yeh did it. instead of keeping the same set of colors I added even a lighter one. I tried the shades you suggested me but felt like too much fatty face, so I decided to use the light color to show the face structure (aka skull/jaw). I could have used the 18 colors like before but it seemd to darkening the skin tone, instead I prefer to concentrate the attention on the face giving her a smooth face, hence gradients.
thanks Vertigo: I've updated it with one more color for the skin tone. You are right but cause of the too much time I've been working on this I've been missing these things ;) Hope this edit will improve it giving her face a more round look ;)
