Did Beyonce Lighten Her Skin?
Recent Photos Shows A Startlingly Pale Beyonce Knowles
Recently spotted in Hollywood was Beyonce Knowles. She looked stunning as usual but something seemed very different…
She looks almost white in this photo.
Her skin color was noticeably lighter. So much that at certain angles she was unrecognisable.
Would you have known this was Beyonce?
As a comparison, lets take a look at Beyonce during her Destiny’s Child days…
Beyonce at the 2005 MTV Awards.
She always had a beautiful ” medium golden honey” skin tone.
Beyonce and Michelle Williams in 2006
Well, there are a couple of possible explanations for the photos of lighter skinned Beyonce:
- Lighting/Exposure – but a photographer friend of mine said the photo does not seem over exposed nor does the lighting seem harsh.
- Photoshop: Perhaps some paps photoshopped the photos, or
- Skin Lightening.
What do you think? If she did lighten her skin, I think it’s a shame since Beyonce’s natural skin colour was perfect.

Gosh. She looks so pale. Is it the same stuff like MJ did??
Heidi
I dont think so Lelena. MJ depigmented his skin – he got rid of all pigment. I think IF Beyonce did anything, she probably just lightened it .

What is up with all these people lightening their skin? is it a white complex?
Heidi
whitening the skin may not be a “white complex” . Some cultures have been doing it for centuries.

what kind of bleach did she use? I knew she was getting lighter by the day but this is really x_x

Wish these celebs wuold tell us what they use. Tired of fake products i used that don’t seem to work.

I’m publishing an ebook soon on hyperpigmentation – hope it’ll have some good advice for you!

i do not think most of us has any clue as to how many people suffer from vitiligo. i have friends of different races who have vitiligo all of varying degrees. some of them just have a small amount of discoloration here and there, but others look as though they have two different skin tones. what is different about my friends however, is that they do not have the money or the resources to correct the problem. of course, their friends and family could care less about the vitiligo, but trust me, it really bothers people who have it. everyone i know that has it hates it, and wants it gone. beyonce probably has it pretty badly and was able to cover it with cosmetics and stuff, but then decided to “fix” it since she can. unfortunately, your only option as far as correcting the problem permanently is lightening then skin to blend into one color. it is a shame that someone hasnt developed a technique that would allow darker skinned beauties to keep their gorgeous skin tone. maybe one day.

are you saying beyonce has vitiligo? kind of hard to believe since she doesn’t have the sort of de-pigmented skin most vitiligo successes have… I agree that the stars have access to the best skincare and medical procedures that moat of us haven’t even dream about : )
