Do you hear that?
It’s the sound of bright pastel colors!
I had drawn a cute design of a chick popping out of a decorated egg. My daughter saw my design and thought it was so cool; she wanted it on her face. We found some time to apply it to her face, but we didn’t like the outcome. It looked great on paper but not so much in person. (She is too embarrassed to share the picture.)
The next day, my daughter took it upon herself to draw out her own design. We decided to try again but with what she liked. We still stayed with the egg design. We did not do a base color, like some may normally do because as a kid it’s hard to sit still. Everything was a distraction!
We started at the top with our main design: hearts and circles.
The Mehron paints work very well with a spritz of water. It doesn’t take too much to get it working. There are a variety of colors to choose from. We had a nice selection to work with but someone decided they wanted a color we didn’t have. We mixed blue and pink to get a nice lilac color.
We moved down the face with the rest of our design and she came out as a beautiful egg! This was a fun thing to do, while we are at home for the time being. She felt very involved by picking her own design and getting to wear makeup. It made one happy child (for an hour). I’m sure we’ll use these more to have some fun. She may even get to paint my face.
