Unretouched photos from Beyonce Knowles' 2013 Feria and Infallible L'Oréal campaign leaked onto the Internet this week, causing a stir.
More than 200 photos were in the campaign outtakes, none of them Photoshopped and some showing the singer in full makeup with wrinkled and blemished skin,
according to Mashable.
The singer's fanbase, the so-called "Beyhive," soon came out in full force on social media sites like Twitter, defending their queen. Below are some of the best tweets explaining the flap.
By bringing the issue of impossible beauty standards to the fore, the public discussion seems to have ended positively, with many acknowledging that real human beings have real flaws, and that's ok.
