I think it's best if you stuck with the body paint, washable pain will make your skin really dry and makes it hard for your skin to breathe. It won't last for very long either.

water-based: Kryolan
oil-based: Ben Nye

Ben Nye is more durable, because it's oil-based, so it stays on forever if you set it with powder. Kryolan is durable and comes in a lot of colors, but you have to be careful about getting in contact with water, so it's no good if you're the type to sweat a lot.

I don't know if you're 18 or not but a lot of um...lingerie and those types of shops have edible body paint. It actually stays on really well. I used it for my Halloween costume. Plus at the end of the day you have food!!!!!!!!!
