Homemade Face Paint

Part of our present to papa for Father’s Day was sending him off on a photo trip with a friend. Since both Anna and I are still getting over our colds, I decided against going to the pool. Instead we mixed up a batch of face paint following instructions at Superheroes and Princesses. Anna was in charge of measurements and overdid cornstarch a bit, so we had to rescue our face paint from becoming an oobleck, but the end result was quite striking. She really enjoyed painting my face, hands and feet and took many pictures of her efforts. She told me that she wants to be an artist, but “to paint on skin, not a paper”. Maybe she will be a make-up artist one day… with a bit of practice :)
