Testor's light tan. Just a very thin line. Don't forget to add the part.

Dark brown, I think black would be too dark to look natural.

I use brown watercolors. They're cheap and have lasted two years, now. Probably still have enough left for 50 more figures. I also use the to add shadows to the eyes and hands.

I usually mix a VERY small amount of Tamiya Red-Brown to flesh - and don't forget; the upper lip is darker than the lower.
