TIP: To achieve the light pink color I add a drop of pink gel color (actually half drop because it needs a really small quantity) to the skin tone modelling paste.
To achieve the brick color I add a bit of white sugar paste to the brown, then I put a drop of red gel color and a drop of orange (the proportion depends if you want a color tending to the red or to the orange)
