Simple Flower Body Art
I painted this colourful flower on a friend’s arm last year by mixing and matching a few densely-pigmented MAC Pro Paint Sticks. Her beautiful milk-chocolate Indian skin brilliantly offset the vibrant shades. With its rainbow hues, this flower wouldn’t be out of place in a tropical landscape.
As you might’ve guessed, this little exercise in body painting reminded me of kindergarten (eons ago, for me) and the solid colours of halcyon days. ^_^
Oh my.. the colours are so vibrant and amazing! well done!!
pretty.. never thought of using shadesticks for body painting… hmm I shld go try my NYX jumbo eye pencils on my kids
awesome. that’d be Halal tattoo for me. hehehe
Thank you, Dana.
It could be more refined but the rough quality adds to the feel of yesteryear, I suppose?
Hey Jo,
I used the Paint Sticks, not the Shadesticks. The SSs are a little too dry for this and you won’t get the same colour pay-off.
The NYX ones are too emollient to use on their own. You could try setting with pigments though! 
Hi Idaz,
You could try it and set the image with hair-spray to prolong it.
