Following the controversy surrounding supermodel Cindy Crawford’s unretouched photo, a recent leak of pop star Beyoncé’s unretouched photos from a L’Oréal commercial shoot in 2013 has started a new discussion online about the use of Photoshop.
The unretouched photos, released by fan site The Beyoncé World, featured the pop star with “wrinkles and imperfections” on her face and skin.
The fan site has since removed the photos, however, social media users were quick to share their reactions—most expressed their shock and disbelief about the images, while others defended the singer’s appearance.
What are your thoughts on this new discussion?

I don't care for Beyoncé but I'm glad those pictures leaked. She's an actual person & it's deceiving of the media to retouch for perfection
