Expressing yourself through pieces of clothing is definitely a great way to showcase your personality, but if you're in the mood to be a bit more artistic and adventurous, then these bold body paint looks will give you some great ideas on how to appear more visually expressive.
Painting a person's body with images and designs that blends in with a theme or background is an amazing artistic technique, which serves to incorporate that human being into the overall imagery. Body paint is a technique that is now being used by photographers and fashion designers as a way to add that shock value that consumers will surely remember.
From skeletal body paint photography to light reactive face paints, these body paint looks are making a bold artistic statement, showcasing a very intimate and revealing aspect of human expression.
