Body Paint

Post by Chentelle » Mon Jul 21, 2008 8:20 pm

What type of paint do you use for body art? Where do you purchase it? Any tips on application?

Thanks all! ^_^

Theres all sorts of places to get Body paint. Latex is the most common, so if you have a latex allergy, you will not have near the pallette available.

I'm curious what they were using here:

Could it just be spray-on household latex? (Which actually doesn't contain latex, and no, it isn't intended for cosmetic use, but I suspect would be just fine.)

If you use Latex, DO NOT do full body! Is fun, but unless youre completely hairless a bit of a pain to remove..latex scraps possible moop..keep that in mind. A few camps I went to used food coloring and water.sprayed on. Just wash in a tub or pool..dyes the playa
anything worth doing is worth overdoing..

What about black light paints suitable for body use? Are there any camps that specialize in black light installation. I love black lights and would like to be painted in a black light paint.
