Though the news was enthusiastically received by many fans, it didn’t go down well with some.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has been accused of using ‘blackface’ in her new campaign.

Some have accused the star of darkening her skin tone in the photo which was initially deleted, then re-uploaded.

“Black women get told to lighten meanwhile Kim spends her entire career in perpetual blackface and is lauded for her beauty,” one Twitter user wrote.

“You don’t have to do blackface,” said another.

The backlash was swift, with countless Twitter users calling out Kim for the photo:
