Author of “Body Art Controversy” Gives Away Face-Painting Secrets in New Halloween Make Up Guide

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 27, 2008 -- On October 9, 2008, professional artist Philadelphia Tivoli became an Internet celebrity when she wrote her blog “Body Art Controversy.” In this blog she discussed whether or not ‘nude’ body-painting was a work of art, or something that was morally objectionable. She included a photo of herself modeling the work so those new to the concept would have an understanding of what body-painting entails.

The response was overwhelming. Over 30 pages of comments were posted, from people of all religious backgrounds. Some were offended by the concept while others said body-painting is okay if it used for artistic purposes. There were also a few who didn’t understand why there was a problem, since technically Tivoli was fully-covered. Her private parts were covered with a thong, while her nipples were covered with stickers. Body paint was everywhere else.

Regardless of where one might stand on the issue of body art, there is one thing that cannot be argued; Tivoli is a very talented woman whose work could actually be used to help those interested in theatrical face-painting.

Enter Tivoli’s current project: a Halloween Makeup Guide. With this guide, a person with no makeup experience can learn the exact techniques Tivoli uses to transform her face and body.

Now, in terms of style, Tivoli presents her instructions in an easy, step-by-step manner. Basically, if you can read, you will have no problems understanding Tivoli’s guide.
You will also get an opportunity to learn tricks that only Hollywood artists know. Examples include: fur effects, adding dimension to the face, shimmer/sparkle effects and much more. Altogether, you will learn makeup tips for 20 face-painting designs.
When you are finished with the face-painting guide, you can read through Tivoli’s bonus books. These provide information on Halloween safety, Halloween food recipes and much more.

All in all, Tivoli is a gem to the art world. Not only is she forcing people to think outside of the box, but she is also giving ordinary people an opportunity to work magic with the makeup brush.
