SEE PICS L'Oreal accused of making Beyonce Knowles 'whiter'

Company says it didn't manipulate pictures of singer

Friday, 8 August 2008

Cosmetics giant L'Oreal has denied it made Beyonce Knowles' skin lighter for an ad campaign.

The singer, 26, appears in an promotion for a hair colour range in the September editions of Elle, Allure and Essence magazines in the US.

And there has been a backlash over the images in the States.

But the company insists it did not manipulate the picture.

‘We highly value our relationship with Ms Knowles,’ the firm said in a statement.

'It is categorically untrue that L'Oreal Paris altered Ms Knowles' features or skin-tone in the campaign for Feria hair colour.’

Meanwhile, Beyonce's husband Jay-Z, 38, says they've not spoken about their relationship because they want to keep their marriage special.

‘I just think it's really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself,’ he tells Vibe.

‘You have to have something sacred to you and the people around you.'
