@02Strausd Uhhhh. Is it because she's getting older? She is near 70. Eyes tend to look larger when one is super skinny. Even a head tends to look larger when one is super skinny. Features tend to look dramatically different when one is a size 0 as opposed to when one is a size 8 or 10. We don't look the same at 20 as we did at 13. Why on earth would one think a 68 year old will have the same features as she did at 20. Facial features change dratically over time due to many factors.

@02Strausd You're missing my point. It is one thing to talk about how color or lack of color reflects or absorbs light. It's another to speak of how skin reflects or absorbs light. "Black skin" runs the gamut. However, Black in the literal sense ABSORBS light. White surfaces actually REFLECT light. Look it up. Nevertheless, I am pretty sure that the reason Oprah employs great lighting technicians has more to do with the look of her show than attempting to achieve a specific shade of skin.

Unfortunately many of you Diana Ross fans, and I am one as well, are biased about anything anyone says about her. Diana Ross, has had plastic surgery, skin lightening, and she currently uses Botox. One has only to look at how her facial features have changed over the years. She looks nothing like her siblins...she looks incredibly better. I for one, thinks she looks better as she ages. Look at her eyes, they are smaller...She use to have eyes like her eldest daughter...not anymore. Why?

@RedSunday1984 .

I know little about lighting. All I know what I read, via Photography Magazine, and other Photo Magazines. For one thing, light have different effects of different skin types, colors, hues, For example: Light is absorbed on White skin, it is reflected on black skin.I was watching Oprah one day, and she was talking about lighting and its effect on skin color. Oprah, employs some of the best lighting technicians in the industry.Her skin is lightens by lighting.

@strausd02 Be careful in making it sound as if they are intending to lighten skin. And your statement doesn't make sense. Brown skin is dark skin. In any setting where there is heavy lighting for the stage, the skin will be affected. It doesn't mean that the lighting is being used for the purpose of lightening the skin. Skin absorbs light. I work in theater. It is inevitable to bright stage lighting.

@SpazChat We all go through sun tans and hormonal times and lifestyle changes eating habits which really do affect the way you look, weight skin tone etc… Clearly Diana Ross Did not Bleach her pecan tan Carmel brown complexion because she is still that today it’s just brighter at certain times of the year… that’s natural even on white people... I have to change my make up shade in the fall to spring and the summer – winter too

@terrencemarquis68 See the You Tube clip called Diana Ross: A thing of beauty is a joy forever! Her skin is not bleached!

[INSOLENCE247]

she is hot stuff!

[strausd02]

It is not that these entertainers lighten their skin. If they appear lighter, it is due to lighting technology. They can do so much more with cameras today, than in the day. Couple with make up and lighting, you will be surprise at what can be done. Look at Oprah....She is very dark skinned...However, they make her look rather brown skinned.

@SpazChat and @blkshepherd, I most definitely agree with what you both said regarding skin tone, but let's not forget about stage makeup and that strong stage lighting. Even with adding in those two things, if she has lighten her skin, more power to her!! She's the BOSS damn it, she can do whatever she pleases!
