Skin tones and low light

[Thomas Singh]

It would be great to hear how you deal with skin tones in dark environments. With tungsten light the hue could be too red and in those situations I find it difficult to correct as red or dark orange skin can feel grey and lifeless with redused warmth. I find that lifting the highlights before doing the corrections could help some, but it doesn't always gives satifying results. 

I understand that DoP's can shoot dark for a reason but that doesn't help when the director is sitting next to me asking me to make the skin look good.
