Face & Body Paints?

[Susanna-Cole]

I was wondering, does anyone know where to buy good face/body paints?

Ever since seeing a behind the scenes video from the Ralph Lauren Rocks campaign, I really liked the idea of how they painted flowers and such on Hannah's right arm, with a sort of body paint?

I've done much searching but I can't find any paints like they use? Usually all I can find our little kid face paints for like birthday parties... or maybe that's what they used?

Does anyone know where to find face and/or body paints? Or what kind of make-up/paint that might of used in doing the Ralph Rocks ads? Any help would be very, very appreciated!

MAC's Pro stores carry Chromacakes, which are a caked sort of paint for face and body. I know that you can call the pro stores and see if they will ship to you but you can only buy from the website if you have the proper certification.

Ok, I'll have to look into that! Thank you so much for your help!

No prob! MAC Pro carries quite a bit of the body paint-type stuff, there is a special mixing medium that is meant just for the body so you could mix that with some Pigments (their core line of pigments is good, but the pro is unbelievably awesome) to create even more colours. There's also some pencils that are meant to be used for those kinds of things-they even say "Not for use on face".
