L'Oreal/Beyonce Whitewash

Question

What the story on L'Oreal Beyonce Whitewash?

Answer 1

This AM, a couple of internet gossip websites posted picture from L'Oreal's new campaign featuring Beyonce. Many of the comments were negative, saying that she was "whitewashed". This is really ignorant IMHO. She is of mixed heritage. So should it be so unusual that she has fair skin & a mix of different features? The use of lights/flashes can alter anyone's appearance. The use of different shades of makeup to highlight & contour are often used to enhance appearance. People are saying she looks more caucasian in this shoot. That her nose looks really pointy & her skin bleached. RUDE. No one looks the same on every picture. Don't let them try to steal  your shine Bey! :O)

Answer 5

Actually, just because she's of mixed race doesn't give them the right to portray her as white. Her mother is of creole ancestry, which is mixed with black. You don't see Halle Berry, who has a white mother, trying to look white.  Beyonce's nose has been altered to give her a more caucasian look. Beyonce wants to look white, and she has gotten a lot of bad rap from the black community because of it.  

Answer 6

it is wrong and yes beyonce did know she has to consent to it and sign off. she is stupid and has not respect for herself or the african american community. And what about the young women and teens that look up to her that have an image problem. The broad is so fake first she works her butt off to mold her body to be the ideal african american women slim waist big butt and hips but then it comes to your facial feature you want to be white. Chick sit down

Answer 7

There is no way that make up and lights could do this to someone. It's not okay to do this at all. I'm not sure if Beyonce agreed to this or not, but either way there's no explanation. Being mixed (black and white) myself, I am proud of where I come from and who I am and people can't and wont chance me. Beyonce should feel the same way. A camer and lights couldn't bleach her hair that much, change her facial features and skin color this much. It's horrible that someone would do this.

And if Beyonce agreed to it, I am seriously disappointed in her. If she didn't, she needs to sue the h**l outta L'Oreal.
