The Kardashian family is no stranger to controversy, particularly when it comes to social media photos, and a new before and after slideshow that was just shared to Instagram by the account @celebbeforeafter revealed just how much Kylie Jenner alters her photos in comparison to her natural face. With several side by side images showing Jenner’s unedited face next to her Instagram pictures, it has become increasingly apparent that the famous family has not scaled back on their photo editing despite consistent backlash.

In screen grabs taken from Jenner’s own YouTube channel placed next to her social media images, the 23-year-old beauty mogul looks dramatically different, rocking a visibly different face shape, nose, and even cheekbones. Jenner has been open about getting lip fillers in the past, but the comparison between the two images show that there may be even more than what meets the eye.
While Jenner’s Instagram photos are obviously posed, in every image she shows off a dramatically trimmed down jaw line and thinner nose. Makeup can make a major difference on your appearance, but the images seem to go beyond just a well placed contour. Fans took to the comment section to sound off about Jenner’s altered look, with one writing, “Lol not even Kylie Jenner looks like Kylie Jenner.” Another commented, “This family can’t keep up with those beauty standards that they made themselves..”
There’s no question that Jenner is stunning with or without makeup or alterations, but it does perpetuate an unrealistic beauty standard by continuously posting heavily edited photos to social media. It’s unlikely that the famous sisters will cease to post such photos anytime soon, but it does help to have an awareness that with a team of professionals who can help to pose and edit her photos, Jenner’s Instagram reflects her lifestyle which is much different from the reality of most other people on social media.
