Bodypainting "Mother Nature"

I was hired by Celltice cosmetics to paint my interpretation of a nature goddess.

The event was held at the Long Beach Convention Center, and had suppliers from all over the country. They had the model, Marissa Zumbo, and I meet at 8am in her hotel room, to complete the artwork.

I used water based face and body makeup, glitter, and powders to create this look. My assistant stenciled on some leaf and branch accents as well.

Painting our the model in the hotel before the trade show. My assistant Nina uses an airbrush to stencil leaves & branches, and I'm painting the details with a brush

The plan I made to beforehand to help speed up the process. The whole design took a total of just 2 hours.

A reference sheet for the bodypainted design. It shows step by step the layers of the design from start to finish.

These are some of the key features of a Sugar Skull makeup, the common name for the traditional Dia De Los Muertos makeup...

-white base, no base...get experimental with a colored base

-forehead centerpiece such as a rose, heart, web, or flower

-hollowed out eyes and nose of a skull

-dot embellishments around the eyes

-lips painted with skeleton teeth, stitches, and/or just lipstick!

Skull timelapse! Use a "kabuki brush" for fast full coverage, then finish the rest with sponges and brushes. Fun idea: jewels and gems to accent around the eyes!
