Step 1. Assemble ingredients: face lotion, corn starch, dye (food coloring was used here, but an alternative would be washable watercolors), vegetable oil*, containers for mixing and a stirring device. *Note: for those with sensitive skin, omit the oil.

Note: to remove paint, simply wash face with soap and water. The blue coloring may leave skin slightly dyed even after washing, but cleansing with coconut oil should help remove any residual pigmentation.
