14 Sexy Valentine’s Day Bodypaint Ideas for 2022

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and if you’re looking for a way to blow your partner’s mind this year, look no further. Bodypaint is one of the boldest and most unique ways to spice things up this Valentine’s Day. It’s both non-toxic and temporary (water-based paint washes right off in the shower). Whether you’re in a new relationship, a long-term marriage, or you’re single and looking to do a sexy solo photoshoot, boudoir bodypaint is an unforgettable experience for everyone. Bodypaint is a form of live art that accentuates your figure and transforms you into whatever you want to be. The best part is your partner definitely won’t see this one coming. If you want to be extra secretive, throw a silky or sheer robe on and surprise them in the bedroom with what’s underneath. Grab a bottle of champagne, throw some rose petals on the bed and you’re all set! 

If you’re in the NYC, Dallas, or LA area, you can book a body painting session with Trina Merry. Get pampered with a women’s empowerment lingerie session, become your alter ego, be part of a camouflage painting, or any other type of bodypainting you choose. Our goal is to celebrate your body and work with you to create your dream look. You will have creative input in the project by co-creating a custom design with the artist or presenting your own idea. The session includes a photoshoot with high-quality, lightly retouched photos and you can even get your hair and makeup done.

Red and Pink Painted Lingerie

Red and pink are the ultimate Valentine’s Day duo. Red is symbolic of love and romance and is also the color most commonly associated with sexual desire. There are many theories for why red symbolizes passionate love, one of them being that it is the color of the heart. Pink combines both red and white and is said to retain characteristics from both colors - passion and purity. Therefore, pink is a color that typically symbolizes innocent love. Pink will give you a feminine, cute look while red can make you appear more powerful and sexual. Choose your favorite color or combine both for a festive Valentine’s Day lingerie look. 

Bold in All Black

Who says you can’t wear all black on Valentine’s Day? Black is one of the sexiest and chicest colors (not) in the rainbow. It shows you are confident, elegant, and most importantly it’s flattering on all body types and skin tones. Black is not only the color choice for iconic outfits like Audrey Hepburn’s signature dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Princess Diana’s “revenge dress,” but it’s also associated with power and mysteriousness. Channel your inner dominatrix and take control in the bedroom with this bold look. 

All Hearts Everywhere

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear Valentine’s Day? If you answered hearts, that’s probably because the heart shape has been used as a symbol for the holiday ever since it was first celebrated in the 1600s. Wearing painted hearts on your body is not only festive for Valentine’s Day but also shows your significant other how much you love them. You can go for the classic red and pink, rainbow, or even sweethearts that have messages like “be mine.” And don’t forget to paint some extra hearts around your eyes for maximum cuteness. 

Handpainted Rose Lingerie

Roses are the most romantic flower and a classic Valentines’ Day gift. The association between roses and love dates all the way back to Greek and Roman mythology when people believed that the goddess of love, Aphrodite, created the red rose with her lover, Adonis. Roses also make a beautiful pattern on lingerie. You can include them subtly as a lace or mesh pattern or go for something more eye-catching and make them the focal point of your look. This bodypaint is perfect for romancing your partner and paying homage to the tradition of gifting roses on Valentine’s Day. 

Romantic Rose Look

Why stop at rose lingerie when you can literally transform yourself into a rose? This look gives you all the romance of rose lingerie with an extra dramatic flair. Become a rosebush and cover your entire body with red and pink roses or wear a delicate trail of floating petals from your face down to your legs. You can also use a smaller rose design as an accent to one of the other lingerie looks to add some more Valentine’s Day festivity. 

Play With Edible Paint

Are you looking for a fun partner activity to try in the bedroom? Edible bodypaint may be the answer. It comes in a variety of flavors and is washable, safe, and non-toxic (as long as you don’t put any paint inside your genitals as this can cause an infection). Edible bodypaint isn’t made for complex designs, so it’s best to try this at home and paint something simple or just focus on the feeling of your partner running a brush over your skin. Edible paint introduces new erotic sensations into the bedroom such as taste, touch, and smell, which can add variety to your sex life and create new memories. You can order these online or look here for a DIY recipe. 

Black Light Boudoir

UV bodypaint is a fluorescent paint that glows in black light. It’s a popular trend at music festivals and concerts, but you can also use it in a boudoir photo shoot or as a sexy glow-in-the-dark surprise for your valentine. This type of bodypaint creates a stunning, neon look in black light that is sure to both hypnotize and excite your partner. Combine it with UV face makeup to complete the look and you’ll feel like you’re on another planet. 

Sexy Sports Uniform Bodypaint

Are you and your partner die-hard sports fans? February is not only Valentine’s season but also Super Bowl month! Bodypaint and sports often go hand-in-hand with fans all over the world painting their chests and faces in their team’s colors to cheer them on at games. Celebrate this tradition by wearing a hand-painted athletic uniform on Valentine’s Day. This look is not only super sexy but also allows you to show off your sporty side and you’ll score extra points if you rep your partner’s favorite team! 

Hand Painted Corset

Although originally intended for shapewear, the aesthetic of a corset has become an iconic staple in boudoir and fetish fashion and is making an impact in the mainstream fashion world. The corset accentuates a woman’s curves and enhances her femininity and sexuality. It’s also perfect for a vintage-inspired or pirate-chic look. Real corsets can sometimes feel restrictive, but with bodypaint, you can get the look of a corset with none of the discomforts.

Cutout Lingerie

Want to leave no room for the imagination? Cutouts aren’t just for clothes. You can embrace this look while in the nude with bodypaint! Cutouts accentuate your best assets whether they’re your breasts, hips, butt, torso, or even your genitals. Add some decorative straps and pair the look with painted-on pasties or set your nipples free. It’s up to you! 

Liquid Latex Lingerie

What’s even sexier than lingerie? Latex lingerie! Latex outfits are popular in the BDSM community because they are super flattering and equally badass. With liquid latex bodypaint, you can get a high-shine latex look that perfectly adheres to your body. Just like regular bodypaint, it is completely temporary and can be removed in the shower with soap and water. 

Pinup Look

Are you inspired by Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, and vintage lingerie looks of the past? You too can become a pinup girl this Valentine’s Day with some bodypaint and the right hair and makeup. Pinup girls are often seen wearing red and white (two popular Valentine’s Day colors) lingerie and swimsuits. Get the pinup girl look complete with a bra, bustier, corset, garters, and stockings in the form of hand-painted lingerie. Pair this outfit with some voluminous curls, winged eyeliner, and a bold red lip and you’ll be photo ready. 

Superhero Cosplay Bodypaint

Your Valentine’s Day look doesn’t have to be red and pink or even lingerie to be show-stopping. Superheroes are known for having some of the sexiest form-fitting costumes in existence. Having superpowers is also sure to boost your self-confidence whether that’s in the bedroom or a photo shoot. Become your alter ego as Wonder Woman or channel your inner Megan Fox as Supergirl. You can even try wearing liquid latex bodypaint as Catwoman or go all blue and transform into Mystique from X-Men. The possibilities are endless!

Accessorize with Faux Body Jewelry

Another fun thing to try this Valentine’s Day is faux jewelry. Get an elaborate necklace or body chain painted on your skin or opt for some Swarovski crystals as accents to your lingerie look. You can also experiment with faux body piercings such as nipple or navel rings and bedazzle your privates with some crystals and rhinestones. Another perk is you can keep this jewelry on in the bedroom because it won’t get tangled or caught on the sheets!
