Do NOT use any colors in a glaze that are not absolutely transparent. Also, I cannot imagine getting a skin tone with any of the colors you listed.
For a skin color try a simple glaze of burnt umber first. If you don't like it, wipe it off before it is dry and try something else. Experiment with earth tones first...burnt umber, raw sienna, raw umber.
Be sure and glaze over the entire face...lips and eyes included.
By the way, it is hard to tell from your picture, but the underpainting needs to be done with your paint applied very THICKLY. This looks thin to me. If the underpainting is too "thin" your glazes will not go on smoothly and evenly.
Somewhere on this forum I have demonstrated an underpainting and you can see in the pictures of the process that the paint is THICK.
