To me Brienne's has a serious, alert, duty and honor bound persona.
So if it were me I'd want her face to be serious/stern with slight frown (not angry) looking straight ahead.
As for skin color, I would match it with her hands.
This is very helpful. Definitely gives me a few ideas on what to tell them. She rarely smiled so a stern look captures the essence of the character.
I didn't send the hands with the head so I'm just going to have to leave that to chance, I guess. I should have thought of that as a reference for them, but this is my first time having a repaint done. Learning experience I guess.
Would you happen to have any idea how to tell them to paint her skin color or should I just try and find photos?
There isn't a ton you can do with paint to alter the expression of a sculpt, but they might be able to add a little bit of a brow furrow, which I think would benefit the likeness. She's usually more stern and disapproving than the neutral museum sculpt 3Z gave us.
That's kind of what I was confused about why they asked about the expression. It's a repaint, so they wouldn't be altering the sculpt at all. I can definitely ask them to try and work on the brows to help with the stern look that shadow wolf suggestion. I can definitely ask them to touch those up.
Any thoughts on skin or hair color by chance?
