Body Paint in Barcelona | Professional body makeup
Body Painting for Private clients · Companies · Production companies · Agencies · Photographers · Event organisers
Body Paint is a form of artistic expression that uses the body as a canvas. Through body makeup, I can transform the skin into a living work of art, creating custom designs, fantasy characters, visual effects and concepts adapted to all kinds of projects.
I do Body Painting for private clients, companies, production companies, agencies and event organisers. From an artistic photo shoot to a live show, each job is planned individually to achieve the result you are looking for.
Discover my Body Paint services and find the option that best suits your idea. From classic and abstract designs to creations with fluorescent paint, glitter or prosthetics.
Services I offer:
Custom Body Paint:
I can develop a concept from scratch or work from a design you have in mind. Animals, fantasy creatures, items of clothing, illustrations, abstract designs, monochrome makeup or any other theme you want to bring onto the body.
Body Paint can be partial or cover the whole body, depending on the result you are after. It is an ideal option for photo shoots, art projects, private events, shows and performances.
I also do fluorescent body makeup, or UV Body Paint, designed to create designs that glow under black light. An especially interesting option for photo shoots, events and creative projects looking for a surprising visual experience in the dark.
Body Paint with prosthetics
I combine body makeup with special effects techniques to create unique characters with volume and three-dimensionality.
I design and make custom prosthetics, such as horns, scales, feathers or other elements the character requires, and integrate them with the Body Paint so that everything forms a seamlessly integrated design adapted to the needs of each project.
This option makes it possible to transform the anatomy and add three-dimensionality to achieve more elaborate characters. It is an especially interesting option for audiovisual productions, artistic photo shoots, shows and events looking for a striking visual result.
Body Paint Show
A body makeup service done live, in front of an audience.
Instead of doing the makeup backstage, I set up a workspace where attendees can watch the design take shape on the model’s skin. This turns the makeup into a visual, participatory activity that can be part of your event’s programme.
The Body Paint Show is an ideal option for trade fairs, brand launches, festivals, exhibitions and celebrations looking for an artistic activity that can capture the audience’s attention.
If you wish, I can set up a Body Paint stand with a decorated workspace adapted to the look of your event. The design, duration and organisation of the activity are agreed according to the needs of each project.
Body Paint workshop
A creative experience to share as a group
Looking for a different activity for a hen party, a birthday or a special celebration?
In my Body Paint workshops you will learn the basics of body makeup and then put your creativity into practice by creating designs on the skin. No previous experience is needed: I will teach you some techniques and guide you through the activity so you can enjoy the process and create your own design.
You can choose between different workshop formats, depending on the kind of experience you want to enjoy:
Paint each other
An especially participatory option in which you work in pairs or small groups, painting each other and experimenting with different colours, shapes and Body Paint techniques.
Workshop with a model
If you prefer to focus the activity on creating a single design, you can work on a model during the workshop. In this case, the person acting as the model will be the host, or someone who wants to take part as a model can come along with you.
Workshop with a professional model
I can also organise the activity with a professional model so that the group can concentrate on learning, experimenting and developing the design under my supervision.
In any of the formats, I will be with you throughout the whole process, contributing ideas and helping you with the techniques so that the result is as fun and creative as possible.
During the activity I will also take souvenir photos so you can keep some of the best moments of the workshop and the final result of your Body Paint.
A different experience to celebrate together, learn something new and take home a very special memory of the day.
Ideal for: hen parties, birthdays, get-togethers with friends, private celebrations and other creative group experiences.

Frequently asked questions
How is the quote put together?
To prepare a quote I need to know the design you want, how much of the body is to be made up, the location and the characteristics of the project.
It is also important to know whether the makeup includes fluorescent paint, prosthetics, glitter, live work or any special production requirement.
With this information I can assess the working time, materials and logistics needed to offer you a personalised proposal.
How much of the body can Body Paint cover?
Body Paint can be adapted to the area you need to cover:
Partial Body Painting: A specific area of the body: Back, Torso, Face and Arms…
Half-body Body Painting: Body makeup from the waist up, or one side of the body
Full Body Painting: The whole body
How long does a Body Paint take?
The time depends on the area covered, the complexity of the design, the amount of detail and whether the work includes prosthetics or other special effects.
As a guide, a full Body Paint can take between 2 hours (A monochrome design) and 6 hours of work or more (A complex full design with drawings and textures)
To estimate how long your project will take, I will need to know the proposal for your project.
What should the model wear during a full Body Paint?
For full-body Body Paint work, a thong must be worn throughout the session. The genital area is not made up, for reasons of hygiene and safety.
Whenever possible, the thong should be provided by the model. That way we make sure it is the right size and comfortable for the whole session. The thong should be as discreet as possible and suitable for the design. White for most sessions and black for UV sessions.
In addition, for women, or whenever the project requires it, latex nipple covers are applied.
What does the workspace need?
To do the Body Paint, a suitable space and some basic working conditions are needed.
The space must have:
- Good natural or artificial lighting
- A suitable chair or seat for the model
- Access to running water
- A power socket
- A table for the work materials
- Enough space to work comfortably
For fluorescent body makeup, it will also be necessary to be able to switch the lights on and off and to have black light to check the UV effect during the process.
If the service takes place in cold weather, the space must be heated so the model can stay comfortable during the session.
Before confirming the service, we will agree on the specific needs of the project.
How is Body Paint cleaned off or removed?
Body paint usually comes off with soap and water; the model usually showers to remove any remaining paint. That said, the procedure can vary depending on the products used and the design.
If the makeup includes prosthetics, I can take care of removing them and help with the makeup removal at the end of the service, as long as this has been planned as part of the project.
Where does the service take place?
I work in Barcelona and travel throughout Catalonia for sessions and events.
The service can be organised in a photo studio, a private room, a trade fair, an event or any other space that meets the necessary conditions to work.
If you have a project in another town, you can ask me to check availability and travel conditions.
