Aaand a useful infographic for purchasing paint. I'd also add Snazaroo to that list of water based paints, its very cheap and washes off easily plus its readily available at Joann Fabrics and Michaels.

Probably use a "grease" (cream) paint like Ben Nye or Mehron (not their aquacolor line). You will want to set it with setting powder until it is no longer tacky to the touch.

You could also look into alcohol or hybrid paints (ProAiir is a brand I've used before). They are liquid and can be applied with a brush or an airbrush.

>rooming at a con with two cosplaying friends
>have experience with face/body painting
>throw my basic kit in just in case, though no one has specifically asked me too
>both friends need my kit to complete their costumes
>friend one has black designs painted on her arm
>set her paint, still warm her about touching other people throughout the day (especially me because I was wearing white)
>she's considerate all day, making sure she's walking on the opposite side of me so she doesn't get paint on my cosplay
>friend two needs "battle scars" on her arms and chest
>give her the same warning
>sit down next to her on shuttle from parking to con
>she leans against me and leaves a red smear on my white shirt

Last time I help her out

I use Kryolan waterbased paints and set it with Mehron barrier spray to seal everything in. Sweat didn't affect it whatsoever.

What cosplay do you use it for?
