L’Oreal Denies Lightening Beyonce’s Skin

This is all so boring. Now L’Oreal put out a statement to Fox Racist News Network categorically denying they lightened up sister girl’s skin in their ad.

Why doesn’t L’Oreal release the original artwork so we can see if it was indeed altered by some mischievous third party. This is boring me anyway.

From Fox Racist News Network:

L’Oreal did not lighten Beyonce Knowles’ skin tone in a recent ad contrary to speculation, a rep for the company told FOXNews.com on Thursday.

“It is categorically untrue that L’Oréal Paris altered Ms. Knowles’ features or skin-tone in the campaign for Feria hair color,” the rep said in a statement.

“Beyonce Knowles has been a spokesperson for the L’Oréal Paris brand since 2001. We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles.”

The ad for L’Oreal Paris’s Feria hair color, which is featured in this month’s issue of Elle magazine, shows the “Crazy in Love” singer with windswept dark blond hair and what appears to be a paler complexion. (Source)

Thanks to loyal reader Mechelle for the tip!

Who F’kin care, the retarded Byiatch wanted to be born latina so I’m pretty sure, she wants to be a White Girl, as if she didnt see the final process of the pics!

Everyone knows that there are no mistakes made in marketing and advertising…everything is staged and placed purposely and for good reason. They know they did that schitt, they need to fess up.

They either slapped her azz with the whole makeup case, or she did it to herself/

Don’t nobody care, they could paint her face white, we still know she black….just ask MJ.
LADYTEA

that’s a dag on lie, anyone can look at the picture to see her complexion has been altered, she looks like Solange (Sos~Angel) in white skin, horse head and all.. LMAO not so much that this picture is altered, it dosen’t look like her, and I would have been mad as hell if someone printed a altered picture of me looking like this.. if she’s not disapointed at the alteration, she should be mad that she looks like the horse-man in that photo..

This shyt is way overblown! I don’t think they altered her color at all. Light-skinned folks are like chameleons; we change colors depending on the time of year!

Pick up a magazine and see the REAL ad. If one thing we know for damn sure, it’s that you can’t trust anything you see on the internet. Believe dat!
NYCUTIE

Agree w/ Hune! Whatup chica
Crazy Katgirl, I see you too
red boy

couldn’t it be the lighting that is making her appear lighter than pic number 1? but dammit fuck all that…who cares? now when loreal paris makes sheryl underwood look like cameran diaz then you all should get upset. but naw since it ain’t BEY…yall gon’ be like dang…sheryl sho’ looks cute in that ad.
tintin

nope they lightened her to appeal more to their white woman that buy their hair products. the ad is ugly and beyonce should have cussed them out when she saw the spread. they completely took away all her ethnicity. if it was a full body shot, her thighs would have been altered cause we all know white women ain’t got no shape.

Beyonce is a person of mixed ancestry, including Caucasian ancestry. So, it’s not impossible that she can become very pale and show more of a Caucasian profile at a certain angle. At some angles she looks more Native American, and she can also look like a black chick.

He versatility in that area has contributed to her mass appeal and marketability – IMO.

Ugh! Get your panties out your ass Black folks! We come in ALL DIFFERENT COLORS! Who gives a fluck if she’s light in the picture! Does that mean she’s ashamed to be Black? Do you think tanning White folks are ashamed to be White?

She looks like a flucking Hindu in the picture on the left! All she needs is a red dot in the middle of her forehead! That is NOT her normal color either!

NYCUTIE- Hey ma!;)

Andre’ Benjamin aka Dre’ 3000 said it best:

‘Give me a drug so I can make seven babies
Pump my breasts up, can you suck the fat up
Please make my life appear
like ain’t no such thing as bad luck
My, nose ain’t right
Like I need a new one
Just take your pick, a yellow red
A black or a blue one’

YT this is dedicated to you….

The correlation to Loreal and Fox News?Both racist.End of discusssion.

But I could care less.Beyonce’ looks more brown (my color) and not as light skin.But this ish is not worth the time.

Yesterday I received my fall issue of ELLE and what ad was in it??? Yes the one above with B and Loreal… whoever is sending the ad around to bloggers (or where ever bloggers are getting it from) is NOT the way it looks in print. It looks like her and her regular (what ever that means) skin color. B is okay with me so I’m not stanning on this—–people go and find a fall magazine with this ad, its looks totally different in person.
prynsexxx

That Loreal ad looks like they consulted with Crayola to come up with a new color. That is not a color known to man or woman. I think the name for the new color should be:

“Whipchlak” – white, peach and black

Wouldn’t you agree?

Furthermore, if they had to do ALL THAT to make her look White, they could have just…
GOTTEN A WHITE GIRL TO DO IT! When’s the last time you heard of a big corporation using a Negro to sell to White folks?

Beyonce is LIGHT…

Beyonce AIN’T WHITE!!! (as in that picture in the advertisement)
Steel_Blk_Magnolia

Has anybody thought of the fact that just maybe, Beyonce is really that “light-skinned” and has been using bronzer to appear a little more “colored”? I have seen some questionable pics of ole girl over the years and she does have that sprayed on look sometimes.
Just a thought…
karaz

umm they even lighten white girls! Beyonce in not being singled out in that aspect.
terika83

They probably did, but Sandra if you are comparing it to the picture you put next to it there is no comparison because in that pic Bey clearly had a tan in a can. I’ve seen some pics of Bey with no make up no tan or nothing and she was actually REALLY light.
iscream

This topic is getting WAYYYYY outta hand. Does Beyonce have an album or something coming out. All this hoopla over a picture.

LEAVE BEYONCE ALONE!!! lol.

Seriously, I’m just happy her BLACK azz has a job. Like I said before Bey is black and married one of the hoodest big nose negro’s in the industry. She could have damn near any man (black white or other) and she ended up with a rapper? Don’t get anymore black than that.
mimi08

They know they did that purposely and beyonce like the photos and approved the photos. Like i said, if she didn’t like them photos, we all know how her father is, crazy as/s pop-eyed dude would have killed everybody in the room before them pics saw the light of day. Best believe if them pics showed her being whoopi goldberg’s color, there’s no wayyyyyy them photos would not have been corrected.

She approved them damn photos…she wants to identify more with the white race anyway, and keep the black race around with catchy sayings and loud music. She’s long been a sellout, and i wish people stop making excuses for her, and call it what it is. Beyonce has long been trying to toad the fence between black and whites, obviously with her look, identifying more with white with the long fake blonde hair and so forth. Get real, she’s a fake broad and a sell out.

Okay I’ve seen Beyonce up close personal at the 40/40 last March and the chic IS SUPER FREAKING LIGHT!!!

Honestly we didn’t even know it was her at first until JayZ passed us and then it dawned on us…that was Beyonce (with the brightest red lipstick on and that damn beret ish on her head).

I gotta say as a member of team bright the previous poster (Hune916) is right, our shade changes with the seasons on the real.

And by our I mean blackfolks in general…yall know this!!!!

And lets not get started on how a camera can lighten you up. I sent a recent pic to my best friend and she now refers to me as “Powder”!!!!

Sincerely,

A Beyonce’s hater at heart I promise!!!!
http://www.myspace.com/hune916 HunE916

I have a confession to make first….I, HunE916, have always had a long-term, deep-seeded, obsession with JAY-Z.

Yes, I said it God Damn it! I sit here in disbelief and let you b*tches bash my imaginary husband everyday! And I stay silent- but NO MORE! I LOVE JAY-Z! I wish I could mount him and let him put them big fat soup-cooler lips all on my…{slaps myself in the face}…

AllRightyThen.

Anyway. Sandra’s got nothing on the HATRED I have for Miss Knowles (she’ll NEVER be Mrs. Carter in my eyes)! I hate that man-stealin’, to the left singing, bootilicious, corn nibblet teeth havin’ heffer with every fiber in my body…

But I have to march in arms with The Black Katie Couric. That b*tch is just yellow. And that’s just the way it is.

Now, enough of this non-sense! Sandra, can we PLEASE get some REAL news, like then throwing Kwame Kilpatrick in jail or something!?
karaz

LMAO@ HunE. OMG, you just made my day…

But Beyonce has gotten lighter over the years, which means nothing because so have I, hence my need to bake poolside.
bubblez

mizzdallas and mimi08 can both go kill themselves. that ‘latina’ comment is old as hell and was taken out of context. lmao at beyonce haters claiming not to like her yet they remember everything she says. get the hell outta here.

mimi08 is just dumb as rocks. beyonce is in contract with loreal and does not get the final approval when it comes to loreal pics.

regular black women wear blonde weave/wigs every day. are they all sell outs too? you probably got a wig/weave in your head now. get outta here with that mess.

this will blow over like everything else. beyonce haters been hating for 11 years now and she STILL here #4 on forbes and married to the richest man in hiphop. haters just go jump off a bridge and get it over with because this only makes Beyonce more famous. She not going nowhere. period.
http://www.myspace.com/hune916 HunE916

Now, now, bubblez! We have a peaceful truce going on around here and we don’t go around calling people stupid or telling them to jump off a bridge! Okay?

We didn’t tell B to choke herself with that L’Oreal #42- Wanna Be White Blond lace front, now did we?

Would you kiss Tina with that filthy mouth of yours?
hellava10

Damn bubblez! Be cool,spread love….no need to folks to kill themselves. Now you can punish them by wishing they had to listen to a R…..certain CD all day on repeat.

Hun, I’m speachless at your admission. I offer you a hug and a drink. But I will cut you becuase I just wasted my damn drink with the “corn nibblet teeth”. HA! She doesn’t have small teeth, just big gums.
http://www.myspace.com/hune916 HunE916

@ hellava10

I’m not going to be having no more of this Jay-Z disrespect around these parts, damn it! I’m start Stanning for that nicca like bubblez to Beyonce and toosexy to Trina. Fuck it!

(BTW….did you see your Jackson 6 w/ Chris Stokes pic you requested yesterday? )
http://www.myspace.com/hune916 HunE916

lol If you go to L’Oreal’s website, www. loreal .com/ (I inputted spaces) there’s a sista on the home page!
http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user nia

SHE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE WHITE CHICKS FROM Marlon and Shawn’s movie. LMAO!
LADYTEA

you may not be able to trust anything on the internet, but I know damn well I’m light bright, and NO I’m not a chameleon!! my looks dont switch up just because I’m light skinned, way lighter than Beyonce.. I get a little browner yeah, in the summer, in the winter yeah, I get a little paler, but never do I chameleonize and turn in-to a whole total diffrent person, like she did for her picture.. I’m just saying, that’s me anyway,
iyonah

LOL @ She could have damn near any man (black white or other) and she ended up with a rapper? Don’t get anymore black than that. —

The real ad looks diff and for the record she is rather light …. I am more than sure taht this post isn’t affecting her @ all in life so people let it go … debating color is pointless … lets talk about this gas situation
phineinphilly

I agree with ladytea, no dam way her skin tone will change that dramatically. She probably hasn’t been that light since she popped out the womb. Loreal needs to stop bs’n and admit they went overboard with the photoshop.
ggouch

did i just have my post deleted? What happened? Was my fist of revolution raised to high?
