    Materials:

    Cold cream
    Glycerin
    Tongue depressors
    Loose face powder (optional)
    Food coloring
    Small cups or containers
    Brushes

    1. Put some cold cream in small containers (figure A), approximately two to three teaspoons.

    2. Add drops of food coloring and two drops of glycerin.

    3. Mix well with tongue depressor (figure B).

    4. Apply with a brush on your face (figure C). Powder down lightly to set.

    Tips:

    • Face paint should keep from one to two weeks.

    • If you do not have a brush applicator, use a cotton swab.

    • Face paint should not stain clothing, but wash it out immediately to ensure that it will come out of most fabrics.

    All products can be purchased at craft, drug, and all-purpose stores nationwide. No special products are required.
