Kylie Jenner delays launch of holiday makeup line as fans slam her family for ‘tone deaf’ posts after Astroworld tragedy
KYLIE Jenner has delayed the launch of her Christmas makeup line as fans continue to slam her family for "tone deaf" social media posts after the Astroworld tragedy.
The beauty mogul has dropped her festive collection with Kylie Cosmetics on November 19 for the past four years in a row, with a promo in the days leading up to the release.
But fans have been left waiting this year as there is still no sign of the 2021 palette and lip kits amid her baby daddy Travis Scott's festival scandal.
As reported, ten people died and more than a hundred were injured at his concert in Houston, Texas on November 5 after the crowd surged toward the stage - and fans are seeking BILLIONS of dollars in damages.
Kylie has remained mostly silent on social media since the tragedy, with her business only sharing a repost for the first time on Monday showing her regular lip kits, despite upcoming Black Friday and the festive season.
Fans have taken to Twitter to speculate over the new drop, with one posting: "Kylie Jenner Christmas collection was set to drop today due to Travis scott she can't make any moves. Kylie cosmetics is suffering. If she drops this makeup line….. not a good look."
A second shared they feel Kylie should focus on sending money to the victims of Astroworld, tweeting: "No one is going to buy your Christmas collection, don't promote it. U have enough money, humble yourself, help those families that had a member die."
A third asked: "When will we see the Christmas collection for this year?"

While another backed Kylie's business, tweeting: "I feel like she should still drop it just silently."
The Kylie Cosmetics website is yet to show any holiday collection, and there has been no update for fans through her mailing list, The Sun can confirm.
Every November Kylie Cosmetics drops a new festive line, and she went all out in 2020 for her Grinch launch, while previous years have included Baby It's Cold Outside and the Santa Claus Collection.
The Sun has contacted Kylie's rep for comment.
The 24-year-old was previously blasted for breaking her weeks-long silence after Astroworld to promote her fashion brand with sister Kendall.
The clothing line Kendall + Kylie posted a video of the KUWTK stars modeling designs from the new range to celebrate their store opening in the United Arab Emirates.
Kylie - who is pregnant with her second child - and Kendall, 26, smoldered in a series of sports-luxe outfits, pouting at the camera in the promotional video.
The clip also shared glimpses of the line's new store, which was filled with the siblings' designs.
HIDING OUT IN LA
The Kendall + Kylie Instagram account posted the video last Wednesday, along with the caption: "We are so excited to announce that you can now shop #kendallandkylie styles in the UAE @kendallandkylie.ae #thedubaimall#thegalleriauae."
One disgusted fan wrote on Twitter: "10 beautiful humans died at Astroworld including a nine-year-old boy. Ezra [Blount].
"Show some f**king respect for those that died and stop flogging your s**t on IG when the bodies aren’t even cold."
Another shared: "Girl bye. So disrespectful to be marketing your clothes at a time like this."
The Sun also revealed last week Kylie and her three-year-old daughter Stormi have been hiding out with family in LA away from her $36.5million mansion amid death threats over the tragedy - after returning from Houston.
The star, who owns a number of properties, bought her expansive main compound in Holmby Hills back in April 2020, which boasts seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.

An insider said: "Kylie wants to keep her and Stormi out of the spotlight at the minute and is completely avoiding her main compound, she's mostly been staying with family.
"It's a really difficult time for her, especially being pregnant, and she just wants time to process what happened at Astroworld and privately support Travis who is extremely upset."
The pregnant star left Houston on a separate plane to her multi-million white and pink jet, and left under the cover of darkness with her young daughter, who she shares with Travis Scott.
DEATH THREATS
A source told The Sun: "Kylie and her team waited until it was late and left the house in blacked out cars heading for the airport, they didn't want anyone to see them."
Kylie previously posted a statement on her Instagram Stories to honor the victims, stating: "Travis and I are broken and devastated. My thoughts and prayers are with all who lost their lives, were injured or affected in any way by yesterday’s events. And also for Travis who I know cares deeply for his fans and the Houston community."
Stormi was in the VIP box alongside her mom Kylie at the festival, previously reported, with photographs showing her wearing headphones and enjoying herself with Kylie and aunt Kendall Jenner.

The stars were later seen being rushed out of the area after the fatal crowd surge, but sources told The Sun they had no idea of the fatalities until much later in the evening.
She announced she was pregnant with her second child with on/off boyfriend Scott on September 7 to her 280 million Instagram followers, but is yet to reveal the sex of the baby or her due date.
