My mentor assigned a project for me, which was to create three different types of fake blood. The first had to be a lighter colored blood that would be fresh blood. The second had to be thicker and darker, as if it were an older blood sitting out for a while. The last blood just had to be edible, to apply safely to the mouth area when needed. For the first batch of fresh blood, I used corn syrup, red food coloring, a little black food coloring, and a bit of water. For the second batch, which would be the older, thicker blood, I used corn syrup, chocolate syrup, starch, red food coloring, green food coloring, and a little purple food coloring, a little bit of sun burn reliever (aloe vera) since it has a gel thicker consistency to it, and I also added a little bit of water. And the last batch was 100% edible, even though the first batch was edible as well, this is the darker version of an edible blood. I used ketchup, corn syrup, red food coloring and a little bit of green food coloring. It may not taste great, but it works. If someone would like to have the taste better, they can substitute the ketchup for a thick fruit punch.
With these bloods I creates different wounds: cuts, stitches, a ripped mouth.

"Infected" makeup look
4/26/14
I spent a couple hours creating a look that gave an almost realistic infected look. I first covered my face with a white grease paint; only enough where the skin looks naturally paler. I then applied a mixture of blue and purple and red grease paint from a bruise wheel onto the bottom of my eyes, to create a sunken in eye/tired/sick effect. I also applied this mixture to the sides of my nostrils and under my nose as well as the corners of my mouth. I added some neutral colored concealer and applied that onto my lips to give a pale look and also dry up my lips to give a sickly look to them. After the pale and sick look was done, I then added "veins" that looked visible to give the infected look. As easy as this sounds, it took a while to get the perfect shades and the more realistic look.
