Khloé Kardashian has been scrutinized for her overuse of Photoshop and other filters more than any other member of her famous family. (Although we think older sister Kim Kardashian does come a very close second, for not just Photoshopping her own face and body, but for superimposing other people into pictures, allegedly changing her boyfriend Pete Davidson’s appearance, and even changing backgrounds.) But we never realized just how much the filters altered Khloé’s appearance until we saw side by side comparisons of the same pictures – or pictures from the same day/event, for example – that show us her real face!
Instagram account @celebbeforeafter recently shared a carousel of before and after/ Instagram vs reality pictures of the 37-year-old Good American founder, and we were blown away by each and every one. We can’t believe the difference between Khloé’s real face and what she puts out on social media!

So what are the main differences between the pictures? As well as minor touch-ups that we are all guilty of doing, such as smoothing fine lines and removing dark circles under eyes, Khloé regularly seems to alter the shape of her face, making it smaller and thinner than it naturally appears. She also seems to make her pout even bigger (and that’s saying something because it’s already pretty voluminous thanks to years of alleged lip fillers!) and her eye color always seems to be visibly lighter yet more prominent and some might even say dazzling in the edited pictures.
Khloé’s lips in the reality pictures were a hot topic of conversation in the comments section. “Omg what did she do to her lips,” questioned one user, followed by the crying emoji. “Yikes…her lips,” commented another. “Oh no her lips,” another IG user wrote, to which another directly replied with, “Like a Bratz doll.” Another Insta user also showed some concern over Khloé’s lips, asking, “Is that stuff in her lips going to dissolve?” A few fans dutifully replied, with one saying, “I was just wondering because her lips definitely look misshapen,” and another adding, “Over time it forms scar tissue too.”
Khloé's lips weren’t the only things getting people talking in the comments section, as one person said, "Still better than Kylie's insta v/s reality," in reference to the 24-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder's before and after pictures which were recently shared on the same account. Many other users, who appear to be Khloé fans, said they felt sorry for the mom-of-one and her constant need to edit her pictures even after having so much alleged surgery. (As well as confirmed surgery, as she actually admitted to having a nose job in the past!) "She has so many things done on her face and she stills photoshop all her pics. Sad," one person noted, while another wrote, "So sad :( she has the best soul."
As some of the pictures were taken from Khloé's controversial Nurtec ODT ad, some people couldn’t help but talk about it in the comments section, with many also continuing to say that they felt "so sorry" for her. One user wrote: "She looks absolutely horrible in that migraine medication commercial, and I hate to be that critical, but it just doesn’t look right!! I feel so sorry for her that she can’t just leave herself alone." And another added: "She looks crazy in that commercial. So sad."
