Hi! This is Cable. I am going to talk about some tips and tricks for making your own Halloween makeup. Halloween would not be Halloween without a little blood, and there is a lot of varieties of blood out there. Some kinds that you can buy range from stage blood, which is a thin blood that can be used in the mouth. You can also find other kinds of blood that are made for different skin types, and also blood that is supposed to be from, say, a puncture wound to the lung. It is a brighter color, it is used for clothing or on the darker skin tones. It is also a litter thicker, so it would not run as much and probably would be as messy. Another type of blood product this is called fresh scab, it is very, very thick, and it is almost like a paste; and this is used when the blood is not supposed to run it off or it supposed to have congealed.
