I would like to switch from using Lifetone Lacquer paints to Wildlife Colors water based paints but I'm having some difficulties finding the correct colors for painting the eyes. I'm thinking for going with the Milk Chocolate for my final top coat around the eyes but I'm interested in some input. Have any of you used the water based paints from Wildlife Colors and if so what colors did you find that worked well for around the eyes.

I have used milk chocolate, chocolate, and burnt umber. You will also need to add some gloss flattener and thinner, and possibly some retarder.
I use flesh tone in the tear ducts then mars brown to soften. Mars brown, milk chocolate, then lightly finish with raw umber around the lids.
