Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • food coloring, liquid or gel

Directions:

  1. Mix cornstarch and flour together in a bowl.
  2. Gradually stir in Karo syrup and water until smooth.
  3. Divide mixture into individual containers as needed (Mix and store in baby food jars or discarded film canisters - or Glad plastic ware cups/lids - see pictures).
  4. Color each one with the food coloring of your choice until you reach your desired color (I like mine darker - they seem to show up on the skin much better). Leave one batch untinted.
  5. NOTE: I felt the mixture was thin so I added another tsp or so of cornstarch. The recipe didn't say to do this, but the face paint still worked.
  6. NOTE: If using the gel food coloring (I find the colors are more vibrant), you will want to mix with your spoon first and then put the lid on the container and shake, shake, shake to mix it all up. Otherwise, your paint will be speckled with pieces of the gel food coloring.
