Has anyone heard using salad oil sprays to acheive this look?
I'm trying a easier way . I have a olive oil spray I considering using for this shoot I'm doing on location.
I'm looking for an easier way and less messy.

Thanks,

Hi Christy,

Dunno about anyone else, but I can't view the links you posted. I'm doing a swimwear shoot tomorrow, so was keen to see them!!

The links don't work for me either.
I've never used oil in a mister nor would I. Unless you're doing nudes, you don't want to be sparying oil around clothing... It would be too hard to control.
Try using K.Y. Lubricating Jelly or Baby Oil Gel with a bit of liquid or pigment shimmer added.

I copy and pasted the first link and the pic came up...

I use baby oil gel to get that look, and maybe a bit of bronzer for definition if I want. Just be careful to really rub it in well, you dont want streaks or globs, so really check her from all angles after you apply to be sure you didn't miss any spots.

I can't see the link either but yes, I have used PAM cooking spray as well as shimmers, baby gel, KY and anything else at one point or another. It just kind of all depends on what look your going for.

I use the Olive Oil spray thats made for hair, it's in a green can in the hair care aisle, usually grouped with relaxers and whatnot.... It is really lightweight, smells good and is aerosol. In my experience it covers a lot more area, with less product in less time. It is so lightweight, I have never had a problem with it staining clothing or being too slippery like with baby oils or bronzing oils.

Hey Rachel

Me too--I use that spray. Love it

Its hard to know exactly what your talking about since I cannot see the example. The spray works well--just used it for a editorial. Love it and you don't have to go in the nether regions to add shimmer.

I was using my very expensive hair shine products and came across the can in the beauty supply shop--in NYC it about $3.50

Thank you, blushun!!

If the swimsuits don't have to be returned ... it probably won't be a problem, because they can be laundered afterwards. But you don't want to be responsible for costing the stylist/client the extra bucks. You should always ask first, before spraying. Have a back up plan, just in case.

the olive oil sheen that rachel rose and i use isn't like regular oil...it's basically like spraying hairspray near clothes.

that's not to say that you don't have to be careful with ANY oil getting on clothes, but it's very different from a typical baby oil pump spray, for instance.

Whenever I get close to clothing I always drape or place either tissue or towel under the clothes. I never spray close to the clothing without doing that.

I know what stylists go through--I respect what you guys do to the ultimate level and in no way would I make your day any harder then it is

I also wanted to add--there are levels of shine and how one would go about it.

Baby oil produces a different look then the oil spray. Certain other sprays and oils, and gels give off different looks as well. I use another hair product for the body for different oil effects. It gives me a different look then the baby oil gel I use and the olive oil spray

Get those oils out and start playing and you will see what I mean.

Without seeing your example it is hard to tell what effect you wanted

DeShawn,

Only on a MUA board can we suggest that the members get different kinds of gels and oils and play with them.... and not sound like total pervs!

haha!

Thanks!!! emelle for editing the links, I did it correctly and strange that it didnt work.

I did a mag shoot in Jan. and they wanted the same idea of having it shiny bodies. this time will be different, I only have one model we are working on and I get to focus mt att: on her.

I will defintely come prepard with any makeup, I will practice the day before and to see what products acheives the best effect. Just in case I need to go to the nearst CVS, which is close by.
I also have the organic root stimulator, I love this stuff. I can use it for almost anything.

I will take the advice on bringing towels to cover up the bikini and not to get it on them. The Client will be there on location with us.

Thanks everyone for all your adivice!!!!
Love ya :rock

Christy... Here is what baby oil gel and shimmer liquid that I recommended will look like. I added bronzer to the mix as well, but you may not need to. Perhaps others can post their skin images and what they used in order for you to see the effect.

The Olive Oli Spray is the MAGIC!!! I use it also & every photographer I have worked with went out & got their own can to use when I am not working with them. Olive Oil Spray gives a very sublte shine "moist" skin look rather than glossy, highly shiny glare that baby oil gel or other oil products gives. It is about $2.99, for that price you can't fail!!! It does not stain clothing like other greasy oil product. I have yet stain any garment worn by the model when I spray them.
