Comments on: Did Beyoncé Get Whited Out? http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/2008/08/did-beyonce-get-whited-out/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:31:16 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Smiley http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/2008/08/did-beyonce-get-whited-out/comment-page-1/#comment-22462 Smiley Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:36:54 +0000 http://pinkisthenewblog.com/home/?p=3604#comment-22462 I've looked at the other links provided and she looks nothing like what she looks like in the add. Even when her hair is really light. Even when they use black people in adds. It's always the lighter skinned people of color that are chosen. Or the darkest person they can find. But Beyonce is a naturally lighter-skinned person of color. And I noticed it more in her video for "Ring The Alarm" where she is crying. At the point she looks exactly like the add. I don't believe that they lightened her skin. She is usually tanned and when people see her in pictures with her natural skin color it seems to be catching them off guard. But they need to stop the madness. And that hair color is gross. If they want you to buy a product. They should put out the best possible image they can. And this picture is not it.

Either way, I wonder if this will have any effect on sales for L’Oréal Paris, better or worse.

After a long period of time, it will lighten skin tone - it removed pigment.

Someone was adjusting the levels to get the hair color perfect, and they were too lazy to de-select Beyonce's face and neck. No racist conspiracy. Case closed. It’s just a case of Photoshop.

It is rare that we see Beyonce with dark brown/black hair. It is almost always golden/light brown, which accentuates her naturally light skin. http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00391/Beyonce_Knowles_200_391180a.jpg

Hah! I really think it could even be the hair color that makes the skin appear lighter, as well as what she is wearing.
