: A rep for the company says, "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."
that does not look the same...that nose is altered and her skin is like 4 shades lighter....photoshopped to death...and I don't care what lorel said...they altered her appearance ....what am I supposed to believe...my own eyes..or a huge cosmetics company (like they are above lying..give me a break)
My problem with it is Beyonce's lack of voice surrounding this issue. How dare she say she's proud to be African-American yet we see judging by her actions, how ashamed she is of being black. Now you guys can knock me all you want but I know PERSONALLY if I saw my picture was highly digitally enhanced and photoshopped (in a way that downplayed my true beauty) I would take it as an issult, 4 million or not.. The bottom line is she's letting us know that she is not representing African American beauty.
let see the pic on the left is showing she is dark because of the body lotion she is wearing to make her darker because of the sunshine yellow dress. Technically she is a high yellow female where that dress would look horrible on her without the body lotion.
The one on the right is she still her. Come on people if you learn how to pose at different angles of course you are going to look different. Then you have the lights that make it so bright. No she has not been photoshop. You can tell if she been photoshop but she hasnt. She still the same beyonce.
So to add all of this up you got different poses and lights.
Bebe oh please i bet if you go in front of a mirror and do different poses 9 out of 10 you neck would look different, your forehead wont look so big, you lips wont look like they been bitten. Try different types of lights you will look a different shade too.
I don't like the picture to the right. Looks as though they tried to make her as White as possible. Beyonce is beautiful and talented in some ways, but I think she is a poor representation of Black women. I just worry that some Black little girls will think they need to live up to that image and not understand their true beauty. Thats my opinion.
@ whyohme
Yea I know what you're talking about. Back in high school i did a show down at a club and my mom taped it. We checked it out when we got home...my friends clowned me all *** because you could really make out my facial features. The dam stage lights were so bight it looked like the second coming lol!

Agreed but at least she has a shape. Who thinks Parris Hilton is pretty? Her daddy and mother!
My sister Jackie who's always told she looks like Beyonce isn't happy that she's always sexualized, and nots neccessary! I went to a soul food buffet in Gary, IN. 2 weeks ago. All these stars pics were on the wall. Beyonces' pic was extremely immodest and revealing. Her dress was up to her waist and she was lying back in a big chair or something. Thanks miss knowles for flashing me while I'm trying to eat some ribs. You know what I wanted to eat after seeing that, I wanted to eat adams rib! lol

HMMM Natural beauty, it seems I've seen your pic on David Dukes web site. Honest to God folks. I'm almost 100% positive! I get around. I forgot the name of it.... areain something or other. Welcome white racist one. Feel free to share your lies, ignorance, and spite. ALL I can say to you is john 3:16. You can get saved. I was a heathen last *** too. Appologives everyone, especialld dp.
This is to nelrud- I think black women are gorgeous. when they try to be something they are not, then i lose respect. i don't find beyoce attactive that's all. OH, Parris Hilton and those other white celeb. look so natural, give me a break, a smoking jacket , and a crack pipe to fit more of your stereotypes. There's a slim poss. I could be wrong, but I believe I saw your pic on David Dukes web site. In fact I'm virtualy positive! There are alot of black people who have white in them, like Jeremy Wright said, "We didn't plan it". Not that I'm a fan of his gloryhound behind!
this is to nelrud- Well Tyra banks is very pretty but I feel she's different because she's admitted to her insecurities and is soo honest as a woman about the struggles of trying to obtain a form of beauty ideal. i can relate to this because white girls also struggle with looking good just like black women.
What i always felt about beyonce was she's a fake pop singer trying so desperately to pass herself off as legitimately natural. she had a nose job, breast augmentation, chin implant, blonde fake wigs, and seems (i don't know)to be getting brighter and brighter. this cannot be a woman who is comfortable being herself.
To chanel_Iam- you are very pretty.
To nelrud again- Believe me though, we're more alike than different. you and I are women first before skin color, so don't be offended if I think beyonce is not attractive. I don't find ALOT of women in media attractive. Britney spears looks like trailor trash, paris has big feet and a big banana nose, and so forth. why are so many blacks obsessed with color? i didn't make it a color issue. I simply stated she wears too much make-up which makes her look like a transvestite man. sorry.
To nelrud again- Believe me though, we're more alike than different. you and I are women first before skin color
I'm not a woman, now I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU. LOL
Tyra Banks is not light skin boy lol Man, people have realy dif. opinions of what light skin and dark skin is! This brown skin girl on youtube was complaing at the way dark girls are dissed. I didn't think she was that dark, but she did.
Natural b, Why are you trying to act friendly now. In the other thread by fedupman I believe, you said some things that verge on racism. No white woman realy wants a black man or something. I saw your pic on david dukes web site, the former leader of the klan. I'm pretty sure! I could do a yahoo search and prob. find it.
NaturalBeauty28 Flag post To fedupblackman- yes the thug image appeals to white women. But don't confuse (wanting to have wild ***) with mutual respect or love. white women have no genuine love for black men. Black men are more for play toys than anything else. I would never settle and have a family with one
LIAR LIAR, NOW THAT WAS A GOOD MOVIE!
aLOT OF WHITE WOMAN ARE MARRIED TO BLK MEN, THAT'S A RIDDICOLOUS STATEMENT. I see white women with black men and THEIR CHILDREN ALL THE TIME!
i DON'T HAVE TO FIND THAT WEB SITE. I don't know celeb. that well. I don't know if thats a pic of you or a celeb. but someone on that klanish web site has it also, and you're saying the same things!
to nelrud- why would you get intimidated by my refusal to date/marry a black man? do you have low self-esteem?
No, it's just so rid. untrue what you said about white women not marrying blk men, it's obvious untrue. I wasn't talking about your personal prefer. at all. At my church there are way more black women with white men. I see IR marriage everywhere...families. What you say isn't true!
"white women have no genuine love for black men"
This is the problem I have with what you said. Have you've ever lived in CA. or Indy. White women are always trying to get with blk men and not just for ***. I'm not trying to be vulgar but giving a brotha oral *** like every other white girl in CA. seems to be doing isn't exacly putting you in the drivers seat!
To nelrud- You want me that bad?! sorry i am in a relationship and more than likely you are probably ugly.
OF COURSE I'M UGLY, I'M A MARINE! DO YOU EVER HEAR US TALK ABOUT HOW PRETTY WE ARE CLOWN?
No, I tend to like tall dark skin girls, OR *** GIRLS WITH THICK LIPS LIKE FANTASIA. Now if some white girl had her lips, I would've been tempted to give in to the knee pad wearing white girls in CA. You have to have some lips to please a man up and down, period!
GOODNITE But you did miss my post about black womens bodies being more attractive and round, and sexy. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY WRONG, I NEVER HAVE DATED OR GONE OUT WITH WHITE WOMEN. They have stalked me. I've went out with asian women and talked with latin women too! I like women with shape, you are so wrong. Can you say Venus and Serena?
