Years before she became the Lip Kit mogul she is today Kylie Jenner was perfecting her natural pout and glamorous camera poses.
In these images unearthed by DailyMail.com the reality star is seen puckering up for selfies at home as well as pouting alongside her celebrity pals as far back as 2012 when she started using Instagram.
Spanning over the last six years, the now 20-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is barely recognizable before she embarked on her dramatic physical transformation.

Most notably, in pictures of the teen from 2012, the E! star is seen before she started getting lip injections as she poses for fun photos at home and at the beach.
She even shares a snap of her yearbook photo, asking her followers whether she should go back to light brown hair.
The daughter of Kris and Caitlyn Jenner uses her natural pout to full effect in fun photos from before she became the cosmetics powerhouse she is today.
In 2013 Kylie posed with supermodel Bella Hadid on a night out along with her then pal Sofia Richie, who now dates her sister Kourtney’s ex-boyfriend Scott Disick.

It was September 2017 when Kylie finally got candid about the incident that spurred her to get lips fillers.
On an edition of E!’s Life of Kylie, the mother-of-one said: ‘I was 15 and I was insecure about my lips … I [had] really small lips,’
‘It was like one of my first kisses and a guy was like, “I didn’t think you would be a good kisser because you have such small lips,”‘ she said, adding that she ‘took that really hard.’
She continued, ‘Just when a guy you like says that, I don’t know, it just really affected me – I just didn’t feel desirable or pretty.’

Kylie said that she ‘really wanted bigger lips’ and was compelled to try and use makeup to compensate for what she felt she was lacking in: ‘I would over-line my lips with lip liner just to create the illusion of bigger lips.’
But eventually she nixed that fix, opting to undergo cosmetic surgery to enhance her lips. She said, ‘Finally I was like, “This lip liner isn’t doing it,”‘ adding that she ‘ended up getting [her] lips done.’
The teenager started showing off noticeably plumper lips in 2014 when she was just 16. Amid media speculation Kylie originally denied getting injections, crediting carefully applied lip liner for accentuating her pout.
Come May 2015, however, the reality star came clean and admitted to getting fillers.

The following November Kylie launched her beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics, formerly known as Lip Kits by Kylie.
Kylie has always denied undergoing any other surgery on her face despite constant rumors surrounding the shape of her eyes, cheekbones and chin.
In 2016 the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star addressed the ongoing speculation on her website.
‘No I didn’t [have cheek surgery]. People started saying that when I was 16.’
‘You really think Kris Jenner would let a 16 year old me have cheek and jaw reconstructive surgery? No,’ she added.

At the time she credited her plumped-up lipss for changing the appearance of her facial features.
‘I always used to love my jaw. I was never self-conscious about my jaw, but before I got my lips done, my lips were very tiny and more like sunken into my chin.’
In the same blog Kylie also said she wasn’t considering breast implants or ‘ass implants’.
‘I’ve thought about it [boob job] and I think “Why ruin it?” I have really good boobs naturally. They’re like a cute little size. I’m not against it but right now, it’s a no from me. No ass implants, no ass implants.’
