Body Painting: Latex
built 613 days ago
A new twist on the age-old practice of body painting is liquid latex. This simple rubber compound is a fluid medium that is painted on the skin and then dries. By building up layers, whole outfits can be made and worn out in public. This unique material is popular for painted-on costuming effects in the movies, music videos and in the fetish dance club scene.

Begin painting: Before painting, you have to deal with the hair on your body. Hair can be either shaved or kept trimmed. Or you could rub a generous amount of body lotion into your skin and let it absorb completely before you can begin painting. However, if you keep the latex on for long, you may not need the lotion as you will perspire at the level of the skin and this will loosen the latex in time.

Be especially careful not to let two painted parts of the body touch each other, as they will bind instantly and tear the latex. Once all the latex has been painted on, the surface needs to be sealed or finished, which stops the sticking and tearing. Use a water/silicone-based polish, like on your car, or a product from Deviant Liquid Latex called STARDUST, which is a metallic powder.
