Body Makeup Covers Tan Lines

Male Model wearing towel Gets Makeup Applied To His Abs

If a male model arrives at a photo session with tan lines, a photo session can be ruined. Here, a stylist applies some body painting make-up to Jim's waist to cover untanned skin.

Makeup can cover large areas of untanned skin and can make models appear to have a full body tan. Makeup can be applied to disguise tan lines. There are many shades of body makeup. The challenge is to choose the shade that matches the model's skin tone so the makeup is evenly toned and the tan looks real.

Applying Body Makeup Consumes Time At Photo Shoots

Applying body makeup to crevices in muscles can take 15-30 minutes. Covering tan lines from wearing shorts takes much longer than adding definition to muscles. A tan line developed from wearing shorts involves a large surface area - two entire ass cheeks and front hips area. It can take 1.5 hours to apply body makeup to a butt and thighs.

It is better to save time at the photo shoot by avoiding developing tan lines. You can read how to correct tan lines using a tanning bed.

If you have a tan line from wearing shorts, be sure to inform the photographer or stylist in advance, so they can schedule your arrival to give time to apply body makeup. Surprising the crew with a tan line is bad.

Nervousness Doesn't Last

A model who is getting body makeup applied to his body should expect to feel uncomfortable because he is standing nude while a crew member rubs makeup on his skin. However, nervousness does not last. Models overcome initial uncomfortable feelings after a few minutes and get accustom to the procedure.
