Jozje looks very sexy in this! I've always thought the colors teal and seafoam green complemented beautiful red-haired girls like her.

Thanks! Turquoise is Jozje's favorite colour, I was very happy with that because indeed it compliments her hennaed hair and tanned skin beautifully.

Laiyla In reply to poivre [2011-03-26 22:06:32 +0000 UTC]

Well, this is water-based Kryolan body paint so it will go off in water. They also have high-pigmented creamy paints, they're called Supracolor, perhaps you'd take a look at that?

I sort of have plans for the rest of the zodiac, but it's not certain. The model and photographer loved it though so I'm definately going to paint her again in October.

Grimas waterbased bodypaint brought on entirely with a brush and a bit of sponge.

This is pretty darn awesome! I am a makeup artist but I specialize in FX makeup. However, this piece is so cool that I am inspired. I might have to try airbrushing/body painting more often!

That's awesome!

Is there a certain type of paint you used for this?

Laiyla In reply to cleverasinine [2010-08-15 07:35:58 +0000 UTC]

I used Grimas bodypaint/facepaint for this, and a little glitter on top (by Hema, a Dutch brand)

Ah cool...I keep searching local newspaper classifieds, knowing that one day I'm finally gonna find that job for doing body painting

Well, the first thing you gotta do is do lots of free paints because you have to build up some kind of portfolio. I'f you've got something to show, sign up on ModelMayhem.com or a local bodypaint community (I know there is one in the Netherlands) so you can get your first assignments After you;ve built up a good portfolio you can easily charge €100/hour.
