My church is 4 blocks away from their home, my childs school is 3 blocks away from their home. I\'ve seen, and spoke to, the both of them more times than I can count. In real life you can clearly see the color difference between them. With Michelle\'s own makeup application you can clearly see the color difference between them. As a photography major (once upon a time) I fully understand make-up and lighting.  The two examples you posted were fine, and more true to her color.There is a huge diffence between those and the one I posted. On the one I posted she isnt lighter because of make-up or lighting. She\'s lighter because of Photoshop. No battle should be started over the pic, but it should be noted because we dont want it to become a trend. She got the same treatment on this cover that Beyonce got in that hair product magazine ad.</div>\
