This is the original recipe, it is ok, but it does not work
too well.
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. water
1/2 tsp. cold cream (Ponds is the best, as it does not contain
very much paraffin)
Food color
So, I started experimenting with it.
To make a good face paint, one that you can use water with,
you have to have a base of WHITE, and use more cornstarch.
Go to Michael's Arts & Crafts, or any craft store that
carries white food color in a 2 oz. bottle, then add about 2
tsp. per recipe. Add more cornstarch, and this paint works great.
You can use it just like watercolors.
Have fun
