L'Oreal denies lightening Beyonce's skin
NEW YORK (AP) -August 7, 2008 "We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is
categorically untrue that L'OrDeal Paris altered Ms. Knowles'
features or skin tone in the campaign for Feria hair color," the
Paris-based company said in a statement sent to the Associated
Press through the singer's representative.
The ad is in the current edition of Elle magazine.
L'Oreal, the maker of Garnier hair care and Lancome cosmetics,
is the world's largest cosmetics maker.
A representative for Beyonce said the singer would have no
comment beyond L'Oreal's statement.
Beyonce has been a spokeswoman for L'OrDeal since 2001.
