I don't remember if I did much to neutralize my Kameko but I do know that I ended up doing a warming wash or two later on.

Thanks Kathy... My husband looked at the baby with the eyes in and he thought you could see a bit of the white so they looked ok... I am just gonna start on her tomorrow and see how the coloring goes...my customer wants a darker skin baby but not an AA color....It will be interesting to see if I can rise up to the challenge of figuring out what I need to do to get the colors right... hummmmm... might be back on the forum tomorrow sometime for advise... Thanks!! Connie

Flesh 06 will give you a darker caucasian color or an olive complexion. I used chocolate brown eyes but I believe I swiped them for another doll that I sold so poor Kameko is in pieces with no eyes.

Subject: want to DARKEN my skintone Sun 29 Jan 2012 - 1:56
I am following the Asian tutorial and I am at the step for creases and blushing... I just did two layers of the flesh 5 and I want this baby much much darker color... what do I need to make this happen.... dark being almost close to a light shade for an AA baby... really suntanned coloring.... I really don't know what to do to achieve this... Here are some pictures... I like the baby just as she is but the customer wants the baby dark skinned...(suntanned) thanks!!!!

Connie, do a warming wash on her. 1/2 tbs thinner, brush burnt umber, touch raw sienna(or yellow ochre) and touch red 02

I really love your skin coloring (undertones and mottling are TDF) I wasn't into buying any asian kits but yours look amazing. I'm Italian and love the yellow darker tint on my skin.
If I may ask Which color was the kit to begin with? I'm planning to buy Lara's asian ebook and few kits from BB but I'm wondering if there is a color choice. I bought 4 kits last months during dicember sale and 1 came grey (which I love) , and the other 3 were dark purple pink (which I don't wish to buy anymore I JUST CAN'T NEUTRALIZE).
