Answer:
Face painting along with body painting has its roots in ancient history and has been associated with cultural practices and traditions. Both face and body painting have existed around the world. There is some evidence that even Neanderthals may have practiced face painting. Face painting has been employed for religious or cultural traditions, hunting, military reasons, theatre, or for artistic purposes. Unlike tattoos which are permanent, face painting is a temporary work that lasts several hours or even days as with the case of henna painted decoration.
Body painting, including the painting of faces, did enjoy some popularity as a fine art form during the 1950s and 1960s. The French artist Ives Klein is most closely associated with the painting of models. While models have been painted as if their skin were the decorated canvas, Klein painted models and then instructed them to roll on sheets of canvas to achieve his desired effect.

1. Realism (a.k.a. naturalism) is a style of art regarded by most as “real art”. This is because it attempts to portray the subject as it actually appears in real life but stops short of appearing like a photograph. Realism art is without stylization or following the rules of formal artistic theory. Instead the artist spends a fair amount of time and effort paying attention to creating an accurate depiction of life forms and objects, perspective creating the illusion of reality, good composition, lights and darks, and color and tone.
