Nude Shoot Body makeup
I have a dumb newbie question about nude shoots: Is body makeup usually applied to cut down glare? If so, what is used and how is it applied? Jan 07 06 02:07 am Link I've never used body makeup for a nude shoot, unless it's to hide a tattoo or something of that nature. The body doesn't usually have the same oil problems as a face does, so eliminating shine shouldn't be necessary. If; for some reason, you do decide to use body makeup, the same type producuts used on the face can be used on the body.

It would depend on the purpose of the photo. The product most used is Dermablend. Jan 07 06 07:24 am Link Whole body MU? Perhaps not to cut glare but to go the other way and give the whole body a sheen (if doing nude work of course) to catch highlights. In this case the MU is usually only oil rather than pigmented kind of MU. Spot MU? There may be some other instances as well - again for nudes but not necessarily whole body MU - often, people with light skin patches at the base of the spine may need some MU applied there... women with very pale nipples may get a little blusher applied there... covering a birthmark with a bit of concealer+powder... using MU to cover surgical or injury scars or stretch marks from childbirth... ect, ect Studio36 Jan 07 06 08:20 am Link OK. Very cool. Now I at least have a bit of understanding about the subject. thanks! Jan 07 06 09:59 am Link We have an airbrush system in the studio. I don't use it much to eliminate shine. We do sometimes apply a temporary tan, covertattoos/blemishes or occassionally change skin tone. We also use it sometimes to apply a sheen by spraying on a mix of glycerin and water (using a spray bottle for touch-ups). Jan 07 06 10:10 am Link I have used baby oil to add shine, (the new gel baby oil is great) and blush to nipples at one point. but usally nope, no body makup needed in nude shots. Don't wear any underwear before your shoot at all. Don't get waxed the day of your shoot. Don't get tan lines. Jan 07 06 10:17 am Link So if you are doing a nude i would highly sudgest a light powdering with a translusent powder all over the body , make sure that you remove anything that will leave a line as this can take some time to go away if you apply some body lostion this will spead up the line removal process, The powder is used to avoid HOT SPOTS if you want to look all hot and sweaty you can use baby oil gel, spray (liquid) sunscreen works reall well, or use glerin (can get at a drug store) to create beads of sweat. a little powder sudgestion is if you have black skin dont use any products with talc in it as this will make your skin look ash y I like the physitions fourmula in a transulsent (compact), it s hypoallergetic and doesnt contain talc Jan 07 06 02:18 pm Link Deadly Design Make-up wrote: It sounds great .. thanks a lot for sharing it Jan 12 06 08:40 pm Link I had no idea there was such a thing as body makeup. Course it seems it may just be normal makeup one would use for the face. Learn something new everyday  Jan 12 06 08:45 pm Link I use body makeup on quite a few of my nude shoots to cover imperfections (ha! as if I have any of THOSE). I've used oil and vaseline to add sheen, but I've never used body make-up to eliminate shine. That's just not an issue with me.
