5 Mess-Free Bodypaint Alternatives That Will Save You Time and Money

Bodypaint takes time. It often means hours of application, paint rubbing onto clothes or other people, and constant touch-ups especially during events and convention season.

Seamless catsuits, armsocks shirts, tights, and gloves from We Love Colors give you the same effect as painted skin: fast, reusable, and customizable. They save hours, prevent transfers, and create a clean base for airbrush, appliqués, or hand-painted designs.

Why garments Instead of Only Paint?
Save time: Dress in minutes instead of spending 4–6 hours painting.

  • Reusable & durable: Wash and wear again, in over 50 saturated colors.

  • Comfortable stretch: Move, dance, and perform without cracks or fading.

  • No transfers: Protects other clothes, props, and people from accidental smudges.

  • Customizable: Airbrush, hand-paint, add appliqués, rhinestones, or glitter directly on fabric.

Options for Every Performer
Each performance or cosplay requires a different level of coverage. That’s why our collection is versatile:

Bodysuit 5004 + Wrist Gloves + Tights
Body, arms and legs in full color, while keeping your hands accesible. A smart option for handling props or makeup when the seams can be easily covered by the rest of the costume.

Armsocks Shirt Style 5012
The Second Skin Armsocks Shirt Style 5012 is perfect for cosplay, performance, and creative styling. Its high neck design keeps your costume flexible, combine it with face paint, armor, or accessories without worrying about uneven tones.

Full Coverage Catsuit 5010
The ultimate transformation piece. Covers high neck, gloves, and feet (even individual toes) seamlessly, perfect for total bodypaint replacement. It does have a back zipper to get in and out of costume easily.

Second Skin Armsocks Shirt 5012 + Tights 1053
A modular option. The shirt covers the neck, torso and arms with integrated gloves, this option comes with no zipper, a more seamless torso overall, while tights finish the look for complete coverage making the visits to the restroom easier, since these are two separate pieces.

Sheer Gloves & Sheer Tights
For softer, translucent effects that blend beautifully with airbrush or layered paint. Great for “watered-down” finishes.

Recommended Paint Pairings
For best results, our community recommends:
-Jacquard paints for bold color on fabric.
-Mehron for face painting that matches seamlessly with the garments. You can check our color matching guides here and here
