awickedscent Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I use liquid colors and I need help getting a skin or flesh color. Any suggestions? I keep getting my color a little to red or pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRC06301983 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 you could run with the red or pink and call your candles...."sunburn"yeah I know, that was horrible...I'll just go back and make more candles now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativegems Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I think a tiny bit of brown and add even a tinier bit of pink should do the trick.Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmejeffd Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I know BCS has a Peach liquid dye. I don't have that one yet but most of my liqid dyes are from them and I like them alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Possibly add just a touch of orange or brown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you might also be okay with a little brown (or maybe Honey-Vanilla) and a touch of red, like Janet mentioned. Good luck, seems like that is a hard color to get.

Molly Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I've gotten a pretty decent flesh color using a little bit of brown and a little bit more yellow. Doesn't sound like it, I know, but the little bit of brown makes a pinkish color and the yellow cuts the pinkness a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 How about a little bit of coral and a little bit of yellow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awickedscent Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 What a PITB trying to get the color I want. I think I finally have it. It is diluted in 5lbs of wax with one drop of red and three of ivory. I think I may need to tweak it some more but this is the closest I think I am going to get. Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I made some Butt Naked tarts and came up with a terrific flesh color by starting with ivory and adding teeny-tiny shaving of brown, added some vybar and it looked like the butt of a newborn baby.

valleygrls98 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Yellow would neutralize the red did you try that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
