Foam Play Makeup

Sweet Girl is the biggest girly girl, and I love it. She loves her babies, purses, necklaces, and makeup. She loves to watch me put my makeup on and is always whining for me to giver her some to put on too. I have seen lots of ideas for play makeup, but this play makeup tutorial from Playing House in Maryland is the BEST that I have seen.  As you can see in the pictures, it looks very real.

Here is what you need:

• Empty makeup containers- I had just finished a compact of powder, which was very convenient. I got the eyeshadow and blush from the dollar store.
• Colored sheets of foam- I got mine from Joanns for under $1 a sheet.
• Hot glue

I started by scraping out the makeup from the cases. Since I only spent $1, I didn't feel too bad about just scraping it out and throwing it away.

Then I cut out the pieces of foam to fill in the holes. To get accurate measurements I pressed the foam down into the empty cases and it left an indentation of how big each space was. Then it's super easy to cut out each piece and glue in.

I also bought a little pack of brushes from the dollar store and sewed a little bag for her to keep it all in. I also threw in a necklace and ring to top off her fancy look. She has played with it so much. She is always carrying her little purse around. It has been so much fun. One of the funniest things is seeing people's reaction to her makeup. Because it looks so real there is always a moment of shock and concern for their nice clean carpet.
