Kylie Jenner responded to those followers accusing her of going blackface for a photo shoot on April 4.

Futuristic makeup or historically offensive? Kylie Jenner raised some eyebrows on Saturday, April 4, when she shared pictures of a new photo shoot on Instagram. 

In the shots, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, 17, sported heavy dark facial makeup and originally captioned the image, "What I wish I looked like all the time."
