Bodypainintg Contest at the Make-up Exhibition in Paris
On 7 June 2025, Paris was transformed into a stage for living art: the French Bodypainting Award took place as part of The Beauty Experience and attracted artists and visitors from all over Europe. What followed was a day full of creativity, colour and impressive body art.
Amidst the inspiring atmosphere of The Beauty Experience, international artists were given an impressive platform to realise their visions of the theme "Revolution of beauty" live on the bodies of their models. Visitors were able to experience the creative process up close and were amazed at how people were transformed into walking works of art step by step.
The jury for the event included respected professionals Dany Sanz, Houyam Hajlaoui and Cindy Pasqualin. They judged the works in the Brush & Sponge Category, focusing on creativity, technical execution, and the connection between body and story.
The competition was incredibly strong, with many outstanding artworks and a very close race to the top — congratulations to all the winners for their exceptional creativity and to every artist who brought their unique vision to life on stage!

Photographers Diana Bivolan and Dmitri Moisseev captured not only the final artworks but also powerful behind-the-scenes moments. Their photos show that bodypainting is more than just color on skin — it is a true art form filled with emotion, skill, and expression. More photos can be found at the gallery.
