Body Paint: Rubber Mask Grease Paint

Rubber mask grease paint is also known as RMG.  You can add a couple of drops of 99% isoprophyl alcohol to create washes of color or blend colors together.  The easiest way to apply it is with a sponge.  It works remarkably well on top of latex, but takes a little TLC to remove.

You can apply RMG with either a sponge or brush.  It's texture is thick, and somewhat sticky, like rubber, therefor it would definitely not work in an airbrush machine.

Pros:
RMG works well on top of latex, which helps tremendously if you're trying to blend out a bald cap, or latex prosthetic onto the skin.

Cons:
The texture takes time getting use to, it has a sticky consistency.  There is a little bit of a struggle to remove this paint.  There is special products you can buy for removal.

Although it's not necessarily a great body paint, it would be prefect for coloring a bald cap, or a type of latex prosthetic.  Just be sure to apply with a sponge, and  take your time to be sure you remove all of the paint from your skin.
