15 Of Kylie Jenner's Most Notorious Photoshopped Pics
Kylie Jenner may be the youngest member of the Kardashian/Jenner family, but she's well her way to becoming one of the most famous siblings of the whole bunch. Kylie's recent rise to fame is thanks to appearing on a top-rated reality show, her massive social media following, and our growing obsession with everything from her lips to her relationship with a rapper. Kylie is undoubtedly a star, but living life in the spotlight is definitely not as glamorous as it might seem. Kylie is under constant scrutiny to be perfect 24/7, and as a young lady in Hollywood, it's easy to crack under the pressure. Kylie has openly stated that she has insecurities about her body (as pretty much everyone else does). Just because she's a celeb doesn't mean that she's not just like the rest of us. Because she has millions of fans to impress, it's totally not surprising that Kylie turns to Photoshop to improve her look and modify imperfections. There have been a number of occasions where Kylie's love of image-editing software has been abundantly clear (and openly criticized). Here are 15 of Kylie Jenner's most notoriously Photoshopped pics.
15 Pixelated
There's no doubt that Kylie Jenner is the reigning queen of Instagram and Snapchat, but even queens make some mistakes every once in a while. Back in 2014, Kylie took to Insta to share a mirror-selfie showing off her famous bikini body. At first glance, everything appeared to be fine about the star's photo… but upon further inspection, it becomes super clear that some sub-par editing had been done on Kylie's bod. Her inner thighs, hips, and part of her outer leg all look very pixelated as if some digital slimming-down had been done prior to being uploaded and viewed by millions of Kylie's followers. Fans were quick to call out Kylie on her choppy Photoshop job, and the reality star responded by deleting the suspicious looking photo and replacing it with a much better (and less controversial) version. Though Kylie removed the original snapshot, the damage had already been done. Side-by-side comparisons of the two photos were being shared all over the internet, and people had a lot to say about Kylie's Photoshop-fail. Many assumed that Kylie accidentally added the wrong version of the altered image to social media, but it was obvious to everyone that she was trying to make herself look better with the help of Photoshop. Fans and followers are usually less than forgiving when it comes to celebs digitally modifying their image… and this time Kylie was totally caught red-handed.
14 Neon Lights
Let's face it, everyone knows that the Kardashian/Jenners live by the motto “all publicity is good publicity.” But even Kylie probably wasn't expecting the amount of backlash she got after posting a series of out-of-this-world shots from a photoshoot she did early last year. The teen star radiated as she showed off her multicolored hair and famous facial features while lending her best model poses to the shoot. While she accomplished rocking a unique look, it's clear to see that the photos were heavily Photoshopped. Pretty much everything about the photos appeared to be altered, from her eye color right down to her skin - which was super airbrushed to give her a glittery glow. Though it seemed like Kylie was trying to be super innovative, she sparked controversy when fans accused the star of darkening her skin tone with makeup and photo-editing software. Kylie received a lot of heat from disheartened fans who labeled her images as offensive, and she was quick to respond to the negative press. Kylie defended herself on Instagram by telling her haters, “Yes, in another world I wish I could have pink hair & blue eyes & covered in sparkles. This is a black light and neon lights people, let's all calm down.” While colored lights may have been a large part of this photoshoot, there's little disputing the simple fact that Photoshop was totally used in a big way.
13 PhotoShop Till You Drop
Sometimes it's hard to tell when celebs use Photoshop to revamp their image, and other times, it's so obvious it hurts. Kylie Jenner frequently posts sultry snapshots of herself to social media and she gets tons of attention for it, and very few Photoshop fails can sneak by her eagle-eyed fans. That's exactly what happened when Kylie snapped a mirror selfie while posing backstage at an event. The high-profile star can be seen casually sitting and showing off her legs, but her physique wasn't the only thing that caught viewer's attention. The shelving in the background of Kylie's photo appears to bend and slouch where it normally shouldn't, which is typically a tell-tale sign that Photoshop has been used. Some have suggested that Kylie's backdrop looks askew because she used the software to minimize her waistline, which resulted in other aspects of the photo to look distorted. Regardless of what exactly it was that Kylie may have had digitally altered in this picture, this shot has gone on to become one of the star's most notoriously Photoshopped pics.
12 Makeup Maven
Kylie Jenner has created a super lucrative career just by looking glamorous, so it's no surprise that she wants to look her best at all times. Big companies pay her even bigger bucks whenever she endorses their products on social media. So of course, she has to maintain her image as an A-list celebrity at all costs. Jenner's recent venture into the makeup industry has done positive things for her brand, and millions of fans across the globe would kill to look like Kylie. While the youngest member of the Jenner family often shares photos of herself going full-glam, it's rather easy to see when she uses Photoshop to amp up her image even further. In this particular headshot of Kylie, she can be seen gazing into the camera while showing off her gorgeously made-up face. Sure, she looks great, but it's plain to see that Photoshop has been used here. For starters, her face has been smoothed out and given a soft glow for a more radiant feel. Any possible imperfections such as minor blemishes have been completely erased, giving the impression of flawless skin. Additionally, Kylie's most prominent features such as her eyes and lips have been more defined with the help of various Photoshop tools. Of course, Kylie is always looking her best, but don't be fooled, image filters and Photoshop are two of her best friends.
11 Keeping Up With Kylie
Both Kendall and Kylie Jenner are hot commodities when it comes to super-marketable celebrities. The sisters are incredibly famous and are at the peak of their careers; so of course, many companies choose them as the face of their brand. Last year, Kendall and Kylie posed together to promote the release of their 2015 PacSun Holiday Collection, but pictures from the photoshoot showed signs of obvious Photoshop. In this particular picture of the girls, Kylie's side profile can be seen in the forefront, overlapping Kendall who is facing forward. The concept makes for an interesting shot, but there's little room to deny that the image had been altered prior to its release. First off, Kendall and Kylie have been airbrushed to perfection. On top of that, it looks like somebody literally copy and pasted a picture of Kylie on top of a picture of Kendall. Lastly, the area below Kylie's jaw line has been visibly smoothed out during the editing process. What can we say - Kylie is a notorious fan of Photoshop.
9 Bellami Hair Revamp
Kylie made serious waves when she teamed up with Bellami Hair to release her own line of extensions called Kylie Kouture. Of course, to promote her new business venture she posed for a stunning photo shoot that showed off her luxurious locks. While Kylie looks fabulous as ever in the promotional images, anyone would be able to tell that Photoshop was totally used on the reality star. We all know that the magic of makeup can do wonders, but the power of Photoshop appears to trump all else when it comes to this particular shot. Kylie's face looks so airbrushed and edited that she almost gives off a cartoon-esque appearance - and we don't think that was quite the look she was going for. Components of her makeup have been digitally added in and over-blended, and if you look super close at her jaw line you can see where photo editors were working overtime trying to sculpt the perfect face by enlisting the help of Photoshop. While airbrushing and adjusting images is super common when it comes to promotional material, we think the editors went just a tad too far this time around.
8 Paper Mag
Seriously, who could forget when Kim Kardashian "broke the internet" by posing for the cover of Paper magazine in 2014? We sure couldn't. The salacious star bared all and paid homage to her attention-grabbing booty, causing jaws to drop all across the globe. Naturally, it was only a matter of time Kylie followed in her big sister's footsteps by collaborating with the same publication for another awe-inspiring photoshoot. Jenner and Paper mag joined forces earlier this year and delivered some interesting images of the trendy star. Kylie's cover shot featured her donning a plastic bubblegum pink wig, satin gloves, and big, over-the-top pink lips. Trust us, it only takes one quick glance to figure out the obvious: Kylie looked totally fake and Photoshopped beyond recognition. While some praised the boldly innovative magazine spread, others questioned why Kylie would want to look so synthetic. Almost every aspect of Kylie's cover shot has been digitally manipulated, and fans definitely took notice. One fan commented “I would've liked Kylie's paper mag cover if they didn't edit her eyes and lips” while many others mirrored similar sentiments. Kylie responded on Instagram by confirming the use of Photoshop, saying “yes my eyes and lips are edited to look bigger.” It was later revealed that the concept of the photoshoot was to “blur the lines between real and fake,” and Kylie has certainly accomplished that goal!
7 Interview Mag
We have all witnessed proof that Kylie Jenner is no stranger to taking controversial photos, and that was only made even more obvious when she did a spread for Interview magazine late last year. Jenner modeled a wide range of latex attire while awkwardly posing in uncomfortable positions. The shoot was certainly scandalous, to say the least, but it did garner tons of attention for the young star. Aside from a number of odd props and daring fashion choices, Kylie was called out for her blatant use of Photoshop for the series of photos. The airbrushing tool was heavily used throughout the course of the editing process, smoothing out both Kylie's face and body. Some fans have even suggested that Kylie had been made to appear slimmer in specific areas, such as her arms and legs. We totally get that Kylie was supposed to look a certain way for these pictures, but its super clear to see that very little about this photo shoot was untouched by Photoshop.
6 Painted Lady
If we're being honest, there's really no denying that Kylie Jenner has a sensational figure, and she's got super killer curves that would leave almost anyone green with envy. Kylie recently put her fabulous frame on full display when she shared a snapshot to Instagram… wearing nothing but blue body paint. The knockout star looked ravishing in the shoot taken for an "unreleased project" but many of her followers wondered if the photo had been digitally altered. Some suggested that Photoshop played a large role in the revealing picture, mainly because her body and paint just looked so perfect. It is easy to see that certain edges have been smoothed out and various assets have likely been accentuated. Additionally, the entire image has been airbrushed to give the shot a more flawless feel. Regardless of what exactly has been done to enhance this photo of Kylie, we have to admit, she looks pretty darn good if you ask us.
5 Swimsuit Showdown
Kendall and Kylie Jenner recently teamed up to release their very own swimwear collection available through Topshop. Both sisters showed off their best bikini bods while posing for the promotional ocean-side photo shoot. As always, Kylie Jenner got herself a whole lot of attention for putting her ample assets on display. The star looked stunning in her black and yellow two-piece, yet some fans still questioned whether Kylie's beauty was all-natural or if she got a little digital makeover with the help of Photoshop. Kylie's body looks about as perfect as humanly possible, but some accused her of turning to Photoshop to fine-tune a few areas including her midsection. While it's almost impossible to conclude whether or not Kylie's picture was spruced up, the odds are pretty high. Since the photo was taken for advertisement purposes, there is always a very strong chance that it was edited prior to being seen by the public. It's super likely that airbrushing and smoothing techniques had been applied to the sultry snap, but Kylie does appear to have a visible scar on her leg, which is usually a clear indication that the photo wasn't too heavily edited.
4 Spanx
The Kardashians have definitely become famous for having larger than life butts, and it seems like Kylie Jenner wants to carry on the family business. The queen of Snapchat took to her favorite app to share a revealing mirror selfie that flaunted her small waist and sizable backside. She attributed her newfound curves to wearing body-contouring shapewear, captioning the photo “These Spanx are bomb. From Target”. While many of Kylie's fans and followers immediately rushed out to purchase a pair of these miracle booty-boosting undergarments, others questioned just how honest the young star was being. Some fans suggested that Kylie was guilty of wearing butt pads to give her back-end more volume, while others flat out accused her of using Photoshop to achieve the look she desired. If you closely examine the photo, it's easy to notice areas where Photoshop could have been probable, such as to add definition to her rump and to slim out her waist. Though she should be proud of her famous physique, we might never know for sure whether Kylie should thank her personal trainer, Spanx, or photo-editing software for her glorious behind.
3 Slender Selfie
We all know that Kylie is a huge fan of taking selfies, but some of her personal snapshots get the star much more attention than others. Almost two years ago, the social media maven took to Instagram to share a personal picture she took while posing in front of a mirror in her bedroom. A scantily-clad Kylie donned only a black sports bra and matching barely-there short shorts, and some fans noticed that she looked a bit trimmer than usual. Kylie typically rocks a curvy frame, so, of course, it was surprising to see her looking rather thin. Many fans commented that they thought Photoshop was to blame for her skinny appearance, specifically noting that the space between her inner thighs was likely edited to make her thighs look slimmer. We have to agree that Kylie does appear quite petite in the photo, and image-altering software could be the reason behind her insta-trim down. There is also a very noticeable smudge on the right side of her rib cage which is likely an attempt to slenderize her frame, resulting in an obvious Photoshop fail.
2 Behind The Scenes
It's easy to assume that Kylie Jenner lives in the lap of luxury, but with fame comes constant scrutiny by the public and the media. It seems like Kylie can't ever catch a break, as fans and followers regularly accuse her of being fake and altering her images before sharing them on social media. Usually, when a celebrity is accused of Photoshopping their thighs, it's because they want them to appear smaller- but this time, Kylie was called out on Instagram for allegedly making her thighs appear thicker. Yup, people actually insinuated that the star used image-editing apps and software to make her thighs bigger than they actually are. The photo in question has over 50,000 comments on Insta, where some fans have argued back and forth over whether or not Kylie did, in fact, use Photoshop. Some followers even went as far as suggesting that Kylie wanted to have bigger thighs because her boyfriend, Tyga, appreciates a curvy figure on a woman. Kylie added further flame to the fire by captioning that she had “gained weight” before replacing it with a different caption. Though Kylie is usually a fan of Photoshop, we can't help but be super skeptical this time around.
1 Backside Blunder
Kylie is definitely known for posting risqué pictures of herself to social media, and when she shared these bikini shots in September of last year, she made tails wag and jaws hit the floor. Of course, Kylie knows how to rock a bikini, but a number of the reality star's followers pointed out that her body had clearly been Photoshopped. Most notably, many accused Kylie of showing special attention to her rear end when it came down to the photo-editing process, noting that her bum looked totally airbrushed. If you look carefully at her backside, you may notice that the various blending and airbrushing techniques have been used to create the illusion of a flawless derriere. Due to the wide speculation that Kylie had Photoshopped her way to perfection, a 'photo expert' recently weighed in, stating, “There are certain apps where you can smudge/blur skin. Because she used the app on her small iPhone screen she could not see how it would look on a bigger screen “. Fans further pointed fingers at Kylie for allegedly altering other images from that day, suggesting that she accentuated her “thigh gap” and minimized her waistline.
