00:00I'd like to say that my nipples are like berries, you know, and the black or the berry, the sweet
00:03or the juice.
00:04Hey guys, my name is Katie.
00:05Hey, my name is Eva.
00:06Hi, my name is Yumi.
00:08It's me, Empress.
00:09Hey guys, my name is Claire, and today I'm going to swatch the color of my nipple to see if
00:14I can find the perfect nude lipstick.
00:16So according to a male doctor on the TV show Doctors, if you match the color of your nipple to
00:21a shade of lipstick,
00:22it's supposedly going to be your perfect shade of nude.
00:25So today, we're going to test that out and see if he's really right.
00:28In terms of actual lipstick, I'm interested to see how that will turn out because pinky, rosy colors don't always
00:34look great on me.
00:36I really like androgynous makeup, so nude lipstick is cool when I'm trying to go for that look,
00:41but otherwise, I don't believe in nude, especially for folks with melanin, so.
00:44If I want a natural look, I'll just put on lip gloss, and that's a nude lip, okay?
00:48I don't think it's going to work for everybody, but I also want to test it out.
00:52We'll see how it goes.
00:53On me, who knows?
00:56What?
01:00Ooh, I have so many options.
01:03All right.
01:06My nipples are...
01:08I mean, I'm pale, but I don't know if I'm that pale.
01:11Maybe like a cocoa brown, you know?
01:14My nips are dark, so I'm going to like just get rid of these ones.
01:18Oh, yeah, no, that's not going to work.
01:20Mm-mm.
01:22You know, I don't know if I'm bubblegum pink, but I guess it's worth a try.
01:28Brown velvet, ooh.
01:32It's a match.
01:33My shade is Passion Fruit Punch.
01:36I am here for Passion Fruit Punch being my nipple shade.
01:40I feel like this one.
01:41It is called Rio Rust.
01:43Oh, no, hot chili.
01:44Hot chili's the winner.
01:46Hot chili.
01:46This looks like a very warm and inviting color, and that's how I would describe my nipples.
01:53These are my rusty nipple colors.
01:55The one in the middle here is the perfect shade to my nipple.
01:59Here is a shade a little lighter, and this one is a little darker.
02:04I'm starting with the exact match first.
02:06I wonder who like on their marketing team was like, let's call this Flesh Pot.
02:10Oh, it's pretty.
02:12Look at it.
02:13This one is my perfect shade.
02:15This is the shade that matches my hot chili nipples.
02:18The exact match looks a little light.
02:21We're going to see how it works out for me.
02:32This is really neat.
02:34Where my lips go.
02:36I don't hate it, but I don't love it.
02:38I look terrifying.
02:41Oh, it's so cute.
02:43I like it.
02:44Oh, I love this.
02:45Okay.
02:46I'm here for it.
02:47Now that I look at it, it's not too shabby.
02:49I'm kind of into it, actually.
02:50Maybe Flesh Pot is my perfect shade.
02:54As it's drying down, it looks a little better, but it's a pretty good skin tone match, which
02:59for lip color seems like something I don't want because I actually want to show my lips.
03:04Yeah, I'm not feeling it.
03:05I look like it's Valentine's Day and I just like ate a box of chocolates and it stayed on
03:11my mouth.
03:12For me, this color is not a nude, but it matches my nipple exactly.
03:16And I love it.
03:16I would wear this every day.
03:18This is a winner so far.
03:19I actually really like this lip.
03:21This is really a nude lip.
03:23And I've never seen my lips like this before and I love it.
03:26Maybe the doctor is onto something.
03:28Maybe.
03:29But let's see.
03:29Let's see.
03:30So next up, I'm going to try the shade that is a little lighter than my Passion Fruit
03:35nip.
03:36Oh, the dread one.
03:39Why is that the name?
03:41Not feeling great about the lighter shade just because I think that if this one washed me
03:47out, this one is going to look ridiculous.
03:49Oh, it's so pretty.
03:50All right.
03:55I'm not liking this.
03:56Mm-mm.
03:57Yeah, no, I'm not feeling this.
03:59This was like Pepto-Bismol.
04:00Somebody vomited up after a long night.
04:02I am a corpse.
04:06Maybe I'm just like not a brown nudes person.
04:10It's better than this one, though, I think.
04:13This one just was really, really pale and washed me out.
04:16And this one has like a little bit more of something to it.
04:20I feel like it looked like one of those things that would be in that movie It.
04:23Nah, not digging it.
04:24And instead of like having a melting face, it's just like a face with no other colors.
04:30It doesn't look like I have anything on, but it's nice.
04:33Man, it's only getting better.
04:35All right, so now we're trying one shade darker.
04:38So already this looks like something that I'd wear.
04:41So I tried my Perfect Nipple shade and I tried one shade lighter.
04:45And both of those didn't really do it for me.
04:47So I'm going to try the one shade darker and see if that works.
04:56I kind of did a bad job, but I kind of like this one.
05:00Oh, this is my favorite.
05:02I am in love with this shade.
05:04It's honestly, it's perfect.
05:07It's like vampy and kind of like you can do this in the daytime.
05:11You can switch it to the night.
05:12It's almost the natural color of my lips.
05:20It's smooth.
05:21It went on real nice.
05:23It tastes like eucalyptus.
05:25It feels great.
05:26I think it looks good.
05:27It's better than the other two because at least I have lips again.
05:32But personally, I just feel like I look better in cooler, darker colors.
05:37This is a beautiful color.
05:39It is so rich.
05:40It makes me happy to just wear this brown on my brown skin.
05:44It's delicious.
05:45So we tried all three colors.
05:47The original theory is that if you match your exact nipple color to your lipstick,
05:54you will get the perfect nude shade.
05:56I just realized that I feel like I don't know what a nude lipstick is.
06:00It just hit me.
06:02Nude should honestly be people's skin tone.
06:05When I imagine a nude lipstick, I like picture a white girl and I like think of pinks.
06:11In my mind, I'm thinking this isn't nude because it's brown, but it's like I'm brown.
06:17That's nude.
06:17Duh.
06:18Media's got me too, guys.
06:19I definitely feel like I've been conditioned to like think about nude in a certain way.
06:24So maybe like this color works for me and I just don't know it.
06:29The doctor is right.
06:31He must have looked at a lot of nipples in his day.
06:34Dear doctor, stop trying to tell people what to put on their lips.
06:38Dear doctor, just because something matches your skin tone like perfectly doesn't mean it
06:44actually works for your face.
06:45Dear doctor, this is a fun project and a fun experiment, especially for someone like me
06:50who's never dried my nipple shades.
06:53But I definitely think finding a perfect nude is personal to each person and everybody's shades
07:00are different, everybody's nipples are different.
07:02So I don't think you can say that nature knows best and everybody's perfect shade is going
07:09to be their nipple color.
07:10Dear doctor, I tried out your method.
07:12I really wanted to prove you wrong.
07:14If I were you, I would tell people that your nipple color is not the perfect shade, but
07:20it's the shade darker than your nipple color that is perfect for you.
07:25Dear doctor, I want to tell you that you have done a great job.
07:29I've found my perfect shade.
07:30God bless you and God bless all the nipples that you've seen.
07:33Thank you, doctor, for your theory.
07:34Had lots of fun testing it out.
07:36And we'll catch you guys next time.
07:38Thanks for watching.
