Powdered body paint?
Can anyone tell me what kind of body paint this is? I have been looking online and I can't seem to find a powdered body paint like in this video. There is surprising little out there on body painting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulIfHy7t2mE Dec 30 12 04:40 pm Link This paint might not be approved for cosmetic purposes Dec 30 12 06:29 pm Link It might not be body paint. It could be charcoal or some other substance. You could try using Black Star Blend Powder by Mehron, if you wanted a black powder, however it does come in a pressed cake form. Fardel and Fantasy both do a water based cream, which are really fast, easy to apply and easy to remove.

You have many choices of product type: liquid, cream, cake... There are many choices - each with pro's and con's. A matte black can be achieved with product like Mehron Magicolor liquid or Kryolan cream in a pump or water-activated cake like Mehron Paradise. For a gloss, a high quality theatrical grease paint can be used. Semi-gloss has even more options. There are many on-line vendors with very competitive pricing for cosmetic body paint. www.sillyfarm.com offers a good, comprehensive overview of what pros use. Pro artists do NOT advocate the use of non-cosmetic craft or art paints.

But is does look and sound like charcoal. There are lots of, proper for use on humans, powders and paints that will create that look.
