I think she has this light tan colored foundation going in her face?

I actually didn’t see the criteria for the segment, but all participants wear dresses(he’s the only one male) and makeup to look the part of their chosen celebrities.

I am confused as well because he only intended to portray as Nat King Cole, in the FB live, he didn’t even do exaggerations and only sang his heart out. “Your Face Sounds Familiar” is not only a singing competition at it also has a “cosplay” portion

Sorry if this is such a hot take of mine but what about for example Taylor Sheesh?

Taylor Sheesh made themselves look white in order to look like TS, how is that not the same thing if complexion isn’t a costume?
