With stay-at-home orders extending into the summer in many states, it's understandable that parents are trying to find fun new ways to keep their kids from going stir-crazy.

Eva Mendes allowed herself to become a human canvas for her two daughters, 5-year-old Esmeralda and 4-year-old Amada on Saturday.

Mendes, an actress and former model, was at the mercy of her daughters when they wanted to give her a Hollywood-style makeover. Unfortunately, while the girls may have started out with the best of intentions, the look devolved into that of an experimental art piece.

However for the 46-year-old, the pain of having makeup -- and maybe markers -- smeared all over her face by the two youngsters probably allowed her a few delectable moments of peace. Simply captioning the photo of the end result as "They’ve won," it definitely appears that, maybe, the makeover was secretly a well-executed prank.
