Do the "no mirror makeup challenge"

What can I use if I don't have a small paint brush or washable paint?

If you don't have the small paint brush, use a clean cotton swab or fingertip for applying color, and if washable paint is unavailable substitute with non-toxic water-based face paint or diluted food coloring while still wetting and loading your applicator from the cup of water as in the instructions.

My paint is running or too faint—how can I fix it?

If the paint runs, shake off extra water gently over the cup and blot the brush on a paper towel before loading, and if strokes are too faint reload the brush by touching it lightly to the washable paint color you chose and practice once on a paper towel first.

How can I adapt this activity for very young kids or older children?

For toddlers have an adult sit at the table, put on the headband, and paint a large simple stripe or heart while keeping the towel, cup of water, and cotton swabs within easy reach, and for older kids encourage smaller details, multiple washable paint colors, and using the 'find the center point of your forehead' step to center more complex designs.

How can we extend or personalize the no mirror makeup challenge?

Extend the challenge by layering two washable paint colors for shading, adding tiny highlights with a cotton swab, creating matching wrist or cheek accents with the same design, and then share a photo of the finished creation on DIY.org.
