5. Light Skin Tones
My two light skin tones are peach and rosy:
I use about 4 pencils for this. Before, we could use our base and our mid-tone as one colour but this time they’re 2 different colours:
- Apply your base colour - Lightly apply your base, which could be a salmon pink or light pink for example.
- Shade with your mid-tone - Use your mid-tone (A different shade of pink/salmon in my case) as your temporary shadow. This establishes where the mid-tone will go and your main shadow.
- Apply your base again - I’d recommend you do this each time you add the other colours. This keeps your overall skin tone consistent.
- Apply your shadow - Use a darker shade of your base as your shadow. Again, this keeps the overall skin tone consistent.
- Re-apply previous colours - This makes sure each colour has been applied evenly and equally.
- Blend with white pencil - Removes patchiness and should give you a smooth look.
