You'll Bug The F*ck Out When You See Beyoncé Without Photo Retouching

We might all think Beyoncé stands high above us mere mortals, that she is not of this earth.

But, the fact of the matter is Queen B is a human being just like the rest of us. And human beings have flaws, whether we'd like to admit them or not.

Keeping that in mind, unretouched photos of Bey from a 2013 L'Oreal ad campaign have made their way onto the Internet.

People out there seemed to be shocked and awed by these pics as they feature Beyoncé in a less than perfect light.

That's only because whenever we see images of Beyoncé or any other celebrity these days, they are almost always airbrushed and Photoshopped. Those images are unrealistic; they're illusions.

But, these leaked photos show a side of Beyoncé we rarely get to glimpse: the human side. I think there's something beautiful about that.

Here are what some people in the Twittersphere are saying about these photos:

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 — Cisco Kid (@kickass_bonet) February 18, 2015
