“Categorically Untrue”
Posted by Bossip Staff
L’Oreal claims they didn’t alter Beyonce’s skin in the Feria ad:
“Beyoncé Knowles has been a spokesperson for the L’Oréal Paris brand since 2001. We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L’Oréal Paris altered Ms. Knowles’ features or skin-tone in the campaign for Feria’s hair color.”
“Categorically untrue”. We know she’s a red bone and all, but they know they got her looking like a straight white broad in this ad. SMH.

AM I FIRST? either way….she fine and can get it…and i dont know how this is news.
what about that NOSE?
SHE LOOKS BETTER WITH WHITE SKIN
white is right! sells products…she knew what was up.
BEYONCE SIGNED FOR THIS PHOTO TO BE RELEASED. They didn’t do this as a surprise…
That house of Dereon shirt…
L’oreal is not a product for african americans
so of course they have make miss beyonce a bit
lighter than she actually is …..for them other folks
and so no one adjusted her nose? that shit is straight as hell like her name should be becky sue fuck out of here!!!
then why is all the candids, this chick got a tan?
Try again Loreal
Bey looks like an albino man in this pic. not flattering at all
*thumbs down*
On how she handles the comparisons to Beyonce…
“At first I didn’t want to make people uncomfortable in interviews, I didn’t want to come off rude or arrogant. Now, I just really don’t care.”
On how her upcoming album “Sol-Angel” is different from her 2003 debut Solo Star…
“Then I just didn’t know how to execute what I wanted. I was 15, and made a record with no identity. I was at a label [Sony] that didn’t develop me, they just got all the big heads together and hoped to formulate a big song. I started writing all these Sol-Angel records three years ago but no other artists wanted to cut them. It wasn’t cool yet because it was before Amy Winehouse, Adele and Duffy. A few people asked, “why aren’t you cutting those records yourself.” Geffen gave me the opportunity to record, turn it in and sign when I was done. I thought for sure I’d do an indie record, where I am happiest, but the key and the challenge now is trying to work with label and get them to know me.”
On why she’s not your average R&B artist…
“I have never felt at home in one demographic. That’s my struggle with management and my label, getting everyone to identify that just because I’m African-American, that doesn’t mean that I’m an urban artist. I make music for people that have a sophisticated ear and are brave enough to support something non-traditional. People complain about the state of music, but there are alot of diverse and talented artists with people that support them. But their fans aren’t the ones calling the radio station, they just want to see a good show. So I said, we should just do a tour and all of the artists that are going to be a part of it will have the same voice and stance on music. So, we, Janelle Monae, Chester French, the Knux and I, got all of our managers on the phone and started making a tour happen. It’s in the very early stages, but we’re trying to put something together.”

I’m actually really feeling Solo’s sound this time around. More ish when you read
the blondish/light brown hair and eyebrows does not go with her natural skin complexion, if u saw pics of her when she was lil she was light-skinned but not this light, i think it could possibly be the lighting and makeup but as for the nose, maybe she got some work done…the whole look hands down is not cute at all, it just makes her look much older then she is
Lets talk about the fact that she’s wearing a lacefront and not her real hair for this ad. Beyonce is a lot lighter in this ad and L’Oreal needs to be ashamed and whoever gave the ok with this photo in Beyonce’s camp needs to be fired.
I used 2 work 4 L’oreal, and I can say this for CERTAIN, they have an entire empire built on telling lies. Years ago when they signed Beyonce on, I pointed out that none of this was her hair. Their response to me was, “customers can have hair {like} Beyonce’s and get around the fact that it’s not her actual hair that she grew from her scalp”…
spin doctors are employed with ENORMOUS salaries to make you believe this crap.
They lying and Bee wears weaves
Personally I don’t think they lightened her skin either. In person Bey is very light. She may have purposely avoided the sun for this shot to be taken but I don’t think any photoshop was done. Now the nose is a totally different story. Jay should have told her she was fine just the way she was.
So what if it’s not her hair. She’s selling beauty products. Not hair products.
I laugh at how they are trying to back peddle now. If they would have not altered her looks no one who be committing on it. And before all the fans come out and start accusing black women for being jealous of the hottest chick in the game, some of the white blogs and media outlets are commenting on this also.
When you have white people asking why a well known black person is looking white, this is a problem.
Don’t just blame Loreal. Beyonce had something to do with this as well. She probably approved the finished product and if not, she’s too greedy to care. Remember, this is the same broad who charges stans to be part of her fan club. SMDH.
she looks like a horse with that nose not flattering at all ugly……….
So what if it’s not her hair. She’s selling beauty products. Not hair products.
Loreal Haircolor Feria. Sorry to disappoint, but Feria is a hair product. She does the hair and beauty lines.
I believe this picture was photoshopped, because when I first saw it, I was like this is the ugliest photo I have ever seen of her. As a matter of fact,I have never seen an ugly picture of her until this ad can out. It’s a bit disappointing when you can take a natural beauty like her and make her look ugly because your trying to make her look white.
good point. that isnt her hair.
so what exactly is Loreal marketing?
that color looks dry and disgusting. I think I see better textures in a stack of hay
If the photo was not altered, then they probably used some strong lighting. Remember folks, the lights used on a photo shoot are very, very strong and can wash you out…which looks like what happened here.
WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS SHE WEARS LACE FRONTS SO THAT’S FALSE ADVERTISMENT
it depends on the season this pic was taken. in the winter i get whiiiiiiiiiiiiite. it aint a good look, but it does happen when i’m in a place where it snows.
in the summer i get good tans maybe even darker than i’ve ever seen b. the nose is boo boo though. pure unadulterated boo boo.
You are an idiot if you don’t understand that her image was “softened” to appeal to the color struck masses.
solange was on point with her comments. And I love Janelle Monae. She’s the real.
I sorry but that alterd nose is disgusting.
L’Oreal made a comment?
I Ddidnt have a problem with her skin it was that fucked up mop they put on her head and claims loreal works lol
Does this product work on weaves?
yes they did they lightend her skin and did something to her nose
true that!
I think that she need to do something about that. I love me some Beyonce.. Go girl..It could be that she is turned at a different angle..They did lighten the skin…I think that should do it over again
Why are people surprised? Beyonce has been wanting to be White since day one. All those blonde weaves and nose job only point to the fact. She prides herself in her whiteness and got rid of Farrah Franklin due to competition. She even stated that she wanted to be Spanish. This ad met her approval. Let’s move on already. She’s irrelevant.
They may not have altered the picture but they sure did brighten those stage lights to make her look washed out. Come on with the games.
honestly
i think it look like her..it looks like they just did alot of work on dat damn hair and eyebrows!..
if u really pay attention to beyonce pics shes always light one day and darker the next..i dont know if she gets tans,or maybe it just da damn make up..but shes always light like dat..& den the nxt day shes darker..look up sum pics of her
but yeah maybe its da damn makeup
Please L’Oreal.
This is a shame and an insult. Beyonce should be ashamed to have allowed them to alter her, thats like sayin your not beautiful enough naturally… some ppl would do anything for money
If that is Categorically untrue then this is Catergorically not Beyonce!
Hey Auntie!
Whoever said L’Oreal is not a product for AA’s is trippin I love their power, and concealer, I like it better than the Queen collection Maybelline has….
HAY YOU WONT TO HERE SOME THING I DIDNOT UNDRSTAND
I WAS AROUND TOWN SHOPPING AND WHITE GIRL LOOKED AT ME AS I WAS CROSSING THE STREET AND TURED UP HER RADIO, THAT WAS PLAYING 50CT,,I’M SHE BLASTED IT ,,WHAT WAS HER POINT???????
LIES LIES LIES HONEY!
SHE GOT A NOSE JOB,,,THAT’S WHAT>>>>>
Whoever said L’Oreal is not a product for AA’s is trippin I love their power, and concealer, I like it better than the Queen collection Maybelline has….\
________________
i use L’Oreal products because i am very light skin
but that product is aim at *white* they really dont have products for dark skin black woman
That might be her skin, MAYBE her real nose, but that DAMN sure ain’t her hair…its not even a good Photoshop!
She looks totally light on this ad and also her nose does look like she has had a nose job..
@DanaDane
That might be her skin, MAYBE her real nose, but that DAMN sure ain’t her hair…its not even a good Photoshop!
Okay not her hair at all and that is called FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. EVERYBODY KNOWS SHE WEARS LACEFRONTS!
She do look different in this pic skin tone is lighter and her nose is long and pointed out I noticed her nose 1st when I saw this.
Bey has nothing to do with the concept, the photo, the make-up, the retouching. She just shows up and collects a check. They might have not altered her skin tone, but it was lit to blow out her skin. And L’oreal definitely doesn’t care about using real hair.
that’s right….because she is red boned her complexion should be light honey brown, reddish brown, or light brown…….they got her looking straight up white.
The nerve to release a press statement as if African American’s don’t know the true hue’s of their race.
Did they brush up the pics or does L’Oreal make you appear lighter or whiter than you actually are?
FASHION FAIR! Where’s Patti?
ethang bitch go kill yourself. your rihalien stan ass is always on beyonce clit hating on all her posts. dont be mad because she is the #1 black female artist and kills your favorite artist on everything. now go off yourself and get it over with.
beyonce is a natural beauty with millions of fans and more than enough talent and success.
over the past 11 years stuff like this has happened occasionally, but people move on and beyonce continues to make her millions and have her success. wont nobody even give a shit about this ad next week. so ethang can go kill herself hating ass bitch.
I don t hear anything being said about the nose job that she got in the ad…screw the lighter skin they can always blame that on lighting and make-up BUT WAT ABOUT THE NOSE?
#1 black female artist
_____________
uh really !!!!
If you look at the post below this, Beyonce and Mariah is the same complexion.
Damn “Fuck ethang” it ain’t that serious…hop off she’s right beyonce did say she wanted to be Spanish…and all your fuck u’s can’t do anything to change that or the fact that Beyonce’s face was altered in the L’oreal Ad…and u said so yourself that things like this happen and people move on…so there’s no need to get buck with Ethang for saying the same thing…relax. u r not on beyonce’s pay crew r u?
GTFOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stevie Wonder can see she’s light, bright and damn near white in this picture!
Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ fuck ethang (you wish)
Sad little stan. Truth hurts doesn’t it? How much is Bey charging you to defend her in every post? We all know Daddy Knowles and Bey love milking their fans for all their worth.
Anyway, Beyonce is the furthest thing from a natural beauty. Skin bleaching, nose job and blonde weaves do not natural make. She only serves to give Black women identity issues.
Too bad she’s too greedy to defend her image. Or like I said and believe, she approved this ad. Either one is equally as bad.
Hi Lauren!!!
Was offline for a minute, hope you’re having a good day!
This is so ridiculous . . . I was wondering what idiot started all this. As Black folks, we know we can look different with lighting, and then hair color changes the way your skin tone looks, too. I was hanging out with one of my white male friends a couple of months ago, and he made some comment about tanning. He didn’t think Black people did, and then I showed him my feet that now are two distinctly different colors because of the way the straps are. He could believe how pale my feet are . . . This whole discussion is so ridiculous. Plus, when was the photo taken. This discussion could be ruining Beyonce’s paycheck from that company. They won’t want to take the heat over there.
To me, the issue isn’t that they lightened her skin, it just looks GHASTLY!
Nuff Said.
Forget about the complexion WHAT ABOUT THAT UGLY WITCHY NOSE?????
I was recently in India, and Loréal was pushing a product called “White Perfect”. Seriously. I need to write to them.
your skin tone changes with lightening, sometimes we can look darker or lighter, just depends on the setting and the flash. People will try to make an issue out of everything, DAMN!!! Hell, if you stay out of the direct sun light, you get lighter, just like during winter months, you get lighter, why is this even an issue to where Loreal had to release a statement regarding it. STUPID.
Now everyone is a photographer, a lawyer, a makeup artist, and etc.
You think you know but you really don’t know anything. Who knows when this picture was taken. And who really…..really cares. Did this picture make you want to be white? NOOOOOOOOOO so stop with stupid debate.
You don’t know whether or not Beyonce approved this picture.
You don;t even know if this is the original picture…..this could be altered.
let it go..
LIGHTING, sorry for misspelling
Forget about the complexion WHAT ABOUT THAT UGLY WITCHY NOSE?????
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Theses stan need to get off skin tone and address the nose. Black people come in all different shades. Some are naturally lighter than this photo. Please address the photo-shopped nose.
To any fan, can you please comment on how you feel about her altered nose without using the word hater in your comment?
Wow people are in here cursing eachother out. I look at it as this: she may have signed a contract saying they could do whateva they want to her pictures. Stupid move on her, but oh well I guess the money was a better deal. Many stars do this to be honest so I look at them as mere entertainers. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s her real nose cause 7 out of 10 stars even the most popular ones get at least Rhinoplastic surgery (look it up) she’s on the list with many. As far as her skin yeh I think they may have put a bunch of light on her, but not all the light in the world can make a lightskin woman her complection that light and yes I’m a photoshop expert trained and all. They brightened the photo which doesn’t take long to do. She has never had an ad with Loreal that has been so light even with blonde hair, but then again I guess all of those photos were taken in the summer time maybe.
Not to mention the chiseled manly face when she has pretty cheeks.
If she and her daddy don’t have a problem with the picture, neither do I. B is red as hell, she didn’t mind one more white coat. She signed the release, cashed her check, and kept it moving. I am sick of reading about her. Isn’t it about time for her and her mystery husband to start on them 5 million dollar babies?? Now that is what I am waiting to see and read about.
Some black women already have self-esteem issues when it comes to beauty, but you have your diehard fans still making excuses. Not everything is about money. As much money has she as made from the Loreal contracts she may lose that much 10 fold when she losses her fanbase because of being ashame of her blackness.
Hell yeah they altered it, got her looking like that ugly white bitch Sarah Barellis or one of them ugly bitches from top model. Look at that long ass nose, just look at it, and that hair is fake as hell, I know she wear weaves and everything but dammit, stevie wonder know that shit ain’t real, he don’t know his hair line fading, but he can see that shit. That’s not hot, Black Beyonce is hella prettier. Fo realz.
they lying she is not that light and i dont like that picture at all. she looks better her own natural skin color..!! and that pointy nose has got to go! looks like a witch nose!
Oh really.. you got me cracking up and your comment was just like mine… funny how minds think alike… that nose is like a witch’s nose and pointy noses is not what i like .. beyonce’s nose is way better than that ole pointy ski slope nose!
Some of yall right, her flat ass did say she wanted to be spanish, that’s fucked up, she don’t even look spanish in that pic, she doesn’t look white, look like she from another planet, waaay out.
all i know is i saw a lady with a nose so long, when she went to drink out of a cup her nose went half way down in the cup,, so please i am happy with my nose that is not sticking out from my profile like a anteater!!
its the flash and the angle at which the photo was taken that makes her nose look different
thats all
That hair ain’t even weave, it’s a fucking wig, shame on any women for buying it, hella shame on a black women, that color ugly as fuck. SMH, can’t stand to see a sister looking better than a white bitch, gotta go fukk her up. Shame. This like the second time they tried to turn Bey into a white lady, shame.

LMAO.. lol thats funny!
What about the horrid hair colour, she is posing like a ****ing Scandinivian and it is making me sick!
christina aguilera looks awful in this picture
LMFAO @ Trace “posing like a ****ing Scandinivian “
LMFAO @ Trace “posing like a ****ing Scandinivian “
That is so on point. If the would have used and white model this picture would make sense.
Geez I hope this picture really is photoshopped because Beyonce looks UGLY!!! She look like the wicked witch.
She a nice looking lady but she look like Jennifer Lopez in that commercial. I like it but shes nottt as beautiful as Jennifer Lopez. Jenny look nice with blond hair also but I guess she taking a break wit her new babies. This girl is very pretty tooo.
Damn..
She really is catching flack for this one. Not that I disagree, she really ISN’T that light. I agree with the poster that said one minute she’s brown, then the other minute she’s bright as hell. I’ve seen her in person , no make up, and really she’s light brown. Now what your own personal definition of ‘light skin’ is, I dunno. Didn’t she already go through this with Vanity Fair a coupla years ago?
Hey people. We need to really pick our battles wisely. This petty debate has made its’ way onto TMZ! As a group we look weak making a BIG deal about this. This is the type of stuff that makes us come across as “Difficult”. People do not know how to come at us because we are all over the place constantly complaining about how the white man does not hire us and when they do we complain about how they portrays us. Let Beyonce fight this one on her own. Oh wait, she is not complaining about this…..So REALLY what is the problem? Do you not want Black people to get work from the mainstream advertisers?
its crazy how some females look different depending on the color of the skin. Dark Beyonce all day long..
I saw beyonce close up at the Jay-z concert in MSG a few years back and let me tell you she is very light and thin in person. I think she is naturally very light. If you remember the Ring the Alarm video she looks very light in the close ups about the same as she does here. I think people just see her with tans from all the vacations she takes and think that’s her natural color. As for her nose…that’s another story.
Taitai,
I don’t think anyone in a blog makes big deals over things. For one every person in this comment section is a consumer and we are the ones who keep these companies and entertainers in business. This picture has made its way to both black and white sites and its not due to blk people. White people are also upset and somewhat offended from what I’ve read on some of the sites. Had that been gwenyth Paltrow on this add with a dark sprayed tan, a photoshopped big nose, and some braids in her hair then I guess that’s the only time we can complain. Beyonce can do what she wants because she is her own person like anyone who comments here. To be hired by the big time advertisers you shouldn’t have to let go who you are. Then again its that persons choice but don’t say people are making a big deal because they don’t agree with it. Loreal only released that statement because they are afraid of losing consumers.
That does not look like her at all. That nose looks photo shopped. If I were here I would have that ad pulled.
Loreal only released that statement because they are afraid of losing consumers.
I completely agree.Even white people have notice that this well known black person looks have been altered to look white. But I notice no one wants to comment on the alterd nose. I wonder why?
BEYONCE IS NATURALLY LIGHT AND HER NOSE IS NATURALLY POINTY…HECK, LOOK AT BOTH HER MOM AND DAD’S NOSE, THEIRS IS POINTY TOO!
AND PEOPLE PLEASE DONT ACT LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER TAKEN A PICTURE BEFORE AND YOU LOOKED LIGHTER THEN YOU ACTUALLY ARE… IM SURE SHE WAS SURRONDED BY SO MANY BRIGHT LIGHTS AND SHE IS ALREADY RED AS IT IS.
I agree with Jas….and black folks tan and use spray tans. not to just get darker but to also even out their skin tones and get a glow. I am latin, and I sometimes go to the tanning salon and and get a glow to me. MATTER OF FACT….TRUE STORY. BABY BASH’s gay ass was in the tanning salon I was in waiting to tan. So when you see Beyonce looking all golden dark, its fake. just like her hair.
She looks Tyraish.
Why use a weave to sell hair color? Just buy a different color weave.
Don’t blame L’Oreal. Shoot, she chose to look like that.
Damn it’s called lighting.
Beyonce just contoured the hell out of her nose, thats all. I think basically people want her to stop with the fake ish, she is a black woman-this blonde hair and selling out with a contract with loreal (who to my understanding don’t have black haircare products) has got to go.
She doesnt look white, she looks like a fine ass liteskin rich black woman.
Kerry Washington is on the Loreal site and she looks black. So why should they have to alter Beyonce’s skin? B/c she approved of it. You don’t hear her sayin it was wrong, or she didnt like it. She’s not gonna speak to her stans about it. But come album release time she’ll be talkin up a storm. THIS IS WHO YALL LOOK UP TO STANS! SOMEBODY WHO DON’T REALLY GIVE A DAMN ABOUT U UNLESS SHE HAS AN ALBUM OUT.
That nose is ugly as hell…her real nose looks way better
I WISH ALL WHITE WOMEN LOOKED LIKE THAT
Looking at this picture reminds me of all the self hate that goes on within our community. It saddens me. That this woman’s self worth is hidden behind bleached skink, nose surgery and weaves. I can’t do nothing but question why? She knows the black community loves her but insists on trying to look white. I do believe that she had to approve of this photo before it hit the public. SMDH.
Beyonce, like most celebs are after the almight dollar and the limelight. Bey got both with this ugly pic. She has everyone talking about her, just like she did when she said she wishes she were Latina. This girl can stay relevant and still get paid even if the comments are negative. If you think she doesn’t know what she’s doing, and sitting back laughing all the way to the bank…your crazy. She knows any blog about her is getting a lot of hits, and she craves the attention, even the negative attention. She’s probably trying to steal her sisters spotlight, without dropping new music.
Really it could be the lighting or something. I mean I doubt they would ever admit it anyway.
Y’all lying on Bey. She did not say she wanted to BE Spanish. She said she envied the CULTURE. For the record, most of Latin America is more African than the US full of African influences. Where did you think samba and mambo and salsa came from? Europe. I think Bey was saying she loved their African influenced culture. I don’t think she meant she wanted to be or look Latin.
Loreal is for HAIR COLOR!!!! Not texture or growth this is NOT false advertising. It is for hair dye, meaning “if you use this hair coloring product then your hair will be THIS COLOR”!!! So what if they used a wig for the DYEING process. It could also be the lighting because as a model myself I know that lighting has alot to do with the way your photos turn out. Now as to whether this was done diliberately, I don’t know, but if her camp knew about it then be mad at them. I swear ya’ll sum ignant mofo’s smdh.
One more thing since they are selling HAIR COLOR did you maybe think that maybe this complexion goes better with the actual colr they are selling and that if they used her true color maybe it would look too fake. I know some of ya’ll negroes have no shame being black as the crayon with blonde hair, but let’s be real it;’s not a good look. It could also be the time of year she took them that may be affecting her, I know I get lighter in the winter and darker in the summer when I’m exposed to the harsh rays of the sun. That’s just my 2 cents.
I think it is the lighting.
her nose is just Yuck. So is that hair color
This is a big somethin about nothin. Who cares about her nose and her skin tone…as long as you are happy with yourself.
without all the makeup & spray tan, that is her true complexion. i went to middle & high school with her so i know. it doesn’t matter she’s still pretty.
doesn’t anybody see beyond the color
beyonce has to have some mental breakdown and showcasing her problems as a white woman same as micheal jacksons over worked plastic face
it is not the color everyone should worry about or the obvious change of nose why not focus on the fact that a woman (beyonce) married an obvious black male feels the need to turn herself into a white woman
it is so obvious that being white does not add up to happiness or being better it is infact through beyonce own picture here that it is a mental problem, a disease from within her family that is showcased that is also faced within the black community that is what is being highlighted. L’oreal can only make the picture but beyonces fans made her who she is and it is her decision to go ahead with the photo. but the fans already knew beyonce has been plasticly altering her face for years now long before her solo album it is not news
color is not and never has been important
white is a symbol of the way the world was conquered white was used as a symbol of that success it does not represent the personality of the people that represent that acheivement and black was the symbol of failure because we ruled the world and lost it 2000 years prior to the invasion of africa beyonce is uses this white symbol as a gesture of her overcoming her demons we should look at that it is really bad there is so many issues going on in her family life and those problems is what makes her the most wealthiest on forbes list. why would i want to be like that or anybody idol that image of sadness
oh yeah and just for the cynics out there
i am not a dude
just because you hear rumors does not make them all true,some are but that has nothing to do with me even in the slightest of truths
People are tripping like there are no light skin black chicks in the universe. Black people tan too. Her complexion doesn’t look so much different from the other pics. She probably just hasn’t been in the sun for long all summer. You add in some lighting and that’s probably a natural pic.
L’Oreal simply used a photo undertone that matches her hair color. That is ALL. Stop already with the nonsense. There is NO whitewashing…this country needs to stop with this racist, color bullshit already!! It is called creative photo imaging. All ads and mags do it!!
THIS BITCH IS ON SOME BULLSHIT LETTIN THEM DO THAT TO HER…MAKIN HER LOOK WHITE,FUCK BEYONCE!!!!
not a good look B
I don’t see the big deal either. Beyonce probably loves the picture.
What amazes me is that so many of you black Americans can barely write in your already corrupted American English. It makes me cringe to see the way you express yourselves. I am Black British and I am so mortified that the most famous mixed race and black people are American because you are, in many case an embarrassment.
And also this is typical Beyonce FAME 101…they always have an ISSUE which keeps her name out there moreso than her FORGETTABLE music:
-the DC break up
-the lawsuits
-the marraige
-now Loreal
This is Fake advertising because Beyonce is not wearing her real hair on her head that hair is a lacefront piece. I never knew Loreal did ads for lacefronts unless u could colour the lacefronts.
Beyonce must have approved this shit so why shud we give a fuck? She hasn’t been in the media lately because her head is far up jay-z ass. This picture is a way of staying relevant, look at all the controversy its causing.
Beyonce needs to stop with this fake image because shes losing fans by the min but she prob doesn’t care because she already has all the money in the world to retire with jay-z, because dumb ppl like me were the ones that were feeding her and her fake image for the past years.Loreal Does not make Hair products that work on African American hair, everyone knows that
Best of luck to u beyonce…..even if u wish me the opposite
I think the reason that folks have issue with this ad is, it shows a white woman on the box right next to beyonce’s pic….so thats why they are saying that she looks white!! But if thats what she feels like she has to do, oh well..its her soul, not urs!!
She looks tore up, nose is horrible. She is so much prettier than that. Get it together Loreal!!
Everybody is jumping on Loreal what about Beyonce? She knew what was up. Loreal does not compliment African American skin anyway. The colors have always been geared toward white women!
FIRST OF ALL…..beyonce is mulatta….[creole]..her mom is lightskin…AND i just saw a pic of her and jay-z in the middle of the day…walking around in NYC…and she was the exact same color……third of all…the term “white broad” is the reason i have to deal with white chix gettin in my way in the supermarket…can u simma that shit down …..it gives us all a bad rap…real talk.
Beyonce is ALL Fake!!! so this ad is not a surprise
The skin is not all they changed. She doesn’t even look herself. Beyonce is a beautiful girl but she looks blah and boring on this picture.
it’s just he lighting man. They would never lighten a person just to sell more of their products to the people that buy them. that is just preposterous and outrageous.
Not only have they altered her skintone, and that her hair is fake, but they have also altered her voice on those commercials. I have a friend who works for L’Oreal and they said that they had to REALLY work with Beyonce to “soften” her up b/c although she’s pretty, but she was a little too “hood” for their liking.
You ignorant fools don’t realize that in big business ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is done to draw the public’s attention to products. The idea is to get attention to the consumer to encourage them to buy. Bee was paid big $$ for that ad, and the company gets the final say. Now…if only Blacks would take over the hair-care products for Blacks industry, e.g. extensions, wigs etc. and stop buying from the Asians.
Sensitive. That word has been used a lot from non-blacks who have worked w/Black people. If Beyonce was pissed about this then we support her. Otherwise, pick on something or someone else. How can a sane person actually think that it is part of BEYONCE Camel agenda to try to “look white” or “whiter”. Maybe some of you guys are projecting and not being fare on this one. And as far as the nose, she was in a weird angle! I would be weirded out if the advertisers placed that nose on Riyannah!!! The camera can be tricky as we all know. Sometimes Bill Clinton’s nose looks like a penis, depending on the angle of the camera. But in true life, I could not see it no matter the angle. So again folks, are we being sensitive?
