"Anyone who saw the Feria hair color ad in this month's Elle (pictured, left) might have had to do a double-take to make sure it was really Beyonce, and not the long-lost twin of the light-skinned model on the product's box. Today, in a NY Post report cheekily headlined "O, RÉALLY?," L'Oreal reps deny altering the singer's features and skin tone. The chairman of the media-monitoring committee of theNational Association of Black Journalists even chimed in, arguing that "magazines have to besensitive to perceptions that light-skinned African Americans are moreacceptable."
What do you think -- does the ad offend you, or is this sort of "optimized" commercial image safe in the plasticine land of Fictionarnia we've all come to generally accept at this point, and therefore unworthy of a second thought?
It's the NOSE that has been altered.The bridge has been built up all the way down to look more anglo...." ew.com's%20L'Or%c3%a9al%20ad:%20You%20can't%20do%20that%20in%20advertising!

She's wearing make up. It's a make up ad. Jeez.
she is sooooo over rated. Have respect for Queen Latifah..hell with Beyonce.

ACTUALLY the picture on the left looks more like her than the one they say isnt altered.....beyonce would be gorgeous green. she would still be her. what does it matter?
I want to comment, but I refuse to go on a full blown rant on this country and the rest of the world's perception of beauty, advertising, etc.....
Gee I hope this make-up ad news does not get pushed back by the Presidential election, our troops are in a real live shooting war, or the nation's monetary health is going down the crapper. Then again since George W Bush and his gang caused the above, I bet he causeded this make-up fiasco.
