Whats the best mixture of oil paint to recreate skin tones?

i always have difficulty when painting skin tones it never seems perfect . i know shade and light will affect the tone but i need a good base to begin withWhats the best mixture of oil paint to recreate skin tones?
Try the following pigment combinations. They will give you a good range of different compatible tones to work with, although you may want to add other pigments for shadows, highlights ect. I work in acrylics but the pigments are the same.





For light to medium complexions, try rose red, raw sienna and titanium white.





For dark or very warm skin tones, try indian red, raw sienna, and titanium white. Notice that you can get the cooler hues of dark skin by using more indian red and less raw sienna.





By the way indian red is so called because it's made in india. I hope you notice that no human being really has red or yellow skin. All races have pretty similar skin tones, just lighter or darker, and just slightly cooler or warmer.Whats the best mixture of oil paint to recreate skin tones?
It probably depends on what skin tone you're trying to paint as people aren't really that similar in shade and whether it's a mainly a warm or cool colored painting.
