'complexions' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'broke individuals?' is the wordplay.
'broke' becomes 'skint' (both can mean struggling financially).
'individuals?' becomes 'ones' (one can mean an individual person or thing).
'skint'+'ones'='SKINTONES'

'of' is the link.
