How to Make Fake Movie Blood
- 1). Measure 1/8 of a cup of corn syrup into a small bowl or measuring cup. You may use light or dark corn syrup, but light corn syrup may require a bit more food coloring.
- 2). Add about 20 drops of red food coloring to the corn syrup and stir well. If you are going for a nonrealistic, super gory fake blood effect, bright red may be just what you are looking for to complement your monster makeup. If you are going for a more realistic look, add blue food coloring one drop at a time until you reach your desired shade.
- 3). Thicken your fake blood for easier application by adding about 1 tsp. of sifted white flour. Stir the mixture as well as possible and let sit for 10 minutes. After the mixture has set and thickened a bit, the extra flour will float on top where you can easily remove the clumps. Adding flour will also make your fake blood less transparent and more realistic.
- 4). Make your fake blood as tasty as it is realistic, especially for zombie or vampire costumes. Instead of adding blue food coloring, add a drop or two of chocolate syrup. The chocolate syrup not only makes your makeup taste good, it will thicken and darken your fake blood for a more realistic look.
