The leopard skin design came from a pack of charity cards from [Mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twirly-mac) and are amongst the most striking body painting images I have seen. The group of painted women were also featured on Mo’nique’s show, ‘Fat Chance.’ [All bodies are beautiful](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-amazing), and I think this trend shows exactly that. I think the multi-colored group scene is one of the most striking images of [body art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) I have seen. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Body Positivity:** Opportunity for cosmetics and fashion industries to promote inclusive beauty standards and provide products for plus-sized individuals. - **Artistic Body Painting:** Potential for art galleries and body painting studios to showcase and sell body art as a form of self-expression and empowerment. - **Celebrity Endorsements:** Possibility for brands to collaborate with influential figures to promote body positivity and challenge beauty norms. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for cosmetics companies to develop inclusive makeup and skincare products for plus-sized consumers. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to offer stylish and fashionable clothing options for plus-sized individuals, challenging traditional sizing norms. - **Art:** Opportunity for art galleries and museums to feature body art exhibitions and support the work of body painters as a recognized art form. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Body-Inclusive Reality TV Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roses-for-every-body.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Body Neutrality Movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-at-every-size.md) - [Body-Inclusive Image Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-type-range.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Pop-Up Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodyscape-installation.md) - [Voluptuous Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voluptuous-seating.md) - [Unretouched Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty.md)
