Rethinking "nude" as a colour with Anita Bhagwandas and Ade Hassan

As people of colour (or actually people in general) we are taught about the concept of nude as one homogenous colour - falling somewhere on the spectrum between peach and beige.The style media tells us that a nude court shoe will elongate our legs, a nude lip is a must have, wear nude underwear under white clothing, nude tights will keep you warm without ruining your overall look, but when the shades aren’t there, where does that leave people of colour?This is something we all face from a young age – felt tips and crayons at school, plasters, ballet slippers. We want to unpack and challenge the concept of nude as a colour and the exclusionary effects that it has on women of colour as they navigate through their journey of self expression.Exploring the various different tones of black and brown skin and the need for true representation for all shades, while discussing our never-ending search for the perfect nude lip.Unpretty Podcast https://www.instagram.com/unprettypodcast/ https://twitter.com/unprettypodcast Anita Bhagwandas https://www.instagram.com/itsmeanitab https://www.stylist.co.uk/beauty/the-changing-face-of-beauty/132781 Ade Hassan, MBEhttps://www.instagram.com/itsadehassan https://www.instagram.com/nubianskin nubianskin.com Hosted on Acast.
