While they are known for being some of the most beautiful women in the world, the Kardashians are no stranger to a good filter while posing on Instagram for their millions of followers.
Sisters Kim, 41, Kourtney, 43, and Khloe, 37, have their social media accounts brimming with perfected snaps which often have noticeable differences to the way they look in real life while out and about attending events where the ability to tweak their appearances is out of their hands.
It comes as the women made liberal use of filters as they shared a plethora of images from Kourtney’s recent lavish nuptials to Travis Barker in Portofino, Italy, on Sunday.
Here MailOnline takes a look back at some of the times the sisters have looked wildly different to their Instagram snaps in real life:
Khloe Kardashian
Last year Khloe hit headlines after an unedited bikini snap was accidentally released to the public, sparking a huge reaction over her excessive use of filters.
And it’s not the first time she has looked different in real life to on her social media.
Back in March 2022 the Good America owner attended a SKIMS pop-up shop launch in Miami wearing a cut-out sheer blue mini dress.

While she looked incredible strolling down the street to head to the event she looked much smoother and sported a more glowing complexion in the edited pictures she shared to her Instagram the morning after.
The Instagram snaps showed a perfectly bronzed tan and perfected glow as she posed up a storm in the flattering lighting.
Khloe also made heavy use of filters in the images she shared from the Hulu premiere of The Kardashians last month where she wore a corset-style gold shiny dress.

Perfect: In the snaps from the star-studded event on her social media (right) she had washed out her features with a strong filter that made her complexion visible free from any imperfections or wrinkles
In the snaps from the star-studded event on her social media she had washed out her features with a strong filter that made her complexion visible free from any imperfections or wrinkles.
The same heavy filter was used when she shared snaps from Jay-Z’s Oscar Party where she looked much more perfected in her Instagram images.
Also in March she was spotted out and about in a purple and black patterned dress and showed off a very filtered visage in Instagram images shared in the same outfit on the same day.

In 2016 Khloe confessed to airbrushing her images, telling People: ‘Of course I believe in airbrushing apps, I just think airbrushing apps, like who doesn’t want to airbrush a thing here or there.
‘I love FaceTune, that one’s great. I don’t really know of many more, but a filter, that’s like airbrushing. Who doesn’t love a good filter?
‘Sometimes you’re having a bad day,’ she said.

Khloe also admitted she likes filters to add a different hue to her images.
‘I don’t want to see everybody in color. I need a black and white filter sometimes.’
Khloe has come under fire in recent years for her changing face and body, with many accusing the KUWTK star of brazenly photoshopping her Instagram posts to an extent fans sometimes struggle to recognize her.
Kourtney Kardashian
She celebrated her wedding to husband Travis Barker in Portofino on Sunday and looked much smoother in the Instagram images she shared of the day, particularly in the black mini dress she wore the day before the nuptials.
But like her sister Khloe, mother-of-three Kourtney developed a taste for filters way before her wedding day, often appearing visibly altered on Instagram.
In April Kourtney stepped out for a double date with sister Kim and her beau Pete Davidson wearing a midriff-baring black dress but looked digitally enhanced in the social media version of the snaps.

The family have been sharing a slew of snaps from the wedding weekend, as part of their sponsorship deal with Dolce & Gabbana.

The difference: Kourtney appeared to have used a filter which smoothed out her black Dolce & Gabbana mini dress and enhanced her skin tone in snaps from her wedding weekend
As MailOnline exclusively revealed on Sunday, the showbiz wedding of the year has been sponsored by the luxury fashion house in a deal worth millions.
The worldwide coverage of the reality stars showcasing the brand’s clothes against the idyllic backdrop of the Italian Riviera is set to give millions of pounds worth of free publicity to Dolce & Gabbana which has been hit by controversies in recent years.
Dolce & Gabanna has been quick to capitalise on the reality stars giving their apparent backing to the brand by retweeting pictures of them in their outfits.

Kim Kardashian
Kim had made headlines for several photoshop fails over the years but is also a big fan of digitally enhancing her social media pictures.
Kim gave fans a rare unfiltered look at her pre-glam look on the sixth episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians last week, when she appeared on camera without makeup and dressed in a bathrobe.
The star was also recently forced to clear up months-long photoshop rumors about family Disneyland snaps.

‘Well… why don’t you head on over to skims.com to conceal that saggy belly button of yours with a great pair of high waisted underwear like I did! You’re welcome!!!
Accusing the star of editing the image, a fan previously wrote, ‘Where on earth is your belly button, yo??’
Another said: ‘Superbly edited picture [four laughing emojis],’ as well as, ‘Where is your bellybutton Kim?’
Kendall Jenner
Model Kendall, 26, is perhaps more subtle with her filters but isn’t a stranger to using them.
In snaps from her 818 tequila launch last year she sported a much smoother complexion in her Instagram images than in real life as she posed in a blue fluffy scarf.
She also used a heavy filter sharing pictures from this year’s Met Gala where she stunned in a black Prada dress.

Kylie Jenner
Kylie looked sensational in a red flowery Dolce and Gabbana dress with matching lipstick for the wedding but shared filtered images of the same outfit.
It was something that something that didn’t go unnoticed by her followers.
‘Remove the filters dear you’re not fooling anyone,’ tweeted on follower in reply to her snaps.
‘Stop editing your photos’ demanded another while another agreed: ‘Filters make us all perfect when we really aren’t. Sad.’
Strike a pose! Kylie also looked polished to perfection in photos posted to her account, which showed her posing in a rose-print bodycon dress

While the Kardashians are often accused of editing their own pictures to look in perfect shame, Kim turned the tables when she claimed that ‘awful’ pictures taken by the paparazzi during a trip to Mexico in April 2017 were ‘Photoshopped’ by the photographer to be unflattering.
Speaking after images emerged of the reality star frolicking in a thong bikini, the mother-of-four admitted she wasn’t in her ‘best shape’ and hadn’t worked out for 12 weeks when the pictures were taken.
Yet despite stating that she had been altering her own snaps, the 40-year-old socialite insisted during an appearance on The View that the paparazzi were to blame for ‘sharpening’ and ‘Photoshopping’ the pictures to make her look ‘way worse’ than she really did.

Despite fans chalking the mistake down to an editing fail, several followers became convinced the star did indeed have a sixth toe, prompting her to share a video of her feet in September 2020 to clear the air once and for all taping her foot and counting out each toe.
