FACE PAINT

Face Paint image

Of all the face paint recipes that I've seen and the one that I tried before this, I like this one the BEST (differnt from the other on Recipezaar). Skeptical at first, but the paint actually dries (may take about 10 minutes or so) and isn't sticky like I would think. My DD has had it on all day and it hasn't rubbed off on any of our furniture, carpet, etc. She loves it! Also, this face paint is thin (not like the other crisco/cold cream recipes) and comes off easily with soap and water.

Time 10m

Yield 1 batch, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon flour
3/4 cup Karo light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
food coloring, liquid or gel

Steps:

Mix cornstarch and flour together in a bowl.
Gradually stir in Karo syrup and water until smooth.
Divide mixture into individual containers as needed (Mix and store in baby food jars or discarded film canisters - or Glad plastic ware cups/lids --- see pictures).
Color each one with the food coloring of your choice until you reach your desired color (I like mine darker -- they seem to show up on the skin much better). Leave one batch untinted.
NOTE: I felt the mixture was thin so I added another tsp or so of cornstarch. The recipe didn't say to do this, but the face paint still worked.
NOTE: If using the gel food coloring (I find the colors are more vibrant), you will want to mix with your spoon first and then put the lid on the container and shake, shake, shake to mix it all up. Otherwise, your paint will be speckled with "pieces" of the gel food coloring.

Tips:

Choose the right ingredients: Use natural and gentle ingredients that are safe for the skin. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.
Prepare your skin: Cleanse your skin thoroughly before applying face paint. This will help the paint adhere better and prevent irritation.
Test the paint: Always do a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying the paint all over your face. This will help you identify any potential allergic reactions.
Apply the paint carefully: Use a soft brush or sponge to apply the paint. Start with a thin layer and build up the coverage as needed.
Set the paint: Once you have applied the paint, use a setting spray or powder to help it last longer.
Remove the paint gently: At the end of the day, use a gentle cleanser and warm water to remove the face paint. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemicals.
