You can go with just simple face paint, or you can go large scale with a full-body painting. Fully body painting has been used for commercial purposes, the military, and even at festivals. You can go simple or very elaborate.
Modern face and body paints are made according to strict guidelines. They must be non-toxic and non-allergenic. The pain must also be easy to wash away.
The paint can be applied by using your fingers or a brush; wide brushes are great for larger areas, but then smaller more fine tip brushes work best for delicate lines and details. Airbrushes can also be used to paint the body.
The only thing you really have to worry about is wearing body paint for long periods of time, as it can potentially cause heat stroke, but you won't be asphyxiated by painting your entire body.
Liquid latex is great to use as body paint, but be careful when you have to pull it off. A few hairs may come with it.
Do not use synthetic black dyes that contain PPD, as you can develop a serious skin allergy. No matter what type of body paint that you use, if you start to see any signs of a reaction, you want to remove it immediately.
