Kylie Jenner is clapping back after being accused of bypassing "proper sanitation protocols" while in Milan, Italy, testing products for her beauty line, Kylie Cosmetics.
Kevin James Bennett, a cosmetic developer, took to Instagram on Thursday to publicly call out Jenner for not following protocols. The socialite originally uploaded several images of herself in a white coat, without gloves or a hair net on, mixing different make-up products.
"I'm a cosmetic developer and work with cosmetic manufacturers (and their labs) as part of my job," he wrote in his lengthy caption. "I have very short hair, and I've NEVER been allowed into the lab or onto the manufacturing floor without a hair net, shoe covers, mask...and disposable GLOVES."

He continued: "Kylie is gaslighting her followers into thinking she is creating cosmetics. And I'd like to know what ignorant manufacturer (in Italy) let her stage this photo-op in their lab and on the manufacturing floor - without following proper sanitation protocols. I need the name because I want to make sure my clients NEVER work with them."
