Body Art Paint

The pigments used in a paint can be derived from natural sources, such as minerals and plants, or they can be synthesized chemically in a laboratory. The binder holds the pigments together to help the paint adhere to the painted surface. Other ingredients, such as solvents that adjust the paint’s consistency or additives that improve its performance or durability, may also be added to the mixture.  Body paint is a thick, opaque paint with a heavy pigment load. It is often used for texture and impasto effects in painting techniques, as well as for body painting style, costume design, and special effects makeup. Body paint is available in various colors and can be used with other materials, such as glitter or rhinestones, to create more complex effects.
