Kim Kardashian turned heads with another dramatic red carpet look, but it wasn’t necessarily her outfit that had fans talking.

The reality star stepped out for a high-profile event with a noticeably darker makeup look, prompting some social media users to question the glam choice and say it made her look almost unrecognizable. While Kim is no stranger to experimenting with her appearance, some fans weren’t quite as enthusiastic about this particular beauty look. Read more about her look for the gala and how fans reacted below.

Fans Critique Kim's Smokey Eye Makeup On Social Media

While the mom-of-four has experimented with plenty of different makeup styles over the years, some fans weren't loving the particularly dark eye makeup she wore for the gala. After photos from the event went viral online, users commented that they felt her smokey eye was too harsh for her features.

 

"She is beautiful, but I prefer her 'clean makeup look,'" wrote a fan on X.

 

"She looks so different," added another.

 

One user responded, "The makeup is too harsh on her new surgically enhanced eyes."

 

"It might've looked better on her original face, but she looks like a witch," they continued.

 

"This makeup aged her a lot," echoed a user. "Even if she was going for a dark eye look, it could've been done in a better way. Having the whole eyelid full black doesn't make sense."

 

"This barely looks like her," added another.
