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

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 type of flour: All-purpose flour is a good choice for most face paint recipes, but you can also use cornstarch or rice flour if you have sensitive skin.
  • Add a little bit of oil: A small amount of oil, such as coconut oil or olive oil, can help to keep the face paint from drying out too quickly and make it easier to apply.
  • Use food coloring or natural pigments: You can use food coloring to create any color of face paint you want. If you prefer natural pigments, you can use things like turmeric, paprika, or beet powder.
  • Test the face paint on a small area of skin before applying it to your face: This will help to ensure that you don't have an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients.
  • Apply the face paint in thin layers: This will help to prevent it from becoming too thick and clumpy. Use a brush or sponge to apply the paint, and blend it well.
  • Set the face paint with a setting spray or powder: This will help to keep it in place for longer.
  • Remove the face paint with soap and water: When you're finished wearing the face paint, wash it off with soap and water. You may need to use a little bit of makeup remover to remove any stubborn paint.

Conclusion:

Homemade face paint is a fun and easy way to add some color and creativity to your next party or event. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a variety of different colors and designs. Just be sure to test the paint on a small area of skin before applying it to your face, and remove it with soap and water when you're finished.
