Festival Face Paint

It's Festival Season!  
Time to experiment with Colorants and Pigments and create your own Silky-Smooth Face Paint. It’s fun to make, easy to clean up, and safe for kids and adults alike!

Equipment You’ll Need:
  • Measuring cup
  • Measuring spoons
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
Ingredients:
  • 4 oz Carrier Oil (any light oil, like jojoba or fractionated coconut oil, will work)
  • 1 oz Colorant or Pigment (make sure it's skin safe ... micas or oxides work well)
  • ¼ cup Arrowroot Powder (use less if colorant is an oxide)
  • 1 tbsp Vitamin E oil
Customizing:

 STEP 1
Add 4 oz of the Carrier Oil to your mixing bowl, slowly mix in ¼ cup Arrowroot Powder.

Mix until Arrowroot Powder is fully dissolved.
 STEP 2
Slowly add 1 oz Colorant or Pigment and mix thoroughly.

If you would like to have a thicker paint, add more Arrowroot powder, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
 STEP 3
Add 1 tbsp of Vitamin E and mix well.
STEP 4
Pour into a bottle or jar.  Your new Face Paint is now ready to use!
