Remember all the heat L’Oreal and Beyonce were getting for her ad which clearly lightened up her skin? Well now they have come out with a new Beyonce ad that shows her in a much more “natural” tone. Thank goodness because in my opinon, the new ad looks a million times better. Check out the comparison of the old ad here. Via: Bossip
Well now to me that new one doesnt look like Beyonce either! I can see why they had to do the change though.
As someone in PR this looks like a nightmare to me. Clearly L’Oreal is trying to make good to the people but the first ad is on one spectrum and the new one is on the complete other side. Fact is neither one looks like the normal Beyonce that we see every day.
Didn’t Beyonce used to be black?? I hope she hasn’t caught Michael Jackson Syndrome.
Oh she’s still black. Since she is in the tabloids every day you can see her skin is just fine. It’s the magic of photoshop on these ads!
[...] B drops another one for L’Oreal. At least this time it doesn’t look like she is going for the “bleaching” effect. [...]
Ok. To be honest, nothing is wrong with that first ad because of the simple fact is…that is her real color. With all of the bronzing and spray tans then you get her in the second ad with her selling the makeup. If you ever get to see beyonce without bronzing,spray tans, and no makeup (which I have) you will see she is very fair skinned. The problem is, we as African Americans are looking at her as if she is the face of our people, and she is not! Its apparent that her blood line has been mixed with white, so you see similar features to a caucasian women on her. No matter how successful she is or how beautiful she seems( and she is beautiful) she does not have the look of an actual black woman.
