Default Best skin tone item for stamped images?

I have tried so many different markers/prismas/watercolors etc. and can't find a good one for coloring skin tones on my stamped images. Anyone got a favorite?

E00 is called Skin White. It's for a white person though.

I'm sorry, either I didn't get enough sleep last night or you girls are wayyyy above me here. So what is EOO? I'm also feeling a little punny so I have to say, I'm not actually a White person, I am kinda peachy colored. Big smile! Ugg, maybe I better go take a nap, I get really strange when I don't get enough zzz's. But really, what is EOO? And I do appreciate all you girls willing to help me out here.

You can also try Lyra Skin Tones (pencils). Hobby Lobby carries them.

Tombows are markers and over time they don't dry out as fast as LePlumes. They come in more colors than SU markers. I like them but also use SU markers.

I found a place, Penwa, that has the best price I've ever seen on Tombos but have yet to purchase them. They sell sets and individual markers.

E00 is the number for the color Skin White in Copic markers.

I use Peach and Light Peach Prismacolor pencils for skin tones and add a touch of pink or rose for the cheeks.
