paper cups
Cotton
swabs or sm. brush
PREPARATION:
In
bowl, mix 3 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon flour. Gradually

paper cups. Color 3 batches with food colors of your choice (1/2
teaspoon liquid or 1/4 teaspoon paste for each batch). Leave 1 batch
untinted. For additional colors, prepare more makeup.
Separate
tissues into single layers; tear lengthwise into 2-inch wide strips.
Using swabs or brush, paint generous coat of untinted mixture on
forehead; place strip of tissue over area; pat firmly with
fingertips. Brush on more of same mixture to cover any dry spots on
tissue. Continue painting rest of face, one area at a time, and
covering it with tissue. Don't paint eyelids or around eyes.
Let
dry about 15 minutes; time depends on temperature and humidity. Stir
colored batches before using. Paint on 1 color at a time as desired.
Let dry slightly before using another color if you want them to
blend, or let dry completely if you don't. To speed process, use hair
dryer on air setting.
