Face painting without the fuss

HOSTING a child’s birthday party, or keen to have fun with the grandchildren before the summer’s over? Face painting is a sure-fire hit — but the mess is less welcome. So try these new face paint brush pens, which have a soft brush tip but come impregnated with pretty, bold colours that squirt onto the brush when you twist the base of the pen. No need for pots of dirty water and smears of face paint all over your home. Plus, they’re ideal to be used on the go and are easily removed with soap and water. Pack of three, £9.99,
