✨ This is bodypaint ✨ Here's a video of the look I posted yesterday:)
A future goal of mine is to get to a Bob Ross skill level of landscape and seascape paintings, but bodypaint edition 😁
This was my first ever full torso landscape bodypaint.

I was planning on painting the arms, as well as colouring my face completely as well, but I ran out of time:)
This is an interesting idea: that xtian #patriarchal control of #women especially attacked and belittled or shamed use of #cosmetics. This was particularly in the heritage of the #puritans but here the author argues it developed much earlier.
The very word 'cosmetic' in English connotes superficial, shallow, trivial. Yet the classical Greek etymology connects to a notion of beauty underpinning a morally ordered universe -- cosmos, cosmology. This is a concept frequently found in #Indigenous thinking.
Since our #FemaleCosmeticCoalitions theory argues for women's #ritual use of #bodypaint as fundamental to human #symbolic#culture, we think this suppression of body art is a likely pathway to patriarchy. Where women have power and freedom, they use cosmetics and adornment -- especially in solidarity -- to express that.

Painted by me on me! This is Emma Frost from X-Men! I loooove how this turned out and it's one of my favourite looks. It never really did well on social media, but I suppose that's because Emma Frost isn't that known? 🤷🏼♀️ Either way I love it!

This is somewhat unfinished, Bernardo my daughter was a year old at the time and she really wanted Mama so I had to finish up before... finishing up. 😅

I don't always paint on myself!
As you can see here, I turned my friend Meg into the movie version of Gamora. Unfortunately we got a late start that day! We were supposed to start at 9am, but trains and busses were cancelled so we didn't get started until 3pm. But I think it turned out great even with limited time.
