tell us, 'Girls, tone it down, stop wearing all the makeup.' But then we would read on our blogs—like in the comments and everything—and everyone was like, 'What lipstick is this, what mascara do you use?' We were like, 'We love makeup—so why try and be what we are not?'"
Kourtney is bummed she told everyone her favorite lipstick and now she can't buy any for herself. "The orange-y red color that I always wear is YSL, and it’s so crazy now because I always say what it is. When I go to buy it, it's always sold out! Just that color, they have every other shade. I’m like, 'Can you like send me some free lipstick, because I’m selling you out.' And they are like, 'Oh sorry, we are sold out we can't get you any unless you buy thirty,' and I’m like 'who in their lifetime?'"

As for Kim, she's trying to streamline her routine. "I just use such a simple skin regimen. Like, it's just literally cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. But I do use lots of moisturizer at night—I think that’s the key. And I always use a makeup wipe to wipe off all my makeup."
