I just discovered the Copic Ciao series markers a few weeks ago. I have hesitated to purchase the regular markers because they are so expensive, and only bought the ones that I needed and limited it to 3 or 4 over about the last 5 years. These markers are a great price and have the same great ink and tips as the Sketch markers. Instead of the larger oval shaped barrel, they have a round one which is fine with me. Replacement tips and inks are available from the same seller. They are sold for Manga artists but are great for any kind of project that involves coloring (I use them for rubber stamped greeting cards).
This particular set has great skin tone colors. They are very light colors, except for the brown marker. The fine point Multiliner Pen is great for making line drawings (or as I use it, to fill in areas that did not stamp well). Don't be concerned if the color looks a little "off" when first applied, it changes to the color of the cap as it dries. The lighter colors are very similar in hue, but just different enough to shade facial areas well. My only problem has been that none of them are a good color for a teddy bear so I will need to keep searching for for a warm light brown color that won't cover up the ink lines. LOL
And warning number 2: this is a solvent based ink so it dissolves and smears other inks easily. I try to remember to heat set my stamped images even when they are stamped with a "permanent" ink, and color very lightly when I get near the inked lines. I think the Multiliner pen is included for drawing the image because it resists the solvent in the markers.

These markers are of high quality and are quite durable. The colors are vibrant and are perfect for skintones. They hardly bleed through thin paper and the color does not fade. These are perfect for any level of artist and are well worth the price.
