Do you need to paint your child's face for Halloween, a play or just for fun? Here is an easy to make homemade recipe.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1/2 tsp cold cream
  • 1/2 cup container

  1. Step 1

    Mix cornstarch, cold cream, water. Add enough drops of food coloring to make the color vivid in a cup.

  2. Step 2

    If you’re making several different colors then have more cups available so that you can mix them in their own cups, one by one.

  3. Step 3

    Stir well and add more cornstarch if too runny. To make it super creamy and easier to stir you can use a mixer or a blender.

  4. Step 4
