DIY FAKE BLOOD

I have been ill for the last week so I made myself get up and do something, that something just happened to be make some fake blood.

  Ingredients;

     -10ml of cheap bright red lip gloss 

     -8g of face powder/talc 

     -a capful of red food colouring

     -a small resealable container

     -something to stir with i.e. a cocktail stick

1. Mix together the powder and the lip gloss. Gradually add the lip gloss and mix in slowly so as not to get it everywhere. The lip gloss makes it gooey whereas the powder makes it thicker, if the mixture isn't thick/gooey enough add more of the relevant substance.

2. Add the capful of food colouring to make the colour more pigmented. Stir slowly as adding this makes the mixture split slightly and slide everywhere but keep stirring to combine.

3. If the mixture still isn't thick/gooey enough add a bit of Vaseline.

4. Decant the mixture into a small resealable container.

You can change the recipe however much you'd like, this is just how I do it and I only made a small amount as I didn't need all that much. If you didn't like this recipe here are some more. It may also take a while to get off. My mixture was very thick so I wouldn't use it as a dripping blood probably more of a wound filler type of blood, next time I'd put a bit of blue food colouring in it to make it darker.

SCREENFACE (review)

NASMAH is an organisation set up to encourage media makeup artistry and has links to many makeup companies across the word including Screenface. Screenface is a make-up site that also has two shops, one in Notting Hill and one in Covent Garden. If you love sfx make-up this place is basically heaven on the web!

Screenface Store (Covent garden, London)

They sell products to people in the UK from companies such as; RCMA, Fardel & Visora, Stockists of Kryolan etc. of which you would not find in superdrug. These products include all types of make-up but also tools, learning resources and fancy dress for all your aesthetic needs *Typical cheesy American ad voiceover*. Their products have been tried and tested by professionals, featured in films such as Indiana Jones, Apocolypto and Harry Potter but also in the westend production of The Lion King, which automatically gains my approval.

This website also offers services such as; an airbrush makeover, a fancy dress makeover, eyelash applications, basic SFX, face art design and bridal work etc. The prices of these services all depend on the intricacy of the design. 

They have offers of the week, which is where they take the prices down on some products and put them on sale for a week which gives you an excellent opportunity to buy the more expensive products or even more of the products you would usually buy as they are at a cheaper price.
