Hehehe, thanks! loved you too, btw! Very neat.
I don't advise this, but I actually used my acrylic paints. Not my good ones (because... well... those are actually kinda toxic, lol), but I used gesso for the white and some craft paint for the mottled purpley/grey/brown to match the lacy undershirt I used. I pretty much just painted myself like I would a canvas, leaving bare skin around my eyes so I could use my regular makeup. I was kind of rushing with the black details, I couldn't find my nice fine liner brush, so the black acrylic turned out a little thick. So, would have liked to do finer details, but what the hey, now I have something I can improve on next year, right? :lol:
I would not, I repeat, WOULD NOT use this kind of paint to cover more than a small area for a short amount of time, even if it says nontoxic; nor should you ever use it on sensitive skin or anywhere near your eyes. Skin needs to breathe, and I ONLY used it because it was just a small part of one hand (since the other would be holding the camera), my upper chest, neck, and some of my face. AND, I dry brushed a lot of areas in my neck/face so the skin underneath wasn't completely covered. AND I only had it on for about 2 hours, maybe 3 max, from start to finish. I had to scrub pretty good, but not too rough, and always make sure you cleanse/moisturize/take care of your skin properly afterwards.
