How to vertex paint with material?

Hi all!

I have a blender project which is a person with a skin material already on, but now want to use vertex paint for their lips but I can’t figure out how to get the lips to show up on top of the skin material. How do I adjust my nodes to allow this? Thank you!

You can mix the vertex paint as shown in the image.

Hmmm it’s not quite what I’m looking for. I have a skin material on my character that is created through nodes and not an image texture, and I am trying to colour just the lips on my character’s face using vertex paint and not an image texture. How do I get the vertex paint of the lips to show up on top of the existing skin material?

The attribute node retrieves and applies vertex colors.
