When you have whatever it is on your face or body you’re going to have to paint it with something. there are so many out there and all tailored to what you want and what you’re going for. For example, there are water activated paint, alcohol activated paint, cream paint…etc. the activated paints can be super pigmented or sheered down depending on how much water or alcohol you use.
