Can I have your exert advice on bodypaint?  I'm looking to create a very textured, chalky white look, similar to what Sergey Basin does. See examples at https://www.behance.net/gallery/102902423/Factura

The question is, what kind paint makes this look?  Maybe i shoudl try powdered tempura paint?   Regular bodypaint seems to have saturated colors and looks too smooth, but there may be a trick to it that I don't know.

There is a MM member in Oregon who does this type of thing. I've tried to find him but can't.

A google search for "stone statue makeup" will yield some YouTube videos.

I am late to the party. I think you should try taking this question to Reddit if you still have it. Here is a thread that popped up about photographing a body covered in clay. The comments are helpful and include some safety warnings:

Your best bet might be to ask a few makeup subreddits for tips.
