make up/paint from their faces? what is the name of a white cream people in the 50's used to remove make up white paint from their faces?

In children's church Christmas programs, etc., they used to make up their faces, and then the children would remove the paint with a white cream by deeping their hands inside the container and put the white cream on their faces to remove the make-up/paint. I wonder what was the cream's name. Anyone know?
