Beauty
L'Oreal/Beyonce Whitewash

Unless she just got vitiligo -- L' Oreal has some serious splaining to do about its bleached out Beyonce ad!
Beyonce
The ad features a severely Photoshopped Beyonce -- almost unrecognizable. So the question ...

2. She is light, but not that light. Loreal what in the world were you thinking? The myth that white skin is the only beautiful skin is a LIE! All shades are beautiful. Hey, you black folks should be offended!

4. When they make fat girls skinny in a pic is it a slap to fat girls? I'm curious as to why they felt the need to whiten her up? White girls gets tans to be that dark, they get lip injections to have full lips? Lets keep it real. We are what we are and if you need to change that your not comfortable with your self. Although for a multi million dollar contract they could paint me green if thats what they wanted.

8. I don't think they didn't want her to look black. That's stupid. Plus, she's a beautiful black woman. Someone did a lousy Photoshop job; that's all. Unfortunately, they made her look much less beautiful than she really is, which should definitely be explained.

9. Beyonce is black not whiteish. I am offended and I am white. She is gorgeous though.

11. Look, I'm black, TMZ, and I really wish you would stop trying to get clicks by always playing the race card...for every race, all of the time! You make every race look bad and provoke awful race fights via the internet. I'm so glad your site is really starting to suck, to me anyway.
Beyonce is a very bright complexioned girl. Have you seen her mom? She's practically white. No this is not a stab at blacks, it really doesn't matter, there are worse things going on to stab blacks rather than a "severly photoshopped" picture of B.
She gets a super tan in the summer, and she's really light originally. Sheesh, consider growing up sometime will ya!

12. Please Beyonce looking white has to do with BEYONCE wanting to look white. Not Loreal. Beyonce has been lightening her hair and skin for a long time now. Check out some photos of her.

13. Beyonce lightening her own hair and skin is a slap to blacks. Put the blame where it belongs.

14. Now that we're on this subject on light facining, look at Rihanna, some music videos of her she looks almost White (Maroon 5 - Never See Your Face Again), and in others she has a nice light cocoa color tone Umbrella, Shut Up & Drive.

I'm just amazed that there's technology out there that can digitally enhance or change your skin tone and it's been done without no one pointing out until now.
