L'Oreal denies lightening Beyonce's skin…
Cosmetics giant L'Oreal has denied it lightened Beyonce 's skin tone in an advertisement.
"We highly value our relationship with Ms Knowles. It is categorically untrue that
L'Oreal Paris altered Ms Knowles' features or skin tone in the campaign for Feria hair
colour," the Paris-based company said on Thursday in a statement sent to The Associated
Press.
The ad is in the September issues of Elle, Allure and Essence on US magazine stands.
L'Oreal, the maker of Garnier hair care and Lancome cosmetics, is the world's largest
cosmetics maker.
A representative for Beyonce said the singer would have no comment beyond L'Oreal's
statement.
In the two-page L'Oreal ad, Beyonce 's wind-swept hair is a reddish blond shade with
highlights. A box of Feria in the ad features a white woman with a similar hair colour.
Beyonce has been a spokeswoman for L'Oreal since 2001.
The ad created a stir after it was pointed out on Wednesday by celebrity gossip website
TMZ, which is owned by Time Warner Inc's AOL unit.
TMZ's post showed side-by-side photos comparing the ad with a photo of Beyonce with
noticeably darker skin. It was the site's most commented on post Thursday afternoon.
A representative for Elle said magazine ads are reviewed before they are printed, but
wasn't sure of the exact procedure for checking content.

I think they do. But then again, Beyonce is very light skinned. She is of creole descent & have you seen her mom? I thought she was white, or hispanic. |

Wow, she looks incredibly white.
But I mean.. they were advertising a light hair colour and they probably thought her skin should be lighter.
Then again, it didn't have to be THAT light. |
