- cognac just never disappoints, okay? (laughter) (catwalk music) - makeup has been an interesting journey. i'm always picking, like,the second to last shade
the best hair color for black women, and i am nowhere near thedarkest kind of black woman. - like i just don't wearmakeup because i can't find a shade. - and because your skin's fucking perfect.
- which, whatever. - it hasn't been that bad but i feel like that's only because i kind-ofstick to pricier makeup. - of course you do. 'cause she's fancy. - i go in between this, like, "i'm not light enoughbut i'm not dark enough." - i am that girl thatwill open a package at cvs and be like, "oops."
just see security like.. (nervous laughter) - going to school in newhampshire, growing up in orange county, you weren'tgonna see that at cvs, ever. - right in the middleof, you know, manhattan and you go into a drugstore, they may not have your shade there. - but if you come to harlem. - but if you go to harlem or brooklyn.
what up! - they got your shade.- they got you. - oh "chocolate honey". gotta love the names, guys, really. how many ways can we say"multi-cultural" by kanye west. - oh it's "coffee crave". - ew. - this is called, "cognac". - you know what, at thatpoint, they might as well
call it "hennessy". - wait, i don't know ifi should be offended. - a little bit. - but also true. - they're not like,"nude", "bare", "buff". it's like, "chocolate" and black girls just have to use it as a nude because they don't makea nude for you, boo. - this is pretty, it's a pretty pink.
i think it would make me look ashy and it's definitely not a nude for me. - i don't know, i feellike if you're much darker than us or even, maybe,like a shade or two darker than us, that a few ofthese aren't gonna work. (sighs) - it's like choosing betweena bunch of fuck boys. - so, i'm going to trybite in the color "cognac". - let me do approval.
oh, then she gave me the face. mm, yes, yes. i like it. that looks really good on you. - i like it, too. it's, like, just really soft and simple, like, real chocolatey. i say good job, bite. - okay, so i'm gonna mix two colors.
i'm gonna start with biteand then i'll try too faced, "melted chocolate". - it doesn't look bad. - i'm not about the nude life. it's not meant for me.- yes, it is. - i'm going marc jacobs 'causei think i'm bougie today. - oh! it's not horrible. it's not horrible by any means.
- it looks like something thati would not put on my lips. - i'ma go "melted honey". oh god. i feel like yours is,like, a pinkish-peachy and this is, like, a... - brownish-peachy. - a toffee. - i think sephora's the winner. that's the first one, right here.
i'm actually into it. i don't know, i'm afraid ofbig colors but also nudes freak me out 'cause i don'twant my lips to look ashy but it looks really good. - mm hmm. - it, like, compliments my skin. - i'm wondering about this marc jacobs. - the last one? - yeah.
- okay, marc jacobs it is. - no.- she's not happy. - 'cause i feel like ifi got anything darker, it's gonna be, like, extreme dark. - maybe you should just try dark. maybe you're just absolutely wrong. - i think that's the only thing i need. i feel like if i go any lighteri'm gonna look washed out. - if you're a woman ofcolor, stick to browns,
even though it's not gonnasay "nude" on the packaging, because it will be your nude. - this is not something i would buy, i'll tell you that much. luckily, we're cute soit's not, like, a terrible situation but like...- i care about you enough to not let you buy that. - and i wouldn't let hergo out in this, either. - i guess it's worth someonetrying this out for theirselves
and seeing what they come upwith, like, giving it a try. getting a variety of nudelipsticks and see if they work?
- i mean we both had different results but i think it's worth trying. - carry my shade. (rhythmic music)
