On Friday, Kim shared an up close shot of herself looking over her shoulder from 2007. In the caption, she joked, “2007 Before I knew what hair extensions and fake lashes were.”

Kim has never really shied away from reflecting on past beauty mishaps. A few months ago she also shared a shot of her at 17 where her green eyeshadow matched her her green dress.

17 years old here (1997) with my friend @sarahrhoward You can hardly see here but I’m wearing green eyeshadow to match my dress and hair clips(that I made). She was the one who got me into colored eyeshadow and would bring me samples from her dads make up line called Make Up Forever!

"In the early 2000s, I would do a lot of bright colors, especially turquoise," she wrote in a post on her app. "I wore a turquoise top and turquoise eye makeup — and even turquoise flower hair clips!"
