Advice for lip color and other skin areas

[RogaDanar]

Hi everyone, I'm painting some hill giants and I'm looking for some advice on lip color and male nipple color. I am using MSP tan skin paint plus shadow and highlight for the skin but have army painter for the rest of my paint. I have enclosed a close up pic of a sample figure but I'm not sure how to do lips and the nipple area. I should share that I have a slight color deficiency in my eyes (I can see colors just fine, but shades of red and brown can confuse me a bit) so really specific color recommendations are welcome if not preferred. Thanks in advance.

Use your shadow color.  Maybe the faintest touch of a red mixed with it.   A bit of brown glaze, such as that used on the ear in the above pic would work on the chest as well. 

 

I suggest looking up some photos of male models for examples of how much contrast you want, and where to put highlights on the lip.

Reaper Rosy Skin Shadow will also be a possibility

Thank you both for the help.

Both of those suggestions sound good and I have more than one model to try it on so I can try both. I knew I had done too much in the above figure but wasn't sure how to fix it. 

 

Edit: Note to self, do not look up shirtless male models on Google images while at work. NSFW 😉

I use an Andrea paint (from skin paint set) that is a brown-reddish for caucasian deeper skin areas, lips, etc. It is like a Reaper 9071 Chestnut brown, with a bit more mahogany red in it.

I always go with the base color of the skin with touches up to the mid tone only.
