Metallic gold body paint?
Hello, I am after a highly metallic gold body paint. I need it to be highly metallic/shiny/reflective. This is an example of the finish I want to achieve: http://www.ilovebodyart.com/wp-content/ … inting.jpg http://ongoingpro.com/wp-content/upload … 60x872.jpg This is an example of what i DO NOT want: [NSFW 18+] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/23 … 0702cc.jpg I realize a lot of it will depend on the lighting used. Can anyone recommend the best product? Thanks! May 16 15 08:49 pm Link Find out what was used in the movie Goldfinger. May 17 15 06:22 am Link Google ---> mehron metallic powder The added "gloss" can be helped with suitable wax, oil, or body butter - polishing with something smooth (jar?) helps to some degree, directional lighting and post processing to some degree. (light use of "plastic wrap" effect) May 17 15 11:35 am Link The liquid, high shine is done with cosmetic powder (like Mehron) mixed with canola oil (or similar). Very pretty, but VERY messy. Advise drop cloths galore. May 17 15 12:09 pm Link What Lisa said. Be aware of potential fire hazzards with oils. Realize that it requires constant vigilance and touch ups. Realize that traces WILL be found throughout the studio for a long time. Realize that if you apply it yourself....you will be finding powder and/or oil/powder mix on anything you touch (especially camera gear). Consider hiring someone who has done it before.... it is not as simple as it might seem.

A Search here on MM is also helpful as this topic comes up on a regular basis. May 27 15 05:04 pm Link May 31 15 09:30 am Link If I may make a cleanup suggestion... As a model in an art installation by Nix Herrera, I & many others were painted in oil/metallic powder combinations. For cleanup, start with old, dry towels & towel off as much as possible before moving on to baby wipes, shower, etc. Jun 13 15 01:56 pm Link Both Mehron and Graftobian have metallic powders which are just great. Here is a link to a handout on how to use these special powders. http://www.extrememakeupfx.com/The-Pain … powder.htm Jul 22 15 09:18 am Link Sweet Loretta wrote: If it is zero dollars in price a direct link to the file will be better.

The settings are probably just as important as the type of makeup used. Oct 15 16 12:11 pm Link Thanks for the photo tips. Lighting on these and most metallics requires attention. I use Metallic Powders A Lot! I rarely use oil. It is messy and does not provide as nice of coverage or sheen as Mixing Liquid. And yes, my free handout requires you go through my store. Oh well. A choice one will make to forego or get years of my professional and experience on tips and tricks for using Metallic Powders in body art and extreme makeup. Given I am hired to teach entire classes on Metallic Powders, it a deal!

I also found that a tub of wet wipes worked far better than anything else for removal from the skin afterward. With oil, it is fugitive and will get on everything the model touches.
