Sensitive. That word has been used a lot from non-blacks who have worked w/Black people. If Beyonce was *****ed 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 *****, 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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!
