Transcript

Oh Melissa. Melissa. Melissa. Melissa looks a mess. I can tell that Melissa's foundation color doesn't match her skin from the nose bleed section. Melissa needs to fire her spray tan technician. Are you Hispanic? Do you know why I'm asking that question? Oh. Because you're very tan. You look like barbecue chicken. Your face is too pale and your hair color is washing you out. Are you colorblind? No ma'am. You've been clearly color matching in the dark. The beauty standards are like an alien. And here, it's angelic beauty queen, not hot sauce night demon. Yes ma'am. I'm so sorry about that. I'm looking forward to makeover day. That is if you make it to makeover day. All right. Yes ma'am. All right. See you tomorrow.
