When I started doing face and body paint in 2005, I worked at a theme park, days were so hot and sweaty and I remember asking “why isn’t there a brush on body paint that’s sweat resistant?” I was 16, it was my first job, but in spite of the long days, I fell in love with transforming children and adults into fabulous creatures and the feeling that I was one of the experiences that brought delight in their day...That's not when Body Color Cosmetics started, but that's when I first jumped into this magical world of colorful painted faces.

 

 Early I noticed that there was a void in the body paint and cosmetic industry. Artists, entertainers and enthusiasts needed a body paint for conditions that involved water resistance, but would also not burn the eyes like with Alcohol activated water resistant makeups; They also needed a brush on solution for events where electricity for an airbrush was not readily available.

​

I had just finished filming a reality show called Skin Wars, and returned back in the Carolina's. I was going through a divorce, and had thoughts of  "whats next? surely this not all..". I went to sleep that night and as silly as it sounds I dreamed that I had a body paint company that offered water resistant brush on body paint in many colors. when I woke up from my dream, I thought "the reason why its not created yet is because I am supposed to create it!" ...yes it sounds so silly, but immediately after I started using my life long inquisitive skills and researching everything I could about cosmetic formulation, regulations and using knowledge I already had gained from the decade of painting, cosmetology and permanent tattooing.

​

I did not have the money to fund the expedition of having a body paint, so I decided I would save my own personal money and start a Kickstarter, however about a week into the kickstarter I had broken my ankle and was unable to walk. I decided to put off plans to start Body Color Cosmetics until I could fully walk again.

​

October 2017 I decided to start a GoFundMe instead of a kickstarter. GoFundMe gave me the opportunity to raise money without having a cut off time limit. On January 1, 2018 the GoFundMe raised enough money to start Body Color Cosmetics. It took another year to source ingredients, supply containers, find a Manufacturing studio and obtain documents for a legitimate legal Business and send out all the GoFundMe Kits promised to the people who were donors to the GoFundMe.

​

At last on April 1, 2019 Body Color Cosmetics Launched its first day of selling Body Color Cosmetics online as a solution to Artists, entertainers and enthusiasts that desire a product for longevity, and water resistance.
