Homemade Makeup Recipe

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1 Tbsp solid shortening (cooking shortening)

food color drops - don't use too much because it can stain the face.  

Instructions: Mix the first two ingredients.  One batch is enough to cover a child's face -- the recipe can easily be doubled.

  To make different colors, divide the white makeup into small portions on old margarine container lids. 

Add drops of food coloring (a bit at a time) and stir with a plastic spoon or popsicle stick.

Apply makeup to the skin using fingers, cotton balls, makeup sponges or even clean paint brushes.

After applying makeup pat the skin gently with baby powder (use cotton balls or makeup sponges).
