And some people are saying L'Oreal Paris darkened Beyonce's skin in the ad for Essence, while they lightened it in the ads for the mainstream mags (featured on the right). All the drama popped off last week about the skin lightening in this L'Oreal Paris ad, but did L'Oreal darken it for the Essence ad? Maybe the printing machines were just off. Regardless, here we go again…

That or it could be that they scanned it and altered it to look that way to cause drama. Everything is lighter in the picture on the right, her skin, her dress, her hair...

I've easily seen her look that white on the red carpet with a bunch of bulbs going off in her face. Regardless it's stupid for her to model a blond hair color though. That's just... weird. She doesn't even dye her damn hair. I agree. If you put bright enough lights on anyone, it will look like their skin got lighter... Edit: See, she looks pretty light here, too... Camera lights are making her look "brighter as well. Loreal just fucked up this time. No denying.

The Loreal letters are even a tinsy lighter. They made the entire ad lighter. Which tells me it probably isn't L'Oreal's fault. They most likely sent the ad over and there was a problem with the .pdf or InDesign file. If you want to make someone lighter, you don't change the brightness of the ENTIRE ad. (I worked at an ad agency for almost two years and have had stuff like this happen before. Once the magazine made our ad 25% darker and we couldn't even read our copy.)

Though even if they did lighten the pictures, it may not necessarily be anything to do with "darker skin = less mainstream." I've lightened a ton of pictures in Photoshop myself when making icons or banners - not because I had any problem with the person's skin tone, but because the overall picture was a little too dark and not bringing out the definition properly/the colours looked weird.

And the second ad side-by-side shows that the entire ad on the right looks more washed out. I'd say they have a point if the hair/dress/background/text/etc looked the same and only her skin didn't, but that's not the case.
