November 21, 2008, Newsletter Issue #181: How to Make Fake Blood - Applying Costume Makeup

Tip of the Week

These professional costume make-up ideas are non-toxic but none of the recipes are meant to be eaten. CAUTION! Some of these will stain some clothes. All will wash off your skin with soap and water. EQUIPMENT: Measuring spoons Bowl INGREDIENTS: 2-1/2 Tablespoons water 60-70 drops of red food coloring 10-15 drops yellow food coloring 2-3 drops blue food coloring 5-1/2 Tablespoons white corn syrup DIRECTIONS: 1. Mix all of the food colorings and water together. 2. Slowly stir in the corn syrup until the mixture is thick, but still "slides" down your arm. (This goop will stain your clothing, so donīt wear the good stuff!) 3. Smear it on your skin wherever you want the "blood" to be.
