What do you use skin coloured paint for?

Hey i see a lot of skin tone colour pallettes around. I was just wondering when people would use these paints. Like how and for what?
i find it strange to have to paint skin colour!

I use it as a zombie base color and for shadows.

for people and babies, shadow, dogs, natural looking leopard, mixing the lightest colour with lightgreenfor that really unhealthy colour!

I suppose a person could make themselves a different race for the day. I'm a lighter skinned Native...always wondered what it would be like to go out very dark skinned like Grandfather.

fairy faces and arms

Chimpanzee. Brady Neher does cool cartoon faces with them. I've seen superhero type eye designs from the Wolfe Brothers.

black kids who wanna be white...hehe (seriously)--goes good for doll face bases too...

I'm gonna pretend like I didn't read that comment. I use skin tone colors to paint dora, a fairy, super mario, etc.

Anything zombie

Smoothdansa, agreed

i have a very simple kit ( regular colurs and pearl white, rose, purple and teal) would the pallette be something i needed? or would i I be able to get away with just having one such as the middle toned skin colour( see it against lighter and darker skins)?

To me personally i dont even see skin colour because i live in such a diverse city, i see manners and politeness.

And suzy i love that money, do you mind if i use it...somehow... I think i just found my need to buy a flesh tone haha

Ask yourself if it would still seem racist if it were said the other way around.

Skin tone paints are perfect for covering up tattoos too.

I dont think that was racist. Kids ask to be painted all sorts of things and we dont need to vilify anyone for saying so.
