- (groans) It's driving me crazy.
- I never have under boob.
- I am over-caffeinated and over excited.
- I look like a naked mole rat.
- My plan B is confidence.
(upbeat music)
Hello, my name is Lindsay.
I would describe my style as very kind of Y2K colorful.
I don't think I've ever worn nude.
I've been nude,
that's the closest I've been to nude outfits.
- The thought of wearing a nude monochromatic outfit,
kinda makes me nervous because I've seen people who do that
and they look naked.
Growing up with my skin tone, nude was never included.
So when I heard nude,
I would always think about more like peachy colored flesh.
- I feel like the word nude is very subjective.
There's so many different tones of nude.
Colorism is such a huge issue,
especially in the Philippines
and I definitely faced it growing up.
- So my goal for this week is to find something
that is very over the top but also really subtle.
And that makes no sense,
but just roll with me here.
- I caught myself generally avoiding neutral tones.
I don't know why.
I do wear a neutral tone,
but I usually will pair that with a bold burst of color.
- Nude, it's a word that doesn't really exist
in my universe.
I don't do nude makeup,
I don't own anything nude,
but I'm really excited
because that means I get to try something
I've never tried before.
Crayons, I remember when the mega box came out
that had all the skin tones
and I was so excited 'cause I was like, finally (cheers).
- I've never had to deal with nude not matching my skin tone
because I'm white and I'm in the realm
of what, for some reason,
corporations think nude looks like,
which is B.S.
- The word nude definitely has not always included people
with darker skin tones, but it does now
because now they make a bunch of stuff
for people with all types of skin tones and shades.
It's amazing.
So the rules for the week are,
it must all match my skin tone with the exception of shoes.
- Funny enough though, I do have a nude pair of shoes
so I will match that.
- Must have one accessory that matches your skin tone.
- Let's get Shopping.
(delightful music)
- My goals are to shop from a small business
because I don't want to buy anything off of Amazon.
There is this one store that I have in mind
and it's called the Yellow The Label.
- Even if I only get to get one thing from a small business,
I'll feel good about that.
- [Mabel] All right, so let's refine our search,
so let's go with beige, brown, nude.
- I would love to channel like Foxy Brown.
Yeah, that's my vibe.
I wanna be Foxy AF.
- [Janna] Actually, I'm very curious.
What does it say when it says nude?
It seems that nude is like on the lighter side
on this website.
- [Lindsay] These are a little bit darker.
They look darker on camera than they are in real life.
I think they're more khaki.
I have a lot of just like cute little tops.
Also just like a little bit of throws.
- [Mabel] Very Kim K vibes.
It's very not Mabel vibes.
- You know what?
Let's do brown pattern dress.
Some of these are cute
but like I already know I'm wearing thigh high
or like over the knee boots.
So I want a dress that still shows a little bit of skin.
- [Janna] Definitely looks a little more casual
and it still has the poofy sleeves, also comes with a belt.
I think it'll match my skin tone
so we're gonna go with it.
Add to cart.
- Oh! Like this.
Yeah.
Kind of matches my skin tone.
- [Mabel] All right, so here's the selection I've made
with that nice dark chocolate brown.
It's this wicked bodysuit that I think I can wear
in so many different ways.
- I don't know if I get points off for that bag,
but it's cute and it's in the nude realm and it's dimension.
Otherwise, it all just looks the same.
I'll see you when it gets here.
- Hi.
Okay, so I just got my package
and I am very excited to open it.
(Sakura mumbling)
- Excited.
Wow! Look at all these tones I never wear.
- [Destiny] Leroy, please up.
Please, please.
It looked a little bit more tan online
if you see my skin tone.
We are not quite there, but that's okay.
- I think I match it perfectly.
Okay, maybe not in the light.
- Oh! Wait.
This is like close-ish.
I'm gonna put on makeup and put on the outfit
and then we'll see how it goes.
(delightful music)
Oh my God! Y'all.
I love it so much, y'all.
I have the bag and then the dress with the belt.
The belt, I feel like I could do away with
but we'll keep it on for now.
I wanted to do gold jewelry
so I just have like a star necklace here
and then of course, I have my earrings,
my safety pin earrings that are gold from best dressed.
I mean, come on.
I love it so much.
(electrifying music)
- I think I just transformed myself
into a Brats Doll and I am here for it.
Y'all, is she a baddie or what?
Like, I am so obsessed with this entire look.
Oh my goodness! Get into it.
(door banging)
My look definitely pays homage to the 1970s black actresses,
like Pam Greer and Foxy Brown.
This whole look is brown
and I believe it's my skin tone perfectly
but it also has a little bit of oomph
because of the snakeskin print.
And then I have my brown purse, which is not mine,
it's actually my mom's and I just kind of took it
'cause it matched the outfit.
Yes.
(electrifying music)
- Okay, so I think I've made an error.
Not only did I not match my own skin tone,
which this top, yes.
Everything else, no.
I've completely failed this challenge
but this bag is everything.
Like (whines).
I've paired it with some gold jewelry
and I tied my hair back.
I have a brown scrunchie back there.
Then I did some nice brown golden makeup,
which I never do.
These pants are really cute.
They're really big but I kinda like that they hang.
I just don't know if it delivered
as nicely as I wanted it to,
but I am proud of the pieces I got.
I think they're adorable.
However, this has kind of inspired me
to go a little bit more into the brown tones
but when all else fails, confidence, baby.
(upbeat music)
- Hello.
How cute am I?
Am I cute?
That's right.
I feel really cute.
I actually really like this outfit.
I think it's so sleek, it's sexy, it's pretty,
it's just really like delicate and soft.
I love those clear shoes.
They're clear, they go with anything
and I don't think that this matches my skin tone exactly
But I am grateful that there are more color options
when it comes to wearing nude.
- Okay, here's look one.
Hello.
I just feel really like spacey.
Like, I'm going to be practicing on a space station
and this is my jumpsuit.
I went with these red flame glasses.
Put my hair up for this.
My belt, some bling bling.
Cute eyeball bag.
Aways in a boot.
I really, really, really like this a lot.
(upbeat music)
- (grunts) What do you think?
I look so cute.
Do you see this?
This is probably the closest thing I own to my skin tone.
For makeup, I decided to do a thin line
and you can kind of see it on both eyes
but I want to kind of stick it to being simple
and kind of stay true to the nature of the fit.
I cannot wait to pose with this
and get some glamour shots outside.

- Cute as I feel in this outfit,
I'd rather be wearing bold bursts of color.
- I've never felt so confident and so beautiful
wearing my skin tone as my color palette.
- I feel very proud to have melanin and to be tan.
- I love it.
I definitely could see myself wearing nude more often.
- I think this just proves how difficult
nude clothing is to style.
- I'm so excited.
This confidence has just come out of nowhere.
As an alien clown,
nudes were never my first choice, but now,
they're an option.
