We love all things Queen Bey, so when fan website The Beyonce World leaked more than 200 unretouched images of the singer this morning, we weren’t disappointed.
The shots were taken from commercial and ad shoots for L’Oréal’s 2013 Feria and Infallible campaigns and despite some online backlash, the singer still stuns in the close-up portrait shots.

The Beyonce World soon removed the shots after rival fan sites criticised the content, but posted an apology to the singer:
Due to the disdain of the BeyHive, we have removed the photos. We don’t want to cause any drama, nor do we wish to start fan wars. Some of the things we have seen posted were just horrible, and we don’t want any parts of it. We were just posting the photos to share the fact that our queen is naturally beautiful, at the same time she is just a regular woman.
The images show Beyonce pre-photoshop, modelling a strong red-lip and charcoal eye-shadow.
Despite some online comments emerging about the star’s skin, we happen to think the singer still rocks her signature Flawless looks (and could easily put us to shame).
