Okee, so the concept I've chosen involves some body paint and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to paint or pigment that wont come off when I sweat, Im looking for browns and greens as well as a glittertone bright green for certain accents. The paint is primarily going to be for my hands, arms, neck and face. Thank you!

Hi!
I enjoy doing a lot of fantasy and/or horror makeups, and I find that the two brands that work well are Mehron and Ben Nye. They're a little pricey, but they come in cakes that'll last you a goodly while. We use a lot of Mehron makeup for our NPCs, as well-some of it liquid, some of it water-activated cakes. It covers evenly and opaquely, in my experience, but how much water to use for the cakes takes a little feeling out. Both companies also have a variety of glitter products.
My advice, no matter which company you go with, is to make sure you get sealer spray. It helps set the makeup and protect it against coming off in the rain, and if you spray it on your skin before you apply the makeup, can help prevent it coming off due to sweat.

Hope this helps!

Awesome, so I would seal twice. Once to keep the paint from sweating out, and again to keep it from rubbing off. Wonderful. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

A friend of mine is an arbonne rep, and their makeup primer is amazing for setting makeup and keeping pores clear. Kept my scar on my neck all Friday night (till 5 am) and most of Saturday without a touch-up, even when rubbed by shirt/hair/whathaveyou. Another possible option

The Ben Nye sealant is the best imho. Its a spray that will seal everything onto your face/body until you shower.
