Kim Kardashian West has recently launched body makeup and a range of shapewear named Kimono. These venture have admittedly been her dream projects since a couple years and Kim has always been obsessed.
While the stunner was enthusiastic about the launches, the review and feedback of the same are not very impressive. On the contrary, the products have received major criticism and the internet agrees.
First things first, the body foundation was slammed because of the 'unrealistic' beauty standards it sets for the public. While the audience received the bronzers an highlighters positively, the color-correcting body foundation was a bit too much to handle.
If that wasn't enough, the diva recently announced the launch of a shapewear range named Kimono. The name itself, received major flak from the eastern audience i.e. Japan and Asian countries. While Kim must've have used this word as a wordplay, but we're wondering how none of the people from stunner's team realised the kind of effect it would have, given the cultural opinion.
Here's how the internet reacted to all of this:
Now I’m sure the Japanese know how black people feel when we moan about cultural appropriation #KimOhNo #kimono #kimkardashian

#kimono #KimOhNo
Almost Japanese people wear lots kind of #kimono at coming-of-age day, college graduation, summer festival and when we want to wear. Can you see these pictures as underwear? #KimKardashian thinks this brand for 15years. Yeah we have we worn #kimono for 1225 yrs pic.twitter.com/jueRSxRrTg— (@ckrishtm) June 26, 2019
#KimKardashian has just trademarked the term #Kimono. What happens now if Mr and Mrs Ono want to name their daughter Kim? #KimOno

Or, are you intentionally taking a Japanese word of specific and extreme cultural significance, stripping away its meaning, and appropriating it for your brand? I do hope not, but intentional or otherwise, that will be the result. That’s why many Japanese are crying foul.

That’s so disgusting. I already don’t use her products, but now I’m going to for sure never use them. I hope people start boycotting her

Why the fuck do you need to put foundation on your entire body???? Stop injecting more insecurities into women. Fuck off https://t.co/0wcOX53N3t

Hey guys our bodies don’t need foundation. Your scars, stretch marks, and blemishes are all normal. Why are we trained to hate ourselves so much we have to buy full-body makeup I’m so annoyed https://t.co/OuWMr6D5eN

not to be problematic but like coming up with this stupid body foundation idea like people aren’t dealing with unrealistic standards and bad body image already just to make more money is ugly and takes advantage of insecure people

Hard pass. God damn the work to take it all off before bed so it doesn’t destroy your sheets... I’d rather just make peace with my million stretch marks and eczema. Taking off my mascara is enough of a pain in the arse. Save money and time and give yourself a damn break. https://t.co/gGrbiZfH2K
