Barbecue Sauce Blood (edible)

• Use a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's® barbecue sauce and 2 tablespoons of molasses.

• Slowly stir in the sifted chocolate powder until mixture is desired darkness.

Peanut Butter Blood (edible)

• Use smooth or creamy peanut butter for best results. Chunky peanut butter will add a coagulated look, but it's harder to work with.

• Slowly mix in corn syrup until the desired consistency is reached. As the mixture ages, it will thicken a bit, providing more realism.

• Slowly add single drops of red food coloring until the mixture is dark red; the darker the better - it will look more like real, drying blood.

• If wished, add a little bit of chocolate sauce or chocolate fudge for a darker color.
• If you want a thicker mixture, slowly add corn starch (in very small amounts to ensure even mixing). The solution should thicken with time.

• Note that this mixture may stain clothing, so be sure you don't want to use the clothes for normal wear again.

Jell-o Blood (edible)

• Microwave 3 to 4 bottles of glycerin.

• Add one cube of strawberry jelly or Jell-O and mix thoroughly

• Add 1/5 of a packet of gelatin.

• Add red food coloring.

• Stir until it's thoroughly mixed. It's ready to use now.

Icing Blood

• Put a small amount of icing sugar in a bowl.

• Add a few drops red food coloring until frosting reaches the desired color.

• If it's too thick, add a little water.

Chocolate Blood (edible)

• Combine light corn syrup with red food dye until you get a shade that closely resembles real blood. You can also use a red drink mix (like cherry Kool Aid® powder) instead of red food dye, although be warned that this changes the flavor.

• Carefully add a small amount of cocoa powder to the syrup mixture to darken the shade and cause the fake blood to turn opaque like real blood.

• Perfect the consistency. Either thin the blood by adding water or thicken it with a couple pinches of flour.

Creating blood for make up

Okay, making blood is really simple actually but the hardest part is to get the right sort of blood that is suitable for the right make effect..


These are the steps in making blood..really interesting isn't it?




Non-toxic blood

• Combine 1 part water with 3 parts corn syrup (known as golden syrup)

• Add drops red food coloring gradually and mix gently by stirring. Continue adding drops until the shade resembles that of real blood (always on the side of adding less, as it's easier to add more). Add a small amount of blue or green food coloring to achieve a more realistic shade.

• Add a thickener. Suitable thickeners include:
• Dry thickener - Add sifted flour or corn starch to your mixture, and gently mix it all again. You may get small lumps forming at the top of the mixture. Wait about a minute and the lumps will float to the top where you can remove them easily.
• Wet thickener - Stir in chocolate syrup until the desired consistency is reached. Chocolate syrup adds a realistic brown tone to the blood.
• Alternate Wet Thickener - You can also use pancake syrup to also add a brown tone, and make the blood a bit more thick, not too less and not too much.
• Let the mixture sit for ten minutes in a warm environment. This will give it some time to thicken. And then you can freak people out with it – it's a lot of fun.

Special Effects Make Up

By far, the most fashionably and favorite make up would be the Special Effects Make Up. Realism, move aside! Fantasy, imagination and creativity are in the house! to me, this would be the 'no holds bar' make up. Everyone can go all nuts doing this and there are no limitations or anyone saying that you can't do whatever that you like. Special Effects Make Up can be ......well,just see for yourself...
