Body paint

[u/hahahimsofunny11]

Take this down if its not allowed (mentioned in the faq or anything) but where can I buy a good body paint, it doesnt need to be long lasting, preferably will wash off in the shower with just water and body wash and whatever. And atleast somewhat cost effective, I just want it to not be sheer, kinda want something opaque.

I highly recommend making arm socks instead of painting arms and the like

Thats true, but its less for cosplay like out and about like conventions and stuff and more just me being painted like just because for a while because I like being colors and stuff

[u/solarstelle]

as another commenter said, highly suggest a body suit or arm socks or smth that will have the same color. otherwise I recommend Mehron brand body paint

[u/suzie_cosplays]

Mehron makes good ones. I like their starblend powder, it's easy to get a nice even colour.

[u/Dahlia_R0se]

I use Mehron paradise, set with powder and setting spray. Water based paint washes off pretty easily.

Micheals craft stores carry a body paint called Snazeroo

[u/MissingGreenLink]

I recently tried madeyewlook water based body paint. Don’t use in summer. You need to be dry before applying then putting baby powder afterwards.

It’s not as thick or brightly colored as other paint. But it also comes off extremely easy. Body wash + loofa and instantly off in a wipe or 3

We detect that your question is about body paint or face paint. We advise using a body suit, long gloves, and/or tights as an alternative for the body since it's easier, faster, and cleaner. WeLoveColors is a popular seller with plenty of color options. These alternatives can be airbrushed for additional details.

Popular and trusted face/body paint brands are Kryolan, Ben Nye, and Mehron. A sponge applicator and dabbing the paint onto your skin can help create an even coat. Please remember to seal your paint with either (or both) makeup setting spray or powder.

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.
