Yes, a kid face painting kit will probably have better colors, but you and the kids will have as much fun (if not more!) using face paint that you've made.

Toddlers and first timers might be hesitant to have their faces painted - don't force them. Paint their hands and feet instead. Try painting something simple. How about a lady bug on a kid's fist!

You'll find face painting designs that will cover the entire face. Not many kids have the patience to sit still until this is finished. Remember that it's supposed to be fun and it won't be if they get impatient and you loose your temper because they are not sitting still. So, stick to simple designs that is quick to complete. Then everyone is happy. If the kids are old enough, they could paint each other's faces - now that's fun!

How to paint a face

• Start with a clean face
• The paint must be applied in thin layers. Each layer should be dry before the next is applied.
• Have a brush for each color, otherwise you'll have to wash your brush between colors.
• Dry brushes with paper towels. Remember, if the brush is too wet, the paint will run.
• Take lots of photos and have fun!
