Step 9: And of course, SAFETY!

Under no circumstance should you use products on your skin that are not intended for cosmetic use.  These include metal flake paints, 'ceramic' paints, kid's water colors, finger paints or really anything else you find in the artists' aisle, such as fabric dyes, inks or paints in tubes. 

Non-Toxic does not mean it's safe to put on your skin, it just means you won't die if you eat it.

Yes, you can use super glue to attach a latex application to your skin, but I don't think you'll like getting it back off.

Follow all instructions on paints and colors you do buy for your skin - always, always test a patch of skin at least 48 hours before using, and if the container says 'do not use around the eyes and/or lips' - follow those instructions.  If you do have a reaction, take necessary steps by rinsing your skin with clean water and mild soap.
