Halloween Greasepaint Makeup Ma-keup (Courtesy of Judy Starkey, Ext. Home Economist): Halloween costumes and makeup can get expensive. Here is a recipe you can make at home as an added bonus it's easily removed. There are two basic formulas. The white mixture forms the base for the creature you want, as well as any color-tinted area. Thebrown mixture is used for most of the dark details. Other details are made with lipstick and eyebrow pencil. White Formula: 2 teaspoons white shortening 1 teaspoon white flour 5 teaspoons cornstarch glycerin and food color Using a rubber spatula, blend the first 3 ingredients on a white plate to form a smooth paste. Add 3-4 drops glycerin for a creamy consistency. The yield should be enough for a child's face. Add food color a drop atatime,blendingeach drop until you have the desired shade. Brown Formula: Mix as for white formula: 1 teaspoon white shortening 2 12 teaspoons unsugared cocoa Because the brown mixture is the same general consistency as the white formula, you can use it effectively to paint details. An eyebrow eye-brow pencil is often too hard an instrument to use with the soft makeup. Use soft paint lines over the base mixture. Removal: The Halloween greasepaint can be removed easily, after the last trick or treat, with white shortening, shorten-ing, cold cream or baby oil.
