Thanks!

on 11/22/2005 Craft paints contain ingredients that are not skin-safe nor fda compliant. Use facepaint. It's available in most discount stores this time of year. Play safe.
I'm a professional face painter and teach face painting. One of the most common misconceptions is that non-toxic paint is safe for skin. Not so!

on 1/15/2008 This is so easy and it works really well. For an all-green witch face, for example, simply put enough face makeup to cover your face in the palm of your hand and then slowly mix in food color until you get the color you want!
