quick question: I'm doing a zombie makeup tutorial (more of a paper, really) for one of my university classes. I used your blood recipes (the wound blood and the gooey blood, specifically) in my paper. How would you like me to credit you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well since it's a university paper I would assume you have a "Works Cited" page. So you can put me as a link in your works cited. and my name is Laura McDonald, if that is of any help...?
That's gotta be a pretty sweet paper?

It's actually a little more informal than that (which kind of kills me). But I have a glossary and I put you in there.
It's awesome! My professor read my rough draft yesterday and adored it.
I'm doing it for a general composition class. We're learning how to formally write about a creative/mechanical process.

What about putting it on clothing you wanted to stain? Would it wash out easily? I'm going as a Hunter from the Left 4 Dead games, also is it ok to have in your mouth like dripping down your face kind of?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does stain light clothes, especially white. It stains it pink. But I have noticed that it rarely stains on darker clothes. So going as a hunter, your clothes will probably be dark, so you should be fine!
And yes! The bloods made from corn syrup, food coloring, and cocoa powder are edible! So you can eat it if you like!

this is awesome

yeah, it stains light colored clothes, a very light shade of pink. So wear something that you can sacrifice!

Good recipe. I little bit of yellow food coloring helps too. The iron in our blood gives a slightly orange tint to it as it dries. Then as blood congeals it becomes more burgundy/brown. Depending on whether you want the look of fresh blood, kinda fresh blood, or old blood, you might have a couple different recipes.

hey, thanks for the tip. I'll have to try it out!

Wow, squirt some up your nose at the class and instant nose bleed
I must make sure my siblings do not find out about this

I'm making it tomorrow at my friends house and we're going to use it in some photos. But because I'm in Australia, we couldn't find any corn syrup in our local supermarket. I figure corn flour will probably work. . . It's a thickener. What do you think?

it may work dissolving it in water...but it may be a little cloudy...try it out and let me know!

Well. . . that sure was. . . interesting. It worked out pretty well, although if we let it sit for too long it looked really fake.

is it okay to use for people who have skin allergies?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'm not entirely sure. if you think you may be allergic to any of the ingredients, then i wouldn't use it. if you are not sure, test a small amount on your skin, and see what happens.
I have sensitive skin and it does not bother me.

oh thank you very much i've been looking for tutorials on how to make face blood that will work for sensitive skin.

This was so helpful, thank you very much!
Didn't know it was so easy to make fake blood, just a question, I don't live in the USA, could you give me a reference regarding the use of the petroleum jelly so I can find it in here?
Keep up the good work

Petroleum jelly is also know as Vaseline. In the US you can normally buy it at a drug store, pharmacy, or department store like target. [link]

This is definitely handy.
It works well on cloth too, yes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
for the most part. it is just very sticky on cloth.

you could also use the petroleum jelly mix to make an awesome perfectly colored lipstick in exactly your shade

Awesome,
but I found my thick blood is very repeling of the thinner blood. Any way to fix this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not really, it's the oil in the petroleum jelly that does that. I found that too, but I just add more of the thinner blood when I realize it's starting to come off.

Ohkay, thanks. ^^ Great help this was!

hey!
amazing stuff, but i've a question,
does the blood stay always wet or will it dry up?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The petroleum jelly blood doesn't dry much. It will get a little stiff, but you can just move it around to reactivate it.
The corn syrup blood will dry and become sticky, just like any other syrup would do. It takes a bit of time to dry, but I do prefer that it dries a bit in order to photograph it better.

In the past, as an edible substitute for the daring kids who end up licking at their bloody wounds more than they should and complain about getting a mouthful of nasty petroleum jelly, I've purchased a small bag of shredded coconut and either used it as-is or mashing it up a bit with the Karo syrup.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha! that's a good trick, is the coconut for more dimension and depth?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It can be used for that, yes. And the shreds themselves work incredibly well as torn flesh wounds when lined up parallel to each other, simulating a tear in the skin.

oh, I will definitely have to try that one! thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you use it, would you note me so I may see?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I surrrrrrre will. you don't even need to ask!

Rock on! Have fun with it!

This tutorial is fantastic! I've tried it, and have in fact posted my pic and a link to this tutorial. I tried using table syrup instead (didn't have any corn syrup) and worked well too. It was sooooooo sticky! And delicious
Thanks for this tutorial!
