Get creative in the kitchen by whipping up face paint that can literally be licked off at the end of the night. Mommy magazines say you can make your own by mixing lotion with food colouring, but I’m not wild about the synthetic FD&C food dyes used in store-bought stuff. Truly natural food colouring is hard to come by in Canada, so what’s the alternative? Start with an all-natural face cream (the thicker the better, or thicken with a little arrowroot powder) or you could use (fair trade) cocoa butter as your base. Then mix in DIY blueberry or raspberry juice (mash and strain your berries) or ¼ teaspoon turmeric, cocoa, spirulina, kale or beet juices – the list goes on. For an au-naturel zombie look, try mashed avocado on your face. Yes, some of these will stain, but if you can’t get dirty on Halloween, when can you?
