Twins baffle Los Angeles residents with body paint trick

The Stacey Twins took the body paint challenge to Hollywood Boulevard, and the results were quite interesting.

The mark of a good body paint job is the surprised-yet-delighted expression on people's faces when they find out the beautiful outfit the model has on is not, in fact, real. 

Hannah and Leah Stacey, identical twins who are actresses, models and social media personalities who go by the name "The Stacey Twins",  allowed body paint expert Jen Seidel to create identical outfits for them as part of a "spot the difference" challenge. There was a twist: one twin would be painted into her outfit from head to toe, while the other got dressed in an identical kit. 

To test their painting skills, Jen Seidel and her daughter Kennedy, who assisted in creating the twins' outfits, sent the women out onto Hollywood Boulevard to ask one question: "Can you tell the difference?"

The body paintwork was so good that people on the street had to be prompted to guess several times before they understood what they were really seeing. 

Jen Seidel, who took up body painting on a whim after she was invited to a costume party, is a qualified make-up artist and author of Covered, a coffee table book showcasing her body painting projects.
