Now, I know what you're thinking: "What's the big deal about cornstarch?" Well, let me tell you, it's not just for thickening soups anymore. Cornstarch is the secret ingredient that will make your face paint smooth, creamy, and non-cakey. And don't even get me started on the importance of using high-quality glycerin - it's like the holy grail of face paint ingredients.
So, now that we've got our ingredients, let's talk about the art of mixing. You want to start by mixing the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl, until you get a smooth, paste-like consistency. Then, add in your glycerin and mix until it's fully incorporated - and I mean fully incorporated, don't be like me and end up with a batch of face paint that's separated like a bad marriage.

Next, it's time to add in the green food coloring. Now, this is where things can get a little tricky, because you want to make sure you're using the right amount of coloring. Too little, and your face paint will be a wimpy green, but too much, and you'll end up with a face that looks like it's been dyed in a vat of green Kool-Aid. So, start with a small amount and build up gradually, until you get the perfect shade of green.
