Here's the fun:
Face painting done in creative shapes and designs is a nice alternative to wearing a mask on Halloween night. In addition to using face paint to complete a Halloween costume, kids will enjoy this recipe for birthday parties, staging a backyard play, and for dress-up on a rainy day.
Stir together the corn starch and cold cream until well-blended in a section of a muffin tin. Add water and stir. Add food coloring, one drop at a time, until you get the desired color. Or, create a new shade. Three drops of blue and one drop of green food color will create turquoise. Two drops of blue and one drop of red will make violet.
Paint designs on faces with a small paintbrush: remove with soap and water. The face paint may be stored in covered clean recycled yogurt containers.
