I definetly think something was done with her photo. I think she’s still beautiful, but to me it’s just not the same Beyonce. She looks better with a little bronze glow to her.
I just hope people don’t start bleaching their skin (like a lot were doing their hair) to look like her. ::The white skin/blonde hair look does not work for all women::

African American’s skin color changes depending on the amount of exposure to the sun. We do get suntans. Our skin color can change. Say Beyonce spent time on the beach for a couple of days,she can get darker without much effort. Whomever accused her sponsor of lightening her skin needs to find something else to do with there time.

I’m a black woman about Beyonce’s color and I was born with reddish/blonde hair. I color my hair now, sometimes it’s reddish/brown, sometimes it’s more blonde similar to Beyonce’s color in the controversial ad. I look at my pictures sometimes and when my hair is blonde my skin looks lighter. Sometimes in my photo I look darker. Someone who is as light as Beyonce will photograph differently. It’s hard to explain but that’s what happens to black women that color. I am a fan of Beyonce and I think she looks great. The critics need to back off of her she’s a young black woman who is truly doing her thing.

I think that it is probably just the lighting and the fact that her hair is lighter. Also like some people said above she could have done this before she got a tan. Not to mention Beyonce is actually a really light person. Most African American entertainers with light skin actually use make up like a bronzer to make them look more “black”, but without that make up on they’re actually rather pale. I’ve seen some pictures of Beyonce when she wasn’t wearing any makeup and she looks pale, so it also could just be that she didn’t use any bronzer makeup and went with a different makeup this time. Depending on the color of your hair, that also plays a role in what makeup choices and colors you use on your face. If your hair is blonde you wouldn’t use a purple tinted lipstick or blush and likewise if your hair is black maybe you shouldn’t use that Barbie colored pink on your face either.

It’s looks as if a lot more has been changed than just her skin coloring. Her lips, cheekbone structure and possibly a few facial injections here and there. Those are the perks of being a famous star. You can afford it. The “little people” who make it possible for the stars to afford these fringe benefits sit back and admire them wondering what they’ve done, while not being able to afford to do it themselves. What a great country we live in…AMERICA!

isn’t it a little ridiculous that people are offended by this? nobody cares if you use self-tanner or get an actual sun tan, so why should it matter if someone’s skin gets 2 shades lighter? i don’t think that l’oreal altered the pictures at all, because really bright lights completely wash out a person’s skin. and it is completely possible that the l’oreal pictures were taken in january or february, months in which is is somewhat difficult to get a tan in america.

While it looks lighter, it could be makeup, or that her hair is lighter, or the lighting, or what shes wearing. I often find that certain colors of clothing makes me look lighter or darker depending. Plus, people dont stay exactly the same color all the time.
I’m going to give them a maybe yes, maybe no.

Why is everyone making an issue of Beyonce’s skin color which seems to be the result of the photographers’ use of light. Why not make an issue over the fact that L’Oreal has hired a model to demonstrate hair products when Beyonce’s hair is not even real???? That is what is ludicrous in my opinion.

Not only the hair color but the clothes she is wearing and the lighting….Geez someone is always trying to pull a race card.

She already had plastic surgeries (nose, lips) to make herself look Caucasian, why is this an issue at all now?

I would chalk that up to creative lighting during the photoshoot or the photographer simply used a bad digital camera. Also, most photographers add a type of editing called a gaussian blur to photos to soften them (think professional headshot versus a snapshot), and that lightens a photo considerably in some cases. Besides, Beyonce embraces her ethnicity so well, that if L’Oreal did it without her approval, she’d be pitching a fit!
