Advice on painting figures

Sorry if this has been asked before but here goes… I am terrible at painting figures but I have vowed to try to improve at them. I have a couple of half figures for a armor project I am working and I am pleased with the paint job on the uniforms but I need advice on how to paint the face / hands… is there a particular color I should use, preferebly straight out of the bottle? Any advice is deeply appreciated…

Thanks and Happy Modeling…
