Kendall Jenner had to keep her big Estée Lauder contract a secret from the world for a few months, but there was one person she had to confide in: her mom Kris Jenner, who (of course) was thrilled.
“My mom was the only person I told,” Kendall tells fellow Estée spokesmodel Joan Smalls in a new interview for the cosmetics label’s blog. “She was crying, but then she cries at everything.”

The 19-year-old model also opened up about how her sisters’ skill with makeup influenced her own routine growing up. “Randomly enough, my older sisters went to a makeup school when they were younger, so they’re all really good at it,” she says. “They’ve always told me that ‘natural is better.’”

As for celebrity inspiration, she calls Angelina Jolie “ridiculously beautiful,” and looks to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Rihanna for style cues.
When it comes to her mani MO, you won’t see Kendall walking around with super-long pointy tips like her sisters Khloé and Kylie. She tends to be more classic.
“I like to keep it really neutral with nudes and grays,” she says. “But if I’m going on vacation, I like color. My favorite polishes are royal blue or red.”
One thing she does have in common with her sisters: a love for selfies. Kendall’s Instagram is like a master class in pretty photos. What are her tips?
“Lighting is a big thing. If you’re not in the right light it just won’t work,” she explains. “I’m not into using too many filters, either. I like to keep it pretty natural or black and white is always cool. But above all, you have to know your face: everybody has their good side. And practice! Practice makes perfect.”
