What can I use to draw a mustache and beard on my DS's? Is eyeliner good for that?

eyebrow pencil, scorched cork, or dark brown eyeshadow.

take a cork from a wine bottle and burn one end by sticking it the fire--assuming you have a gas stove. what you get is carbon from the burnt cork. then you rub the cooled cork over the skin, leaving a black smudge. it's a classic technique.

that being said, let me point out that I myself do not believe in putting any kind of makeup or coloring on small children's faces. I prefer to let the costume speak for itself and leave the punim alone.

Another option: washable markers. They smudge pretty quickly/easily, though. But on the plus side, it's fairly easy to remove when you DO want to remove it. And non-toxic.
