The paint will last for the duration of your photography session. For dancers and performers, we typically use alcohol-based paints since it’s sweat- and water-resistant (we’ve used it underwater!). We also spray you with a sealant at the end to help keep all the paint in place. But keep in mind that longevity depends on what you’re doing and friction is the enemy of body paint. So the places where the body paint meets clothing is where you’ll see it rub off first. If you are sweating extensively or drinking alcohol-based beverages, you may see the paint wear off faster.

Most people do not have any issues with the professional-grade body paints we use, even if they have sensitive skin. However, your skin may feel dry when you’re being painted because we ask that you arrive with clean skin with no lotions or oils applied. (Lotions and oils prevent the paint from sticking well).

If you have any skin concerns, we can do a skin test at the beginning of your session or we can set up a time for you to stop by Breanna’s home studio in Far East Dallas for a skin test.

To read more about the brands that Breanna uses, check out her blog post about the paints in her kit.

• Arrive with clean skin with no heavy lotions or oils applied. Lotions and oils will prevent the paint from sticking. 
• Bring a robe or loose clothing to cover yourself after your appointment.
• You may get paint on your clothing, please wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained.
• Bring a sheet to cover the seat of your car.
• You may get cold while being painted. Bring cozy socks or a robe to keep yourself warm.

Absolutely! In fact, we strongly encourage clients to eat breakfast and bring snacks or drinks to their appointment. We recommend small sips to stay hydrated and eating bite-size snacks throughout to keep you energy up. Standing/sitting still for an appointment can be much more tiring than many people realize.

That’s completely normal. Most clients feel more at ease once we get talking and the session gets underway. We always aim to create a low-key, judgment-free environment, and you set the pace for what you’re comfortable with. Breanna has also been body painted many times, so she fully understands what this all feels like!

Depending on your preference, you can be painted fully nude or you can also wear pasties and/or underwear. We can paint over bikini tops and bras, however, painting over fabric takes longer and the results aren’t as ideal for photoshoots. 

For body paint photoshoots with Boudoir by Erin, you will be painted and photographed in her studio in historic downtown McKinney, TX.

Studio Address:

101 W Louisiana St suite 205, McKinney, TX 75069

We will provide you with a paint removal kit and instructions to take home. The kit typically includes a washcloth, makeup wipes, castile soap (if wearing full body paint), and adhesive remover (if needed).

Very carefully! However, going out in public while painted is one of the fun parts of being body painted (assuming you’re following your city’s rules for being clothed!).

That said, we recommend that you:

• Bring a robe or loose clothing to cover yourself after your appointment.
• Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained.
• Bring a sheet or towel to cover the seat of your car.

Your health and wellness are a priority. We cannot paint anyone with signs of illness such as fever, sneezing, cough, or broken/irritated skin. If you are feeling unwell before your appointment, please get in touch so you can reschedule. There are no additional fees to reschedule.

Deposits are non-refundable, however, in the event of the need to reschedule, your deposit will be applied towards a future appointment to be booked within 12 months of the original appointment. Should Breanna need to cancel due to any unforeseen circumstances, your deposit will be refunded.
