RIO CARNAVAL MAKEUP

If you're going to paint something similar to this on clothing then try acrylic paint rather than makeup. If it's going on the body with only a bra like covering and panties then possibly airbrush makeup would be better suited. It really will depend on how much is going on bare skin and how much on clothing.

If you're going with something similar to that then I would probably stick with a similar design on the face. Essentially carry the floral portion (seen on the upper thighs) up towards the face.

If you're going to copy the look exactly then use the same or similar colors. I think that design would also work well with blues and teals along with golds and greens. It's your imagination so try it out first rather than do it at the last minute. As for painting over the g-string, no it won't look odd from afar. At IMATS LA many of the models used had nude color briefs on and had their bodies painted with of course the nude color undies being painted as well and it looked fine.

What type of body makeup is safe to paint those areas if I go without undies?

If you use a non-toxic acrylic you should be fine. There is also liquid latex to consider, I know that some is used in the adult entertainment industry however if that's available in your area or not is another matter.

Honestly I would not recommend using acrylic paints on your face. This will clog your pores like crazy, rather get cream/cake face paint from: Ben Nye, Mehron (Paradise Makeup), Grimas or Kryolan  or Temptu colors (alcohol based paint)
