I'm painting bodies this week!

Maya wearing Tulip Body Art

 I'm always game for trying new creative techniques. so when I was asked to demo the new Tulip Body Art, I jumped at the chance. I never really dabbled in bodypainting until this assignment, and for the past few weeks I've been mixing and matching between the paints, stencils and glitters.
I'll post a project soon, but in the meantime, here is an "official" project!



My tips: Before you apply the paint to the skin, apply it to your hand first to get the consistency just right. It has to be matte, not super wet otherwise it will spread under the stencil. Practice on your arm first until you get the hang of it. I like that the brushes are angled because it makes it easy to make flowers and stars. Use alcohol pads to remove the paint from skin.
