The "Magic Wash" is good for instant shading.  You get relatively little

pigment on the raised surfaces, as it settles into the crevices and
such.

These days I don't use paint washes; inks and stains only for me. 
Better 
color at the kind of consistency that you want a wash to have.	Reaper
and 
Vallejo have some nice colors, and -- while I hate their paint bottles
with 
a passion -- I absolutely love Games Workshop's premixed "Flesh Wash". 
And, 
in fact, I'm still using some of the *old* GW inks that I purchased a
good 
10 years ago now.  Good value in those days, but not much now.
