Watch: Kylie Jenner Gets Emotional Over Criticism of Her Looks

Kylie Jenner is getting skin deep about her appearance.

In fact, the reality star got quite emotional while addressing criticism over her smile lines, as she lamented, "It's a miracle that I still have confidence, and I could still look in the mirror and think that I'm pretty."

"I went on a journey last year dissolving half my lip filler," she tearfully told her sister Kendall Jenner on the June 20 episode of The Kardashians, explaining how she now sees online comments about how "old" she looks without them. "Why do people think it's OK to talk about me? I've never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me."

Noting she's also seen remarks about how she "f--ked up her face," the 26-year-old continued, "Even if I did get so much surgery, I still don't think it's OK to talk about someone's looks."

"Before I even got lip filler, people talked about my looks," Kylie shared, wiping tears from her eyes. "It's so hurtful."

However, Kendall assured the Kylie Cosmetics founder that she's "never looked younger and never looked better."

"No matter how much we talk about it, everyone's going to think I've had a full facial reconstruction and so have you," the 28-year-old told her younger sister. "Sadly, it's something we just really have to grow a tough skin on."

And it was sentiment that Kylie eventually took to heart.

"I hear nasty things about myself all the time," she noted in a separate confessional. "After 10-plus years of hearing about it, it just gets exhausting."

While she does consider herself to be a "really strong person," the Life of Kylie alum said "there's only so much" she can take before reaching a breaking point.

"I was put into this position for a reason," Kylie added, sharing that she's chosen to "rise above" the hate. "I cannot let the comments get me down. I have s--t to do."
