Look Like You Walked Off a Black-and-White Movie Set With This Easy Costume

If you plan on painting your body, moisturize your skin with an oil-free formula the night before. "The body paint will last longer and resist cracking," shared Personette. "If the skin is dry, the finished product tends to look dry."

While you may be nervous about getting makeup all over your clothes or sweating off your gray skin, let me assure you — my clothes remained undamaged and I had to seriously scrub to remove the pigment. Personette used Make Up For Ever Wet Makeup in Black and White ($29 each) on much of my body, which is a cake that you moisten with water and paint on with a brush. She used equal parts of both colors to create the gray shade.
