I'm working on a white skin head and the blushing seems to be a pain in my butt. So I was wondering if I should use a brown to make it look more realistic. I'm currently using a very light pink to blush her...but it doesn't really show up in photos. Perhaps maybe even help with blushing her body as well!!!

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

even if you use a dark color, once it's on the white skin, it will show up as paler.

If you're up for experimenting, try colors that are darker pinks/reds that aren't too bright/saturated with color. I've had success doing that before. You can also layer the colors, put one color, a layer of spray, then another color. Browns can work as a layer too to tone down a color that is bright.

On white skin I usually suggest a peachy color, pink some times can end up looking like a rash or burn, I would try adding some peach in to it and it can help warm it up.

Yeah this. Smile

Also, like Kiyono said, layers are best. It won't look like it shows up at first, but do a few layers and you will get a much more dimensional look.
