OZ: A Different Kind of Paradise
Contents:
However, excessive hunting by human populations and the growing logging industry encroaching on their natural habitats has put some species at risk. There are an estimated 42 species of bird of paradise. Tropical forests, rainforests, montane forest, and swamps. Primarily fruit and arthropods, types and ratios vary between species. Although most male birds of paradise have spectacular plumage, there are a few species where the male and female have almost identical, generally modest-looking plumage.
These species tend to be monogamous while the sexually dimorphic species tend to be polygamous. A male Raggiana bird of paradise is featured on the New Guinean national flag. There are a number of hybrid birds of paradise due to crossbreeding between distinct species. Bird of paradise plumes are used as currency by certain New Guinea tribes. The South African Bird of paradise plant Strelitzia reginae was named because of its flowers resemblance to the animals. I was amazed at how well it covered my darker skin.
It didn't transfer on my hair or clothing and I didn't use any kind of setting spray or powder. Granted, I didn't leave my house or worked up a sweat, but I wore it for about 6 hours and it looked as good as when I put it on. I had to layer twice for full coverage but this product will obviously last for many many applications. I am beyond impressed and about to order more colors!! Oh and it washed off extremely easily, no staining either! Light Blue Verified Purchase.
I was not expecting this make-up to work this well. I went as Sadness from Inside Out for Halloween this year, and used this paint for my face and feet I opted for blue gloves rather than paint my hands, for practicality. The application was easy and the coverage was deliciously opaque, even without a white base coat. Here's how I did it: I used water to create a consistency like melted ice cream, and applied 4 - 5 thin layers on my face and neck. I made sure each layer was completely dry in between applications; there is a fine line between adding more paint versus washing off what you've already applied.
Applying in thin layers prevents caking and cracking of paint when it is applied too thickly.

Layering was a very easy process with this paint. I then sealed the paint once dry with a dusting of Mehron sealing powder, but talc would probably work just as well. It held up for 5 hours with only a couple of re-applications to my lips after eating and drinking. In hindsight, I would probably opt for a barrier spray to use before applying the paint, as my sweat did cause some light spots in the paint throughout the night, and I would use a nice opaque lipstick rather than the cream paint on my lips, for longevity.
I would say this paint is theatrical grade for sure - smooth, consistent color that looks great from even a few feet away, but it didn't quite hold up for camera close-ups. Not that I was expecting it to - all in all, I am super happy with it and look forward to getting more mileage out of it cosplaying it at conventions!
I received a lot of compliments on the coverage, some coming from professional make-up artists, which sealed the deal for me. Amazon Green Verified Purchase.
As you can see, I have dark skin, so I needed a full coverage body paint. I plan to use this for Halloween to cover my arms, hands, face, and neck. I researched how to apply this paint, and found that stippling with a sea silk sponge works best. I soaked the sponge in a bowl of water for one minute, then squeezed most of the water out.
I then rubbed the sponge across the paint palette, working up a little bit of paste.
After that, I stippled dabbed the paint on my arm. To prime my face, I used a facial toner spray and lotion moisturizer to prevent staining. Once I was done with application, I let the palette air dry before putting the lid back on.
I also cleaned the silk sponge with soap and rinsed it out with warm water. After wearing the paint for an hour, it did not crack or flake off. It wears like full coverage foundation, and also transfers much the same - not a whole lot, but you run the risk of leaving admirers tainted green with envy.

I recommend air kisses only. Because of this, I recommend carrying latex gloves for bathroom trips if you paint your hands. The rest washed off with regular soap and cloth. With my skin tone, there was minimal staining, most noticeable on my palms. Mehron also sells a barrier spray to use before makeup application.
In the hour I wore the paint, there was no reaction on my sensitive skin. So far, I'm in love with this body paint! The smell is nice for a body paint, and the formula keeps your skin moist. Because it is water-based, I wouldn't recommend it if you're going to be in the heat or dancing. It's definitely not rain proof! Stay cool and dry! I bought this for an Ursula costume and it worked great.
I used it over a grey base to get the shade that I wanted. It is really easy to apply and I set it with powder and then a setting spray. I knew with being in the heat it wouldn't last as long as something waterproof or latex. We walked for a few hours in the sun and heat and it held up much better than I expected.
It is water based so if you sweat or have rubbing on the area where you have the make up you'll lose some coverage. After a few hours I lost some of the makeup on my neck and where I had my necklace laying but nowhere near as much as I expected. Best part about being water based is it was so easy to take off, which is really great if you're using it for a large part of your body. I highly recommend it.
