Any good latina figures out there?

I've been looking for a 20-ish distinctly latina looking figure. Sadly I didn't find anything satisfying and have to dial in my own. But maybe I missed something? Do you know of any?
I'm looking for a look that screams "South America", Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, etc. Face and skin is much more important than the body
Think Adriana Lima, young Sophia Vergara, Girl from the Narcos opening in the Colombia sash, Looking for genesis 8, but a perfectly fitting gen 3 is also acceptable.
I've looked at:

https://www.daz3d.com/eurielle-for-genesis-8-female
https://www.daz3d.com/camila-for-genesis-8-female
- these are kind of close, but not close enough
I also tried using some figures that are kind-of-latin-ish and dialled them a bit, e.g. Paisley, but the results were imperfect.
Any ideas?

Maybe Benita with some tweaks would work for you?
I had to think of Benita as well, although she's probably not in her 20es anymore.
I love the look of Madison, but I don't know if I'd describe her as 'distinctly latina'. She could pass as white in my opinion, but she's certainly beautiful:

Double-check Emma & Jordie's catalogue. I gert a strong Latinesque vibe from most of their characters.
I think she's intended to be Italian, but this might work:

Benita is distinctly latina, though she looks like 40-50. Maybe someone could dial in some teen josie in there and show the result?
The EJ Ethnic Beauties pack has decent shapes, but I don't really like the skin
Macarena looks like she could work with adjustments. I don't have many Mousso characters - how is the skin? I think I like FWSA and Silver skins the best in general. How does Mousso compare in that department?
Vincenzina is VERY distinct, but is g3. Might work.
I think the best for me would be either youngified Benita or dialled Macarena, but it's difficult to assess without a purchase. Thanks for the suggestions! Do you guys think DAZ will release a latina main character anytime soon?
Personally, I've always found Mousso characters to have excellent skin textures.
Forgive the funky hair - I just loaded it to frame the face. Here's Benita at 50% with Josie dialed in at 25%. Benita also uses the Face Young morph at -40% by default, so I'd guess that dialing that to 0% or to something in the positive range can probably make her look younger without the need for a younger character face. I just haven't tried it.
That looks pretty good! Thanks. Features are definitely distinctly latin, though she'll need a lot of dialling to become one of the reference women I mentioned. Though it looks like it's possible with this character. Do you also have Macarena? If so, could I get you to screenshot them both together in a scene for a skin comparison if it's not too much to ask?
I'm afraid I don't have Macarena, sorry! But I'm glad the pics helped you a bit. :)
Try Lyoness's catalog. I think she's got a few. I know her Pinkie is Latina. :)
The best I've found so far for that role of the modern generations is Anna for G3/V7. You may want to tweak the shader a bit to make her less glossy/glassy, but the skin textures were just what I was hoping for for this type of character.
This is a very quick render of Macarena and Tasha 8 (with the skin at 55% translucency so it's the same as Macarena.) Though not advertised as Latina, I think Tasha 8 can work too with another skin of your choice. I like the Mousso skins too, but think the product promos in the store don't really do them much justice, because they make the skins and the shapes all look the same, even though they're totally different. (I have 5 characters and none of them look the same.)
You might try figures from PA named Ozichick, who sells both here and on Rendo. The characters are somewhat stylized, but with some shader changes and a few minor tweaks, they might fill your search needs well.

The first one, in particular, just screams out SoCal Latina, because that's the Look that so many try for out here in La La Land.
Slim picken's
It doesn’t seem that https://www.daz3d.com/aleena-hd-for-teen-jane-8 was meant to be Latina, but when I rendered her she did seem to look it. Maybe if you tweaked her mouth a bit, she would look more so. Even just the Daz morphs should allow you to easily tweak to get a Latina look once you find a skin you like. Also https://www.daz3d.com/sunny-7 looks Latina (but more stylized...) But of course, there are many Latina looks...
Tasha 8 does indeed have some of these features. I wonder what she'd look like with the Macarena skin. For now I think I will pick up Macarena when it goes on a sale below $6 again, so that I can just use my plat voucher to get her, as she's a daz original. Dial her a bit. If that is not enough, then maybe Tasha or Benita. Ideally I'd like to do it cheap, so Macarena will be perfect if I can dial her to fit the requirements.
Clara, Sunny, Alexus and Emaile look more Mexico than Brazil, though they might work with some adjustments.
I guess this model looks like young latina: https://www.daz3d.com/amandla-for-teen-josie-7
https://www.daz3d.com/kalina-for-genesis-8-female
This one by iSourceTextures is supposed to be south american.
Amandla looks great, but is gen3, but I'll put her on the backup list if the others don't work out, thanks
This is Tasha 8 with Benita's skin & brows and Macarena's skin & brows. (I did these renders more for a skin comparison on the same but different shape.)
In terms of cheapness, Macarena is a good value. She comes with her own separate HD morphs (head and body) that you can use on other characters. And she comes with her thicker brows. Benita doesn't come with HD, but she comes with her own custom iris concave morph, fibermesh brows, and vellus hair. Her skin quality is excellent, as seen in Quixotry's renders. Then Tasha 8, is like many of the other "core" characters; has her own eyebrows, vampire fangs, and claws. Tasha 8's HD is separate. (I don't have it.)
Macarena skin is nice, but looks a bit cold/greyish. Benita has a nicer color palette, but less detail. I guess I'll pick up Macarena on a sale, try out different translucencies and go from there.
A little late to the scene.
Maria : 50% Benita, 50% Macarena, Texture/shaders Maddeliriums Carley
Pues claro hay muchas muchachas y Señoras latinas pero mi favorita es la Jorja de Rendorocity.
@cclesue Wow, thanks for that info. Jorja is definitely the most "latina" looking morph around. Nice tip ! :)
How about Frida? https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=139487

There's a lot of leaway for Latina; I remember chatting to a Brazillian girl; she was black, and as she said, Brazillian folks range from caucasion to black.
So take your pick.
Of course, how are you defining it, considering its origins relate to Italy and those that spoke Latin.
Some Daz lookalikes you can find:
Shakira (Columbian)
Ana de Armas (Cuban)
I'm sure there's more.
