My kids absolutely love this recipe, they help mix it and them paint away on their face!

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp. warm water
  • 1-1/2 tsp. cold cream (any brand)
  • a few drops of food coloring

Directions

Mix all the ingredients in a paper cup/bowl. And if the mix is too thick you can add a few drops more water. You can paint with your fingers or a paint brush.

tried this and this was almost perfect.. the quality wasn't that goo as store-bought face paint, but then it was fun doing the face painting with my sister. :)

removing it, wasn't that hard. after wards, I rubbed little of the cold cream and wiped then I let her use Betadine skin cleanser to clean it all. and the stains were gone.

I tried this and found the food colouring left a faint stain for a couple of days and it was tacky and didn't dry. Was fun to put on but the cleaning up was the problem.

I had the same question, does it stain?

This sounds like fun. Does this paint stain clothing or skin?
