What do you think I should do for a body paint themed photoshoot?

So I’m doing several photoshoots for my schools annual “Top Model” fashion show. In previous years, they just had a fashion show where girls were eliminated through rounds in the show. This year, they’re trying to be more like the actual “American’s Next Top Model” tv show by doing photo shoots this semester that will cut half the girls and then a fashion show in the Spring that will cut the remaining girls. Because we’re in school we can’t do as many photoshoots as we’d like but one of the shoots we’ve decided would be interesting is a body paint themed shoot. But I’m wondering if we should actually paint a design on the models or have paint dripping and splattered for an abstract look. The prices of paint are a little expensive but we really are dedicated to doing this theme. What would you do? Do you have any experience in body painting? Any tips?
