Yes... But, it didn't work... Or at least not for long.
TPE is soft (as you know) and teeth are not on the thickest part of the TPE so they bend and that makes the paint crack.
Tried a couple of different sorts paints mixing titanium white with a tiny amount of yellow ochre which makes them more realistic. Sometimes looked fantastic when first applied but didn't take long to crack where eye shadow lasts well and bends with the TPE.
Others may have different approaches that improve the durability of water based and acrylic paints.
