Video Transcript

"Do you have a special event coming up maybe a special date or you want to entertain the kids? My name is Keeley Selvage with "Keeley's Skin Solutions" and I'm going to show you how to make body paste. What you need is corn starch, shortening and some food coloring and that's it. You want to take one and a half tablespoons of that shortening and three tablespoons of the corn starch. Mix them together. I like to mix them in a larger saucer and then I I take little cups like this and I put a little bit of food coloring in them. You take it in there and you mix it. Mine needed a little bit of thinning so I just added some water and you get the perfect consistency for body paint. Then you just take a paint brush and you can put on whatever you want to put on and it will last for several hours and it works great with a paint brush and you can do whatever you want on the skin. My name is Keeley Selvage with "Keeley's Skin Solutions" and that is how you make body paint."
