Emma Roberts Had Kim Kardashian’s Lip Gloss ‘All Over My Face’ After AHS Kiss: ‘Had to Do a Major Cleanup’

Kissing Kim Kardashian wasn’t as glamorous as it sounded for Emma Roberts.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show on Wednesday, the actress, 33, gave Jimmy Fallon a look behind-the-scenes of the kiss she shared with Kardashian, 43, while filming American Horror Story.

The scene, which was teased in the first trailer for AHS: Delicate Part 2, was not as “intense” to film as it looked, Roberts said. In fact, it involved a lot of “cleanup.”

“You know, we do it, you forget about it, and seeing it, it looked so intense. But meanwhile, we were laughing, because we kissed and they said ‘Cut’ and Kim looked at me and started laughing and I was like, ‘What?’ and I just had her [lip] gloss all over my face,” she told Fallon. “And so we had to do major cleanup in between every take.”

Roberts then shouted out Kardashian’s “perfect, glossed lips,” before noting that the gloss truly went “everywhere” while they filmed. 

Following the release of the trailer at the end of March, Roberts’ younger sister, Grace, freaked out at her for not sharing the details of the kiss before. While it was “like another day at the office” for the actress, she said Grace, 23, did not have the same reaction.

“My sister was like, ‘No it’s not. You kissed Kim Kardashian and didn’t tell me.’ ”

AHS marks Kardashian’s biggest acting role to date and sees her star as Roberts’ character’s publicist, Siobhan, who will stop at nothing to push Anna (Roberts) to become a famous actress, regardless of her desire to become a mother. In the trailer for Part 2, Siobhan goes as far as to slap Anna across the face after she expresses doubt about her campaign for an Oscar. “I will not let you say another word about quitting,” she tells Anna.

Since Delicate premiered in September, both Kardashian and Roberts have gushed about their time working together. In January, the actress told Extra that the SKIMS founder was a total “pro” on set.

“She’s one of the most prepared people I’ve ever worked with and she’s just chill. I love her so much,” Roberts said of Kardashian. “She’s amazing.”

Ahead of shooting, Kardashian admitted she was taking action lessons to prepare for her role.

"It's a challenge. I like to challenge myself,” she told Variety at the 2023 Met Gala. “It's really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow."

The women also go way back, as Roberts revealed on Live with Kelly and Mark on Monday. 

"You know, it’s so funny. Kim and I both grew up in Calabasas, California, and when I was a teenager, I used to shop at her and [her] sisters’ store, Dash,” Roberts said, referring to the boutique Kim and her sisters Khloé and Kourtney founded in 2006. “They were all working there at the time, before the show and I would shop there and chat with them. So when we were on the show [now], I’m like, wow from Calabasas to here.”
