BEYONCE's BLACK FACE photoshoot...OFFENSIVE OR NOT?

Beyoncé has been catching alot of slack for her controversial shoot in French fashion magazine L’Officiel Paris.

This is the magazines 90th-anniversary issue, which B does a tribute to African culture, donning head wraps and gorgeous gowns. But its one picture in particular that seems to have made a uproar. Beyoncé wears dark face paint, transforming her fair-skinned complexion to a dark brown one.

The magazine stated that:
"The designs are all reflective of the African influence on fashion this season," the magazine says in a statement. "As for the artistic make-up, the inspiration came from several African rituals during which paint is used on the face. We find the images beautiful and inspiring."


We think that it was a true statement of artistry and creativity but we want to know what you think?

Here’s a behind the scenes look at the shoot.
