Steps

  1. 1
    If possible, have the body paint under the previous costume - less area to cover. In an ideal situation this could mean their entire body is already covered and the only areas that will need to be painted will be the face and hands. You can have form-fitting gloves to cover the hands, and form-fitting pieces of clothing (think stockings) to cover any other exposed skin.
  2. 2
    Consider what kind of body paint you will be using and if there is any advice from the manufacturer on this situation.
  3. 3
    Consider special application equipment. Are there brushes designed for hasty application? Can it be sprayed on? Spraying it on would be the fastest way, short of dipping someone in a tub of paint. If you need some particular design, consider stencils that you would use to apply the designs as quickly as possible.

Tips

  • Always consult safety and manufacturers advice before using such products.
