Kylie Jenner's fans are less than impressed with the star's lengthy makeup routine.

In a recent YouTube video alongside her makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, the beauty mogul revealed she's often on her cell phone during the 3.5 hours it takes to have her makeup done.

"I don’t give you my full attention sometimes," Jenner said to Tejada in the video.

When Tejada told viewers that the 23-year-old is usually preoccupied with her phone, Jenner said it was necessary to make it through the lengthy and often tedious application.

“I work on my phone all day. The only way I’m gonna get through three and a half hours of makeup with you is if I entertain myself a little," she said. "At the end I’m happy. Every second is worth it but he takes forever. He takes forever."

It didn't take long for fans to chime in and criticize the reality star for "misusing her time."

"So many better ways to spend your time. Go donate some of your riches instead," one Instagram user sounded off. "You live in a city alongside one of the largest homeless populations in the world, and you're a billionaire sitting at home — miles away from skid row — spending three and a half hours in front of a mirror doing your makeup."

"She could never hold down a real job" another said of the meticulous routine. "She’d have to wake up hours before the sun pops up. That’s just makeup. Imagine the hair."

Other wondered how it was possible to have such a lengthy routine, given most people can do their makeup for the day in much less time.

"I don't wear makeup, never have, but friends and family all wear makeup that looks great and they have it done in 20 minutes or less. What on earth could possibly take three hours?" one person asked. "I truly can't even s picture what takes that amount of time unless she's applying an entire prosthetic face to her whole head. Is that what she's doing?"

"This is so embarrassingly vain and a complete misuse of your time. How shallow do you have to be to prioritize getting your makeup done for three and a half hours a day? Lmao," wrote another.

Despite the criticism, there were fans who were all for Jenner being honest about how long it takes for her to get glam.

"I’d love to see a full glam start to finish three hours long no cuts," someone wrote. "Kylie really is our generations mainstream standard of beauty and it’d be incredible to get to see how her look is made start to finish. It really is an art."

Jenner's admission of her extensive beauty routine isn't the first time the star has been candid about her appearance. Back in 2019, however, she denied all claims of having plastic surgery.

“People think I fully went under the knife and completely reconstructed my face, which is completely false,” she told PAPER Magazine. “I’m terrified! I would never. They don’t understand what good hair and makeup and, like, fillers, can really do...It’s fillers. I’m not denying that.”
