1.) Yes, Black people tan in the summer, and get lighter in the winter. However, we don't literally CHANGE colors. In the summer, our hair gets lighter, and our skin gets darker. In the winter, our skin gets lighter, and our hair gets darker. I'm not saying this makes her any "less Black". Once again, just an observation.

2.) This is just my opinion. If she is using skin lighteners, or if she isn't, that's her decision. But I think some of her cosmetic procedures are questionable.

3.) I realize color and appearance can change based on lighting, camera angles, etc.

Now here are the pictures.

edit: Observe for yourself. The last picture IS Beyonce, which is why I posted this. There's been a lot of controversy over that ad, because people claim her skin was whitened.

They are in order as of time.

WARNING: Pictures are HUGE.

She was always a lightish, bronze color.

That's definitely Beyonce, that's why I posted this.

There's been a lot of controversy over that last picture. It's a L'Oreal Ad, where people claim that her skin was lightened.
