Well, when we see our own skin , well as a pale skinned person?, there is always a blue/cool cast usually form the blue of veins and then over the the flush pinks and warm oranges just blend to give that feeling of flushed skin over cool blue veins, haha. Just how I've always done it, of course I remember studying klimt figures and such in classes and starting with white blobs to try and build up faces.

I do not have pale skin XD
It's also not really something I've noticed with the pale skinned people that I do know (may have to look more carefully at the really pale ones) but it could be anything from environmental lighting to the fact my eyes are a bit odd.
I usually have the base skin colour when doing flats and then drop a blue overlay and a red overlay on top and then adjust those until the colour "looks right" and then there's more layers on top for shading. This is doing digital though, the only time I've done any appreciable amount of analogue painting was when I was doing art in high school ^_^;
