Kris Jenner: criticism is raining down for the retouched photos

Kris Jennerthe momager of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, has 67 years old, carried very well. Thanks to her lifestyle, lucky genetics helped by some periodic touch-ups or latest generation facial treatments but… also for her extremely optimistic and bright spirit which rejuvenates her, as well as making her the backbone of the family, both humanly and when it’s about business.

Nevertheless Kris Jenner, as well as most of her girlfriends, has this toxic tendency towards excessive post-production of their photographs which then, published on social media, where they boast millions and millions of followers, do nothing other than fuel insecurities and dictate standards of perfection that are unattainable in reality.

Themselves, in an episode of their series The Kardashians, they had undertaken a discussion on their media power, making a mea culpa on the retouched images but then, many of them, it is clear that they continue to push their hand upwards Photoshop, FaceApp and all those “diabolical” tools.

Now mother Kris is in the crosshairs of criticism. She underwent a make-up session with professional make-up artist Samer Khouzami who posted the result of his work on Instagram, making many users turn up their noses. There is no miracle foundation or brush that holds: the shots and even the video were edited with filters.

The skin is very smooth, the wrinkles of age and expression lines have vanished and the eyes are very white and bright. Kris not only magically became 20 years younger but she was transformed into a wax doll.

Promptly, the comments under the posts do not take long to arrive: there are those who suggest she embrace her age, those who even thought it was a video made with artificial intelligence and those who underline the evident presence of filters.

Yet, despite the overwhelming evidence, we don’t feel like pointing the finger at her, let alone her daughters. They feel the pressure of having to be perfect in an industry that always wants them to be young, beautiful and trendy. The only ironic thing is the frantic attempt to keep up with an unhealthy system that they themselves have cleared and fueled and which is now coming back to take its toll.
