I won’t this year but I would if my sin wanted his face painted at this age it’s a waste so we don’t paint faces

If my son wanted his face painted I would definitely make the paint myself. I just read an article that said store bought face paints contain metals, cadium which is linked to cancer, birth defects and brain damage, they also found mercury and lead. So I will never allow my son to put that stuff on his skin!

i don’t use the store bought face paints-i use crayola washable non-toxic markers. pretty sure it’s better than the paints

Eh, I prefer not to do face painting. Costumes are just easier to take off and reuse.

Not for Halloween, but we did for our Easter Party at church this year! So much better.

I don’t do face painting – but definitely recommend people make their own or buy some that doesn’t contain metal!

Face painting is too hard to wash off. And I do not like putting foreign chemicals on my children’s faces!
October 29th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Now that’s an interesting idea! If my kiddos were older, I’d definitely be up for knowing what was going on their precious little faces.

Making face paints sounds fun–maybe we can try it out! Thanks for the great tips!

Thank goodness my son doesn’t like his face painted. He’s pretty young and we’ve only dressed him up 2x so far. I don’t like all the gunk in face paint and it’s really hard to remove which leads me to believe it’s not good to have on your skin. I’m not sure if I would make my own paint, but would probably give it a shot. I would probably be more willing to buy a natural face paint.

No only because I can’t paint to save my life. Otherwise it sounds like a good idea for the pocket book and the child’s well being.
October 29th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
I would if I had a recipe.
October 29th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
