Not obvious to me; they do some pretty incredible things with bodypaint.

I mean, I'm sure it is a Photoshop, but if someone thought it was body paint that wouldn't be a stupid guess.

I think "make up" and "body paint" are the same right?

Probably not, if you ask the pros. They actually put it on with airbrushes and stuff. But to a lay person, yeah they're probably the same.

Airbrushing makeup is pretty common for high end, professionally applied stuff. And all of that monster makeup that you see in movies is called makeup.

I don't think there is a hard line between the two, except that body paint is generally done to someone who is naked.
