Celeb Pulp

To some, it is clear that L’Oréal has over-touched up Beyoncé’s pictures, especially with tones and contrasts.

The African American community is said to be outraged that her pictures appear as if her skin tone and features have been altered to make her look “less ethnic” and more like a white woman so she could match the strawberry-blond wig she arbors in the ad.

According to Steve Pope, editor of The Voice , Britain’s best-selling black newspaper, “there is an attitude in the modeling industry that black models do not sell. Models that end up in magazines tend to be very, very light-skinned…”
Hmmm. This would explain the sudden Michael Jackson-like skin tone.

Spokespersons for both Beyoncé and L’Oréal cosmetics denied the allegations. The cosmetic company working with Beyoncé since 2001 stated they made her look as natural as possible.
