Kyle Richards is a busy woman these days. Not only is she in the middle of filming the new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but also recently separated from her longtime husband, Mauricio Umansky. However, the reality star recently posed for photos for an ad campaign with her daughter, but the fan reaction from social media was not what she nor the company she was endorsing expected as she was called out for airbrushing her photos in order to look younger.
The ad campaign was for Peter Thomas Roth, which is a line of skincare and makeup products.
In the ad, fans can see Kyle, 55, and her daughter Alexia Umansky posing for a series of photos intended to show off the effects of the product. Of course, Alexia has been seen on both RHOBH and Buying Beverly Hills, so she’s no stranger to the public eye or to the sometimes negative comments that can come from fame.
Regarding the ad, Kyle posted the series of pictures to Instagram with the caption, “Water Drench Cream by @PeterThomasRothOfficialworks like a dream under makeup and always keeps my skin silky smooth and hydrated. @AlexiaUmansky and I are both obsessed! Check it out @Sephora.“
While many of the comments on the post were compliments, quite a few were negative. The aspect of the ad most people took issue with is that some of the photos look unnatural. Additionally, some people point out the alleged work Kyle has done to her face.
One person in the comments had this to say, “Yikes Kyle wayyy too much airbrush– can we normalize aging beauty without filtering it?” Someone else kept it simple and just said, “Doesn’t look natural.”
Another fan felt the ad itself was a bit awkward.
“The ads were super cringe 😂”
Someone else questioned Kyle’s integrity by asking, “Do you actually use these products or are you just promoting them? Just curious?”
Someone else said, “She has the joker smile.”
Luckily, some people found the ad endearing, and many loved that Kyle incorporated her iconic splits. In fact, at least one person claims to have bought the product because of Kyle.
“@kylerichards18 I bought this because of your ad with your daughter.. it’s amazing 👏”
What did you think of Kyle’s new ad?
