Skin tone colours

Hi can anybody tell me which are the best colours to use to make different skin tones? My daughter-in-law is a photographer in America and specialises in new born photographic sessions. She wants me to supply her with the sleeping baby on a blanket models so that she can give them as a gift to her customers. A lot of her clients though are Mexican or black and she would ideally like me to replicate the baby’s skintone. Any suggestions please.

Hello Julesmakescakes

I just mix colours together until I get the desired shade, it’s a throw back from my arty days.
However I thought this article might help:

It’s a place to start.
