Love these..
Love the thickness of these pencils, so easy to hold with arthritic hands. The hexagonal shape helps to hold them, too and they don't roll around. Make sure to buy a large-hole sharpener. They come already sharpened. The wood on these smells amazing as you draw....my kittens are attracted to them. It's hard to color a light person's skin color with this set, it's more towards med-dark skin tones. The two light colors make the skin flat looking so look to add another of your other pencils to help, a light pink, light blue may help. These are amazing for hair color, you get a large selection to choose from. They also are amazing for landscape colors - I found myself grabbing these for trees and low-lights. The pencils are soft and don't take a lot of pressure to lay down color. These have been my new gp-to pencils for general coloring of landscape/people/animals...perfect earthen colors.

great for coloring faces and skin
These pencils are thicker than average color pencils, but I have yet to pop a "lead" in one while coloring. They are a lovely selection of skin tones, which allows me to illustrate more ethnicities than "pale flesh" and "mahogany" lol. I'm a homeschooler, so accuracy is important to me. The colors that can be used for the peoples of ancient Greece are not the same as the colors needed for ancient China. This set gives us plenty of variety, and as I mentioned, is very durable. I can easily recommend this set both for the quality of the physical construction and for the quality of the color mix included.

The Perfect Shortcut
If there's one thing even many experienced artists agree on- it's the idea that getting the flesh tone to look just right for any given drawing is no easy task sometimes, and can make or break your work. That is where this set of thick pencils comes in. Instead of having to pick a base of your own and blend countless layers for a realistic look-these pencils already include many different skin colors. They can be used in any number of ways, as is and just filled in, mixed with one another and blended in....or used as a base with other colors and lightened darkened or highlighted to get just the look you need. They can also be used for landscape work- different shades for outdoor settings- even though they are termed a 'skin tone' set. So since they have multiple uses and ease the stress of doing portraits too, at the price they are well worth adding to your palate of colored pencils. They mix smoothly and easily and also layer quite well. You wont be disappointed.

Depends on what you want them for and what you expect.
If you're a colorist and want to do simple complexions, layering 3 colors (midtone, highlight, shadow) these will expand your range of browns for darker (African, Melanesian, South Asian) people. As several others have stated, the set is less useful if you want to concentrate on northern European Caucasian types. It has the same peach tone that you'll find in every coloring pencil set and a beige, but there's nothing like a cream for highlights on very fair people and none of the colors have much pink in them. If you want to do portraits, you'll need a whole lot of other colors, this set could merely be a supplement. Not only are there no colors suitable for eyes, hair, lips and makeup, but there's nothing for undertones (purples and greens for very dark-skinned people, light greens and violets for fair-skinned, etc.). It's also very lacking in yellows and ochres for the olive-skinned (and just generally warm toned people). I compared it with my 150 set prismacolor. Besides the peach and beige mentioned above, I found colors comparable to Sienna Brown, Sandbar Brown, French Gray 90% and Chocolate. There was something similar to Nectar and something similar to Burnt Ochre (but less exact). The rest of the colors (6 of them) are browns that Prismacolor doesn't have (but Prismacolor has a lot of browns this set doesn't have). So it could be a kind of supplement. If you want a Portrait set, Koh-i-Noor has a very good one; Caran d'Ache Luminance has come out with one (but this is very expensive and more of a supplement to the existing Luminance which are definitely professional artists' pencils); and Derwent has a surprisingly versatile set of 6, which really is able to do a huge range of skin colors (though you have to mix). That one, again, won't handle blue and green eyes or red or black hair though. Checking out the tutorial is worthwhile even if you don't buy the set. The pencils are enormous--they can be sharpened with the two hole KUM sharpener manually. Whether you like such big pencils is of course a matter of taste. They need to be applied with a very light touch if you a like a lot of layers--I haven't been able to get many layers on Strathmore Bristol Vellum, and burnishing seems like its a terrible idea with these. They get more layers when you keep them sharp. They have a great deal of pigment. I looked up the lightfastness information and they are lightfast (though even in Prismacolor, these kind of earthtones are the more lightfast pencils). These pencils seem targeted towards elementary school children from the way they are packaged (flimsy cardboard box similar to Crayola pencils) and from the illustrations on the box itself. I'm actually not sure how they would work out for kids--they'd have a somewhat larger selection of different brown pencils than is available in most kids' colored pencil sets, but is that what really makes people look like they are from a particular ethnic group? Finding the 'right' shade of brown? That seems like a problematic idea even if you are teaching social studies, one that short-cuts observation--and it's really disastrous for an art class, even in kindergarten (how many people never outgrow the idea that the sky is blue, trees are green, etc. etc.)

LYRA colored pencil fan!!
These Lyra colored pencils are probably some of the best quality pencils around! The "lead" cores are just perfect--silky smooth feeling as they slide across the paper. My kids don't have to press super hard to get a nice rich color on their papers. That's something that always bugged me about the "cheaper" brands. My hands grow tired when I am doing even an average amount of writing or drawing with colored pencils because I have to press so hard to get any color. If they make my hands tire, imagine my young kiddos!! Not so with these! I love them and now my kids are more interested in coloring than they used to be. I bought these based on reviews and I'm not sorry I spent the extra money for the better brand. I bought the Skin Tone ones because usually a basic set of colors is lacking in the choices for this "area" of colors. Since kids draw people a lot, it makes sense to have good choices for that. I remember as a kid I was stuck using brown or yellow or tan for drawing faces and hands, and NONE of them really fit for ANYONE regardless of their skin color. Although I can't really give an educated review of the actual colors provided I will say that now we have more choices for coloring people now! Yay! I can also attest to the wonderful quality of all the LYRA colored pencils!! I'm a fan!
