Create a smooth, customizable makeup base suitable for children with simple ingredients and gentle application, ideal for fun costume or theatrical looks.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Using a rubber spatula, blend the white shortening, cornstarch, and white flour on a white plate to form a smooth paste.
- Add 3 to 4 drops of glycerin to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined and the desired texture is reached.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother application, ensure your white shortening is at room temperature before blending. If you prefer a different texture, you can substitute the cornstarch with arrowroot powder. Experiment with food color to achieve your desired shade, keeping in mind that liquid colors may affect consistency. Always test on a small area of skin first to avoid allergies, especially if using for a costume.
Serving Suggestions
Apply the Greasepaint with a sponge or brush for an even finish. It pairs beautifully with a dramatic eye makeup look or simple lip gloss for a complete costume effect. For easy cleanup, use a gentle makeup remover or warm soapy water after use.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Greasepaint in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. To refresh the consistency, add a few drops of glycerin and mix well before use. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or moisture to maintain its quality.
