I mainly use starbrite pigments and was wondeirng if any knew of a good skin tone pigment to use as all that starbrite really has is buckskin and ventian which are a little too brown for my taste.

Starbrite makes a skin tone color. Relying on any skin tone for skin tones is a recipe for disaster though. Skin will have everything from purples and olive...to reds and blues in it. It's all about the lighting.

Try white with a few drops of orange in it, makes a great skin tone.

dip and mix, i'll usually lay out 5 or 6 caps with just white in them along with my 3 browns, a purple, blue, orange, red to mix colors up on the spot, i'll rarely mix them in the cap beforehand.
