What brands/types of paint work well for painting skin tones. I've never tried to paint skin tone before but plan to paint an ARAH Hit & Run face soon.
Can anyone guide me towards a good paint brand or type of acrylic that I coud use? Thank you in advance!

Citadel skin tones are amazing.
You can find stuff in Model Masters and Tamiya also, but Citadel has some great flesh colors.

If you're on a budget, try Plaid acrylic paints from your local Walmart. Flesh and Burnt Sienna can be mixed to make most natural skintones.

Citadel and testors are great. I use the testors flesh as a base then mix in the citadel tones for matching.

I've found model masters acryl with a little alcohol works the best because it helps stick to the plastic in my opinion. Flesh tones always have a tendency of gumming up around joints if you're not careful

I think there is not an exact match for the 80s ARAH skin tone. But part of the fun is mixing several shades until you get it.

I like to use Tamiya Flesh, with some flat white mixed in.
