Kim Kardashian has sparked fresh online discussion after a behind-the-scenes beauty video showed a makeup artist working on her underarm area. The short clip, shared on X on 2 November, caught the attention of viewers who were surprised to see that the beauty work appeared to go beyond her face.
The 45-year-old reality star was wearing a strapless leopard-print outfit while getting ready, with her hair pulled back and her makeup already in place. However, it was the artist applying a product near her underarm that became the main talking point, leading some viewers to question how far her beauty routine goes.
A Close Look At Kim's Underarms
The video was shared by an X user named @knddall, who posted the clip with the caption, 'can we talk about how lucky lewis is? just look at her'. The four-second footage showed Kardashian sitting in a makeup chair as a woman carefully worked on the area beneath her arm.

Kardashian appeared relaxed as the artist continued preparing her look, while another person held a leopard-print piece of clothing behind her. Her strapless outfit left her shoulders and underarms exposed, making the beauty work easy for viewers to notice.
Although the clip does not identify the product being used, the artist appeared to be applying makeup or a body product to Kardashian's skin. The moment quickly became a subject of online discussion.
Fans Question the Routine
One social media user reacted with surprise, asking, 'Even her armpits are made up?' The commenter also said they would never reach that level of focus on looking perfect and warned against showing the clip to young girls who copy Kardashian's beauty habits.
The reaction brought attention to the amount of work that can go into creating a polished celebrity look. While makeup on the face is common, seeing a beauty artist work on an area that is usually left alone by many people appeared to surprise some viewers.
Others focused on Kardashian's appearance and her relationship with Lewis Hamilton, with the original post drawing attention to how attractive she looked. The comment about Hamilton also added another layer to the discussion, as the pair have become more open about their relationship in recent months.
The Kardashian Beauty Standards
This is not the first time Kardashian's beauty routine has drawn attention for including more than regular face makeup. In 2016, behind-the-scenes pictures from her preparation for the MTV Video Music Awards showed her longtime makeup artist applying body makeup to her inner thighs.
The photos offered a look at the work that can go into preparing for a major public appearance, including areas that are not always visible in the finished outfit. Her makeup artist also explained that body makeup was part of the process for that particular look, giving fans a glimpse of what happens before a red-carpet event.
Kardashian has built a major part of her career around beauty, fashion, and her own product brands, making her appearance a regular subject of online conversation. Still, the reactions to the latest footage show how even a few seconds of a makeup session can start a wider discussion about beauty standards and the pressure to look perfect.
