I am wondering what color if any you use to bring out the light brown on a bears snout and the little around his eyes.

On most bears with good hair I use dark brown,which matches the skin color-not the hair.If I have one with sparse hair and want to "help" those areas that you refer to,I use Lifetone's Buckskin Tan.It is a fleshy-tan color.Hope that helps.
Aaron, That brown color can vary a bit. My feeling is to go easy with the paint, thin it down and get just enough color so as not to LOOK painted. If dark brown seems too dark you can add a touch of rich brown to lighten the shade but laying on the color in thin layers will help tint the skin but not overdo it. Enjoy, Aaron H.
