Is something wrong with this picture?

August 14th, 2008 · No Comments · life in black and white

I don’t know, maybe the same thing that’s strange about THIS photo on the right?

I mean, I understand lighting can affect overall skin tone.

I personally like my skin tone best on Sararrr’s camera.

But damn, L’Oreal! AND damn In Style! I know both those women aren’t particularly dark, but their respective likenesses have been altered a little too much for my liking. We all know Beyonce’s had rhinoplasty, but that is obviously not her real face in that advertisement. And Rihanna is a gorgeous black woman but on the In Style cover, barring her nose shape, she could certainly, ahem, “pass.”

Speaking of nose shape.

I guess I’m not mad at them, considering their attractiveness, but still. Damn. Where does it end? Of course, something else could be said about people with extensions, colored contacts, and the like (ahem..), but I don’t know. I still think overt airbrushing to make one look “more white” is lame. I also think people saying, “I would NEVER have plastic surgery!” (ahem, Halle) but OBVIOUSLY having work done is LAME. Why even deny it when it’s so obvious?

Yay, Hollywood.
