Bodypainting professionals and students alike descended upon the Olympia Beauty Show on Monday, ready to do battle with brush and sponge once more. Contestants had four hours for their paints, working hard under the watchful eyes of Head Judge Julia Townend, transformation queen Maria Malone-Guerbaa, Julie Oliver of Illusion Magazine, Ellie Goulding’s personal MUA Lucy Wearing, beauty and brush maestro Louise Young and the legendary Mandy Gold.

This year’s theme was Alice in Wonderland, chosen by Julia for its versatility and relevance; “The theme of Alice in Wonderland is synonymous with the world of fashion, theatre and film. This year celebrates the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The theme adapts well into the world of Bodypainting and offers extensive interpretation of each character detailed in this exquisite book. Think: Mystical, Decorative, Illusion, Mirage, Sinister, Tyranny, Warrior, Comedy.”
