Freida Pinto’s L’Oreal Ad
Last year, Indian actress and model Freida Pinto became embroiled in a skin-lightening scandal when an advertisement for L’Oreal’s ‘Colors Take Flight Project Runway’ makeup showed the brown-skinned beauty with paler skin. L’Oreal, however, denied that they retouched her skin to make it lighter, instead blaming the lightening effect on “powerful studio lighting.” However, some experts in digital photo retouching claimed that L’Oreal did, indeed, alter the photos.
