Watch This Girl Wear Body Paint For A Day Instead Of Real Clothes

This girl wore body paint for an entire day to see if anyone would notice, and you won’t believe how long it takes people to realize it!

Julie Nolan, the girl in the video, had never been body painted before. While she admits that she was kind of nervous, she said she thinks “it’s going to be a positive step for me.”

Nolan wanted to wear body paint for a day for more reasons than just to draw attention. “Growing up I never really had much of an issue with my body image until probably late high school. I was in a musical, and I had to wear a leotard on stage. The next day at school, I heard someone talking about my cellulite on my legs. I was always really concerned with if I looked skinny enough, and that kind of planted a seed in my head.”

The skilled body painter proceeded to paint Nolan’s body as if she was wearing a white v-neck t-shirt and a pair of ripped blue jeans, and the results are unbelievably convincing.

After the paint was applied, Nolan bravely walked out into the public eye. The video shows several groups of people not even noticing she was wearing body paint, and others taking a while to figure it out. “By wearing body paint, I feel like I’m taking off a shield and putting myself out there,” said Nolan.

“I came into this feeling scared, but I feel like I’ve conquered a huge fear that I’ve had,” Nolan stated. “Wearing only body paint is really similar to having insecurities. You feel naked, or you feel all these naked things about yourself that no one sees or understands.”
