INFORMATION
PAINTING TIME
On average it takes around 5-7 hours to paint a model (full body head to toe) and about 3-4 hours for a half body.
DRYING TIME
The make-up dries almost instantly.
MEDIUM
I use only safe hypo-allergenic make-up to body paint the models. Depending on the project I will use sponge and brush painting or the airbrush. Most times I use a combination of both.
REMOVAL
Most of my body paint removes easily with soap and water - and some of my body paint removes with rubbing alcohol.
