During my last photoshoot we did some "wet look" shots using glycerin and water. Here's the end result. I have done baby oil and water in the past but it does look more "oily" instead of "wet". I did achieve the wet feeling and extra texture on the skin but was hard to get droplets of water to stick in place, any suggestions on how to achieve that effect?

Also any comments on which crop works better (click on images for bigger size)?

Nowadays I shoot Nikon, but deep inside I am still a Canon lover... plus Nikonians don't have a cool place to hang like POTN :)

A 50/50 water/glycerin mix is what I use, it works really well with 2 exceptions: The nozzle of my spray bottle gets gummed up after a while and shoots a stream onto the model instead of a nice mist, and, I've had a couple of fair skinned models get a slight temporary rash from the mix (out of maybe 10 total models that I've used it with). Don't break the model.
