Yesterday we saw Beyonce’s ad for L’Oreal, and were shocked to find the star’s skin color several shades lighter than her usual complexion. She looked very pale, but even we never imagined L’Oreal would ‘whitewash’ the pics by digitally lightening her skin.
The New York Post entered the fracas and accused the company of making the singer look like a ‘weird, nearly white version of herself’, while TMZ.com called the advert ’severely Photoshopped’.
However, L’Oreal spokesman denied the rumors: “It is categorically untrue that L’Oreal Paris altered Ms. Knowles’ features or skin tone in the campaign.”
