Kylie Jenner likely expected praise when she shared a behind-the-scenes look at her Golden Globes beauty prep—but the internet had other plans.
Instead of admiration, the 28-year-old found herself at the center of a wave of sarcastic commentary, with viewers mocking her skincare technique and linking it to long-standing speculation about cosmetic procedures, including Botox.
Jenner attended the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, January 11, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, showing her support for boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
Ahead of the ceremony—hosted by Nikki Glaser for the second year in a row—Kylie posted a nearly two-minute TikTok documenting her intense glam routine. The video quickly went viral, amassing millions of views, more than 2.7 million likes, and thousands of comments.
The standout moment? A dramatic face-first plunge into a bowl of ice water—complete with a breathing tube. The beauty hack, meant to depuff the skin and tighten pores, showed Jenner hesitating, adjusting the tube, and joking, “Let me practice breathing,” before finally dunking her face.
Her longtime makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, could be heard cheering her on as she submerged her face multiple times. After one longer dunk, the camera briefly cut to a cat lounging on the counter, adding an unintentionally comic touch.
While the clip was intended to be playful, the reaction was anything but kind. Social media users quickly filled the comments with jabs about her appearance, with some sarcastically calling her “naturally beautiful” and others openly speculating about fillers, facelifts, and Botox—prompting one viral remark: “The Botox gets hard.”

Despite the online chatter, Jenner appeared unfazed. She stunned at the event in a custom gold Ashi Studio couture gown paired with over 100 carats of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. Though she skipped the red carpet, she was seen inside cheering for Chalamet, who went on to win Best Actor.
As usual, Kylie’s beauty routine didn’t just turn heads—it set the internet on fire.
