The Right Way to Apply Body Paint For Halloween

You'll want to use a brush to apply your body paint. Stewart prefers a foundation brush for this. "You really want a brush that's flat and firm, and of course, a slightly larger size," she says. "And then you can wash your foundation brush out with some shampoo and some water, and it will be totally clean and ready for your everyday skin again."

To get started, try the Make Up For Ever #109 HD Skin Foundation Brush ($44) for a brush and the Ucanbe Oil Based Face Body Painting Palette ($14) for a body-paint kit. The Neon Nights UV Body Paint Set ($19) is also a great option for glow-in-the-dark body paint.
