L'Oreal Defends Beyonce Ad

L’Oreal Cosmetics have denied using technology to lighten Beyonce’s skin in the new ad campaign she’s in. In the ad, running in September’s Elle, her already fair skin looks even lighter which has promoted complaints by readers and an investigation by Elle’s publisher. The company’s spokesperson however refutes the claims saying, "We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L'Oreal Paris altered Ms. Knowles' features or skin tone in the campaign." Source
I mean, Bey is redbone but she looks extra pale in this pic. Let’s do a comparative side by side shall we? Yea, she definitely looks lighter but I can’t say for sure that it wasn’t make up (she likes that ghost color), lighting, or an unintentional photo shoping incident. But I’m sure L’Oreal’s Advertising Dept. will be minding their p’s and q’s for now.
