body paint
Can anyone recommend some good, quality, and safe body paint? I'm going to be doing a body painting project this fall, and if anyone can suggest a great type of body paint, I would be most grateful. Thanks! Aug 20 05 01:36 am Link Body Painting Links including products. Another resource page Yahoo Body Paint Directory for on-line resources. Hope this helps. Aug 20 05 07:47 am Link I recommend the Ben Nye liquid paints (www.bennye.com) and also the Kryolan Aquacolor paints (www.kryolan.com). For metallic effects Mehron has good stuff (www.mehron.com). Also make sure that if you're applying any glitter around the eye area, the glitter should be the organic type and not the polyester, otherwise if it accidentally gets into the eye it'll irritate like hell.

I'm quite excited about this project, as I'll be applying my painting style to a living canvas.

Aug 20 05 01:33 pm Link Try a paint called creamcoat acrylic. it's water based and you can use a airbrush if thinned, or reg. brush...it works great for me...you can find it in craft or hobbie stores. I have an image in my port I used this paint on...check it out.
