What do you use skin coloured paint for?

Wow! This thread went odd and a bit out dated with white and black comments...really we are all a rainbow of beautiful beige and browns

Just wanted to say that I purchased the skin color TAG and got it this week. I'm going to use it for a big zombie gig for my husbands department at the hospital

I tried using a light brown on a tan caucasian and it didn't show up This split is going to help me out with this kind of situation in the future! Yay!!!

I use the skin tones for all sorts of things, from fur, to zombies & vampires. It can be used in theatrical for evening out skin tones or covering up tattoos.

On a side note, last weekend I had a little boy w/ very dark skin in a vampire costume sit in my chair & say, "I want to be painted all white!" I asked if he wanted to look like a vampire & he said yes. I then asked if he wanted to look like a "real' vampire or a "fake" one since White would make him look very fake. he said real. I used my tag flesh tones & paradise dark brown w/ some grey & black & made him look like a creepy vampire, but a dark skinned undead. he was so thrilled
I love all these colors & use them a lot!

Just used the TAG skin tone for a mummy

Oh, Linda, I'd love to see your dark skinned vampire! Did you get a pic?

I used it for doll/broken doll faces all Halloween season.

No, I didn't get a pic I was in marathon painting mode & he was gone before I could get the shot. I need to be better w/ this 'cause even when parents do send me photos they often are taken poorly & I can't use them.

Ok - you all have convinced me to get some skin-colored paint after seeing how I can use it! Thanks for the thread!
