I like to use the Tattoo Palettes in skin tones. By hand or airbrush begin to use the product in light sweeping layers drying in between each layer. Use an undertone shade that is close to the undertones of the darker skin tone but a few shades lighter. For example yellows, rose, or green. This step will start the natural connection between the light areas and the dark. My favorite products for this step is: Temptu Dura Palette Skin Light ,Temptu Dura Palette Skin Dark, Skin Illustrator Complexion, Skin Illustrator Dark Fleshtones, and Light Fleshtones.
