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:

Use a white base paint that is specifically designed for face painting. This will help to ensure that the paint is safe to use on your skin and that it will not cause any irritation.
Apply the paint in thin layers. This will help to prevent the paint from becoming too thick and cakey.
Use a damp sponge to blend the edges of the paint. This will help to create a smooth, natural look.
Set the paint with a setting spray. This will help to keep the paint in place and prevent it from smudging.
Avoid using too much paint. A little bit of paint goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more as needed.
Have fun! Face painting is a great way to express your creativity and have some fun.
