Hey, isn't it interesting that you can have access to the best cosmetics that money can buy, even sell your own beauty products, and still rely on image editing tools? Beauty standards, man! Anyway, totally unrelated — Kim Kardashian was accused of a Photoshop fail this weekend.

According to multiple screen recordings, Kim uploaded this selfie to her Instagram to celebrate model Fai Khadra's birthday:

However, she then uploaded another selfie which appeared to have been edited from the original:

The change is subtle, but Kim's jaw and cheeks seem to have been edited to appear smaller, temporarily making her Instagram an apparent before-and-after:

Of course, this isn't the first time Kim has been accused of tweaking her image — hell, even the show The Kardashians reportedly uses extensive filtering. Who knows what Kim looks like? Who knows what I, a sentient little gremlin typing this in their kitchen, look like?

In short, please do not be hard on yourself for not looking like Instagram.
