I am looking for a nice "caucasian" flesh tone, I like to buy glass in person so I can see how the light shows, but I will take any info anyone is willing to give. Thank you

I use the plain champagne from spectrum. I don't know the number, but it is more expensive than the wispy. It is like 16.00 for a 12x12 at my local shop. On line you can get it a lot less expensive but you usually have to buy more than 1 piece of glass on line.
When my teacher told me to use the champagne I thought she had lost her mind LOL because it looked almost white to me, but when next to white you can tell the difference and in the light is cast a nice pink flesh color.
If you buy the plain champagne, be sure to keep the color written on it so you don't use it in error

If you have a chance to buy 'in person' look at Champagne in all it's variations - you can get it from cathedral through to opaque. You're sure to find just the tone you want.

Anyone thought that skin tones are actually a range of ambers - from the most pale to very dark, and deep blue black? Rather than pink, yellow, brown?

You right Stephen, however she was looking for the shades that champagne offer

Purely a personal view!!-- One can take a little 'artistic license' with faeries, as they need to look 'right' rather than totally realistic. I find that there is quite a wide variation of tones, from pink,pink to tawny -pink in the champagne streakies. I don't have a lot of choice other than Spectrum here....!!
Good luck with your search, Twan.

Thank you all for your input. I was thinking wispy for some dimension and toward the ivory, but I think I like the champagne idea better, for glass and drinking
