KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN has been accused of altering her Instagram images following her appearance at the Academy Awards.

Fans of the KUWTK alum remarked her skin looked “strikingly different” in photos from the awards event and afterparty.

Kourtney, 42, looked lovely on the red carpet at the Oscars and the subsequent Vanity Fair party.

While her social media photographs depict her skin as flawless and airbrushed, her fine wrinkles and skin texture are more obvious in photos taken on Sunday.

Fans admired her natural complexion and described it as “depressing” that she feels compelled to retouch her Instagram photos.

One person wrote: “They can’t continue to airbrush a fictitious reality for much longer. She seems dramatically different in unedited images, and it’s extremely evident.”

“Honestly, I just find it disappointing that you may have everything in the world and yet feel the need to edit yourself,” said another.

A third person added: “This type of message is appropriate in my opinion. People have forgotten what reality looks like and are harsh on themselves in large part as a result of the prevalence of this type of photoshopping.”

Kim received similar criticism after images from the Vanity Fair gala revealed her genuine skin type.

Meanwhile, back in December, Kourtney was accused of having a brow lift and nose operation.
