Greasepaint Formulas for Makeup

White Formula:
2 teaspoons white shortening
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon white flour
Glycerin
Food color

Using a rubber spatula, blend first 3 ingredients on a white plate to form a smooth paste. Add 3 or 4 drops glycerin for a creamy consistency. The yield should be enough for a child's face. Using fingers, stroke in one direction, spreading mixture over face.

NOTE: use a white under-eye makeup stick for good overall coverage.

Brown Formula:
1 teaspoon white shortening
2 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder (with no sugar)

Mix and use as for the white formula.

Greasepaint can be removed easily with white shortening, cold cream or baby oil.
