Default How do I make an oil-like substance for photos?

SRSLY BRAHS.

I'm doing some physique/semi nude photos and Im gong to try splattering/covering the model with a completely black, shiney substance. Lik thick oil! But Ive no idea what to use!

Anyone more creative than me have any ideas? I'm about to raid the pantry to see if theres somethng I could concoct...

Thankyou,
Dan
