 ID: 255444 Posts: 842 | Date: 2009-04-26 06:58 We did a body painting shoot yesterday, not exactly as planned. It was supposed
to be a two person shoot, but one model cancelled. Anyway, we modified our plans
and went along with the shooting.
We do have a slight problem that we need help with. The model has since reported
that the paint is not coming off very easily.  Any
body have information that might help? The paint is Airbrush paint from MAC, and
is SUPPOSED to be water soluable. We will contact MAC on Monday, but the poor
girl is all red and the sooner we can clean her up the better. ( We are not
looking for volunterrs to scrub her down, just products). So far shampoo works
best but it still required a fair bit of effort, and application of effort is
hinderd when doing the back area. (She can't reach as easily).
Thanks.Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

renews itself constantly
Can't be fun for the model though it will wear off by itself, has the model
tried a good long soak in a hot soapy bath yet?
Only other thing I can think of would be brush cleaner, white spirits or
turpintine substitute |

ID: 255444 Posts: 842 | Date: 2009-04-26 09:50 I think the model could use spritis, but the drinking kind !~! 
She was in the shower for about half an hour, here, as soon as the shoot ended.
only about half the paint came off. When she got home she soaked for an hour and
scrubbed with an exfoliant, she got most of it off, except where she
can't reach so easily, like her back side.
A make-up artist I used once suggested baby oil and the model will try that.
I'll update on the results.Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

 ID: 244213 Posts: 143 | Date: 2009-04-26 10:43 Hello;
I was in a show two years ago where the models were air brushed. I believe the
Make-up artists used a lanolin or oil based lotion. The stuff was applied and
left on while the rest of the body had the lotion applied. The MUA then (and it
appeared quite easily) removed the paint. Don't know what kind of paint was
used. Good Luck! |

Apparently the baby oil aproach is working..
Thanks.
Now, wonder if that model will EVER want to work with me again.... Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

Sometimes you have to shed a little blood, sweat and tears to achieve
perfection! Nothing worthwhile comes easy. (At least now you know what works and
what dosen't.) |

ID: 255444 Posts: 842 | Date: 2009-04-26 14:03 Yes. It was a bit of a stresser, but all part of the learning process. 
(Easy for me to say, I'm not the one who went home looking like a lobster )
Oh, well. Another shoot in an hour - without body make-up on this one-. (And the
model involved is from here, so if she reads this, I can't stress enogh, This
WON'T happen to you...honest!)Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

ID: 255444 Posts: 842 | Date: 2009-04-26 16:03 Well. as a side note... goes to show that one should not try to go against fate.
The shoot should have been postponed as my regular MUA was unavailable. Rather
than cancel I went with an alternative MUA, one that I had never used before,
but who assured me she was trained in body painting. (yeah right!)  Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

creams (such as ornidary NIVEA cream) will work.  hope it helps |

ID: 255444 Posts: 842 | Date: 2009-04-27 08:57 Thanks, will be more prepared next time. Now we are looking at tips to help
reduce the adhesion. Some people suggested applying a skin conditioner before
applying the paint..Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

ID: 228700 Posts: 76 | Date: 2009-04-27 09:43 Yes it might be helpfull also, something like baby oil before paint aplication
might moisturizes the skin and help to dont absorb all paint. |

ID: 255444 Posts: 842 | Date: 2009-04-27 10:35 Thanks. I should state the MUA had ASSURED me she had worked with this product
before and know what she was doing.... Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

 ID: 245208 Posts: 108 | Date: 2009-05-13 02:01 for future preference have her work out and let the sweat glans get rid of the
paint. just have her wipe off the sweat when it starts dripping. by the way if
that is air brushed it looks like they laye it on kinda thick.Dante' A V |

| Date: 2009-05-13 02:56 I agree with Dante - for air brush it looks very heavy applied - nice work
though I really like the multi colour shots |

ID: 255444 Posts: 842 | Date: 2009-05-13 08:09 The red shots started off as airbrush for a base. But we wanted to paint to mix
and airbrushing caused the paint to dry almost instantly. So we just brushed it
on.
The yellow and blue images are done with a tempura based paint.Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |
