Dark Green Tip #1031 - Make your own Healthy and Eco-Friendly Halloween Facepaint

We all like to dress up, but a lot of that holiday make-up we are using is toxic for us and our planet.  Luckily there are some easy ways to make your own with materials you already probably have on-hand.

First, make a base out of unscented lotion, pure cocoa butter, or a mild toothpaste (avoid mint flavors, as they can make skin tingly). Then, add the following ingredients for color.

* Yellow: Add 1/4 tsp. of stale turmeric to base.

* Pink: Using a sieve, mash the juice from 3 fresh or thawed frozen raspberries, blackberries or beets directly into the base. Or, use a deeply colored berry juice or puree.

* Mint green: With a fork, mash 1/4 of a small avocado until creamy. Mix this into your base.

* Purple: Using a sieve, mash the juice from several fresh or frozen blueberries into the base.

* Brown: Add cocoa powder or chocolate sauce to base.

* White: Mix powdered sugar and water.

You may not have these ingredients at home, but for bright green and black facepaint look for squid ink (black) and spirulina or bright green chlorophyll (green) to add to the base.  Good luck and have a spooky Halloween!!
