The brand captioned the photo, 'Kylie Cosmetics is here for Pull Up for Change, for our team, and for the black community. We are proud of the diversity within our company, with a team of Black, White, Asian, Native American, Hispanic and Middle Eastern women. As our team grows we commit to a continued focus on ethnic diversity in the workplace and the recruitment of black employees. The numbers you see above represent the people at our Kylie Cosmetics/Kylie Skin HQ. Our leadership team is made up of two people, @Kyliejenner and @KrisJenner.’ they ended the post by thanking people, ‘Thank you @pullupforchange and @heysharonc @uomabeauty for bringing an important issue to the forefront of the conversation in our industry.'


Fans were quick to respond to the post. While the company was true about their numbers and used it as a way to strike conversation, fans and other followers of the cosmetic brand made sure their opinions were read. 

The brand was also quick to reply to quite a few positive responses.

For the unversed, this move was sparked through the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests in America where they are fighting against police violence and racism.
